Anthropic Just Turned Claude Into a Desktop Agent. Here's How CoWork Actually Works.

Anthropic has been quietly shifting Claude from a developer's tool into something anyone can use. CoWork - a sandboxed agent environment built into Claude Desktop - is the clearest signal yet. No terminal. No command line. Just mount your files, describe what you need, and let Claude work. This week, Anthropic's Head of Design Jenny Wen sat down with Peter Yang for a 40-minute official walkthrough of CoWork. That's not a casual product update - it's Anthropic telling the market: Claude is for everyone now.
