Summary

Anthropic rolls out Claude Cowork to mobile and web, letting Max plan users start, monitor, and manage AI-driven tasks across devices, with background execution, scheduled automation, and real-time decision prompts — and over 90% of usage is everyday business work like financial reconciliation and content creation, not coding.

Key Points

  • Claude Cowork is now rolling out to mobile and web, allowing users to start tasks on one device and continue or monitor them from any other device, with beta access beginning for Max plan users.
  • Over 90% of Cowork usage is everyday knowledge work rather than software development, with business operations and content creation making up roughly half of all usage, covering tasks like financial reconciliation, contract analysis, and client deck preparation.
  • Key new capabilities include background task execution that continues even when devices are offline, scheduled tasks that run automatically at set times, and real-time decision prompts sent to users' phones when Claude needs human input before proceeding.
