Claude Cowork now available as web and mobile application
Anthropic is launching Claude Cowork as a web and mobile application in beta, expanding the accessibility of the AI assistant across more platforms.
What happened?
Anthropic has expanded its AI work assistant, Claude Cowork, to web and mobile platforms. The tool, which was previously limited to a desktop application, is now being released in beta for Max subscribers, allowing users to initiate and monitor tasks from multiple devices. A new feature called Dispatch manages the workflow by routing tasks to the appropriate agent (Claude Code for coding, Cowork for general tasks) and notifies the user when decision-making is required.
Key facts
| Lanseringsdatum webb/mobil beta | 21 maj 2024 |
|---|---|
| Första tillgänglighet | Max-prenumeranter |
| Andel kodningssessioner (Cowork) | 8.7% |
| Ursprunglig lansering (desktop) | Januari 2024 |
”Anthropic has expanded Claude Cowork, its general-knowledge-work agent, from desktop to web and mobile, rolling out in beta to Max subscribers first.”
”Under a feature Anthropic calls Dispatch, a single persistent thread routes each request to the right engine. Development work runs in Claude Code, knowledge work runs in Cowork, and Claude messages back the result rather than every step.”
”Anthropic also released usage data showing business-process and content tasks dominate, with coding just 8.7% of sessions.”
Why it matters
The expansion to web and mobile aims to increase continuity and flexibility for users. By enabling work across different devices and providing real-time updates—even when the computer is shut down—the AI assistant becomes more integrated into daily workflows. Anthropic positions Cowork as an administrative collaborator handling "the work about work" rather than purely a coding tool.
Who is affected?
Anthropic Max subscribers are the first to gain access to the beta version. Developers and users managing general office tasks can benefit from the expanded availability and improved workflows. Enterprises using Anthropic products can enhance efficiency through AI-assisted processes.
What else you should know
Anthropic has also shared usage data showing that business processes and content creation dominate Cowork usage, while coding sessions account for only 8.7% of activity.
