01 / Overview

About

Claude Cowork brings the agent architecture behind Claude Code to general knowledge work. It can read and modify files in authorized folders, use the browser and connectors to reach external tools, split complex work into parallel steps, and continue in the background or on a schedule. Files, sign-ins, connectors, and computer actions should be granted with least privilege and reviewed before consequential steps.
