Anthropic launched Cowork, a simplified version of Claude Code built into the Claude Desktop app. Available in research preview for Max subscribers, it lets users designate a folder where Claude can read and modify files through a chat interface, without requiring command-line knowledge. The tool targets non-technical users who want agentic AI capabilities for tasks like organizing receipts, managing media files, or analyzing data. Like Claude Code, it can execute multiple actions autonomously, which carries risks like prompt injection or file deletion if instructions aren't clear.
