    Claude Cowork

    AI Agent

    Claude Cowork is Anthropic's agentic product for non-coding knowledge work: you hand it a goal and it works across folders, connectors, and tools to deliver finished drafts for review. It is distinct from Claude Chat and from Claude Code (engineering-focused).

    Delegate recurring knowledge work such as weekly marketing readouts, spreadsheet reconciliations, bulk contract first-pass review, and deal-note analysis, then review polished files instead of stitching chat answers by hand.
