"Coworker is very likely just the first product of its kind that we'll see this year. Some have expressed surprise that OpenAI hasn't already offered such an agentic tool to consumers and enterprises-it probably will, as may Google and Microsoft, in some form. I think we'll look back at Coworker a year from now and recognize it as a real shift in the way we think about and use AI for our work tasks."
"Coworker lets users put AI agents, or teams of agents, to work on complex tasks. It offers all the agentic power of Claude Code while being far more approachable for regular workers (it runs within the Claude chatbot desktop app, not in the terminal as Claude Code does). It also runs at the file system level on the user's computer, and can access email and third-party work apps such as Teams."
Anthropic launched Coworker, a non-developer version of Claude Code that enables AI agents or teams of agents to execute complex tasks. Coworker operates inside the Claude chatbot desktop app, runs at the file-system level on users' computers, and can access email and third-party work apps like Teams. The product aims to make agentic capabilities approachable for regular workers and represents a move from simple chat interfaces toward AI that performs real work. OpenAI, Google, and Microsoft are likely to follow with similar tools. Additional developments include a privacy-focused AI platform from the maker of Signal and Google's work on e-commerce agents.
