Relevance ScoreAnthropic this month released Cowork, an autonomous AI agent and plugin ecosystem that can access files, automate workflows, and execute multi-step tasks across apps. The launches, plus viral open-source assistant OpenClaw, spooked investors and rattled software stocks—Microsoft fell about 12%, Salesforce is down 42% year-to-date, and ServiceNow plunged roughly 25% recently—highlighting potential pressure on traditional SaaS seat-based models.
