Our take
Hi Dotikers!
Get ready to meet your new favorite coworker — and no, it's not the one who steals your lunch from the office fridge.
Anthropic just launched Cowork, a feature inspired by Claude Code but designed for everyone, not just developers. The idea? Give Claude access to a folder on your computer, and let it get to work: sorting and renaming your downloads, creating an expense spreadsheet from screenshots, or drafting a report from your scattered notes.
Unlike a typical conversation, Claude operates here with real autonomy. You assign a task, it builds a plan and executes it — keeping you in the loop along the way. You can even queue up multiple tasks and let Claude tackle them in parallel. It feels less like a back-and-forth chat and more like leaving messages for an actual colleague.
On the safety front: Claude can only access folders you explicitly authorize, and it asks for confirmation before taking any significant action.
Available now as a research preview for Claude Max subscribers on macOS.
