Claude Cowork Automates Desktop File Workflows

Anthropic's Claude Cowork is a desktop agent that runs in the Claude Desktop app for macOS and Windows, performing scoped file operations and optional web browsing. The research-preview feature (available with a Pro subscription around $17/month) can rename, reorganize, extract data into CSVs, and drive browser tasks, speeding repetitive admin work while requiring token, CPU, and session management.
