Most AI tools are conversational. You ask a question, you get an answer, and the work of turning that answer into something useful—a deck, a doc, a spreadsheet, an email—is still manual.
Claude Cowork, our new knowledge work agent, lets you delegate this work to Claude so you can focus on solving more the strategic and creative problems that's occupying your time. Running in the Claude desktop app, Claude Cowork reads and writes local files, works across connected apps like Slack and Google Drive, and carries multi-step tasks through to real deliverables, with citations back to the actual files and messages. You describe the goal, desired outcome and cadence, and Claude lays out the steps and does the work, ensuring that you're along every step of the way.
To help you get started, we put together a practical product guide for Claude Cowork. We share:
- What makes Claude Cowork different from conversational AI tools and its core capabilities, including local file access, subagents, long-running work, and scheduled tasks
- A product matrix for understanding when to use what tool: chat for conversational drafting, Claude Code for coding, and Claude Cowork for cross-app knowledge work
- Setup and system requirements, the permissions model, and what to try first
- Seven common Claude Cowork workflows, including research briefs, meeting prep, and recurring reports
- How to use plugins for specific knowledge work like marketing and product management
