Since its launch, Claude Cowork, Anthropic’s agentic tool for knowledge workers, has run only on the desktop, leaving it tethered to a computer that had to stay open and on for Cowork to do its work, including running scheduled tasks.

As Frederic Lardinois, Senior Editor for AI, reports in today’s lead story, Anthropic is changing that. The AI giant has brought Cowork to the web and mobile, and moved all of its work to the cloud, so tasks keep running even when no device is online, and users can switch devices at will.

Subscribers to Anthropic’s Max plans, which start at $100/month, get beta access now, and the company expects to bring the updated Cowork to more plans in the coming weeks.
