In Cowork, you give Claude access to a folder on your computer. Claude can then read, edit, or create files in that folder. Try it to create a spreadsheet from a pile of screenshots, or produce a first draft from scattered notes.

Once you've set a task, Claude makes a plan and steadily completes it, looping you in along the way. Claude will ask before taking any significant actions so you can course-correct as needed.

Claude can use your existing connectors, which link Claude to external information. You can also pair Cowork with Claude in Chrome for tasks that need browser access.

Cowork is available as a research preview for Claude Max subscribers in the macOS app. Click on “Cowork” in the sidebar: If you're on another plan, join the waitlist for future access here:

white collar work for anyone born after 2005:

claude just displaced hundreds of AI slop B2B AI SaaS products

at this point i’ve lost the ability to explain to normies what’s happening with AI i’m watching them type in MS Word, proud of a “template” someone made years ago, while models are quietly eating entire job categories it feels insane like standing in a burning room where everyone’s arguing about fonts or asking for the 100th time how the helly we add a page break it’s so over

What Microsoft Copilot should have been…

Seems like OpenAI might be MySpace

OpenAI is so far behind Gemini / Claude now it’s mad Had the most insane head-start and fumbled it

Here's the easiest way to learn Claude Code It's taught IN Claude Code, so everything is directly applicable. 100% free

virtual assistants now

the state of this desktop lmao

And I used to tell them ‘learn to code’

most viral lab product launch tweet in history i think? congrats.

Claude is slowly becoming the "MS Office" of the AI era.

There goes my 1 week advantage

billions of claude code web UIs turn to dust and blow away into the wind

Claude just mogged 15 AI wrapper startups

I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly laid off

My thoughts on Cowork from some early testing:

We’re seeing how the world is changing in a single tweet

its time

"Claude, please 100x our portfolio." "Don't make any mistakes."

In 2027, one person will do a thousand's people job while a thousand will be left jobless.

Join my live Cowork vibe-check:

everyone saying this kills hundreds of startups is wrong here’s why: we’ve seen this narrative before. it makes a clean, simple story, but it’s not how markets actually work openai devday 2023 tts launch: people said it would kill elevenlabs and similar startups reality: demand for voice exploded and the category expanded into more specialized tools. elevenlabs is doing better than ever chatgpt enterprise: people said it would kill b2b ai startups reality: it unlocked budgets, made ai procurement-safe, and created demand for everything it didn’t cover workflows, permissions, memory, integrations big labs ship a default experience that gives massive free education and proves the behavior actually works users try the flagship, then immediately ask for more vertical focus deployment control privacy multi-model deeper integrations my prediction: 10x more workplace agent startups next year because of claude cowork at scale, serious workplace agents need long-term memory and shared context across tools like gmail, slack, and google drive @hyperspell is building that context layer if you’re building a workplace agent, reach out. we’re betting on builders in this category the era of workplace agent startups isn’t over it’s just getting started

Cool, but wen Windows desktop app please? Anthropic, you've been pretty good with supporting Windows, but you're definitely going backwards now. :-(

Incredible

Would be sad if it accidentally deleted all my files

thanks im jobless now

University degrees are pointless. Jobs don’t pay you enough to provide for your family. Now even learning something like coding is pointless. Don’t feel hopeless. This era is won by the person who uses their mind & has algorithms & tech do the work.

total economic takeover

Sunset Claude Code. Just call everything Cowork. The community has been saying for months that CC is way more than just a coding tool!

Slack was created in 2013 as the greatest corporate espionage tool in the history of the world. Hoping the companies would sign on and talk about secrets in the app. Today companies will start openly giving Anthropic access to every nook and cranny of their business. Marks.
