Anthropic has launched Claude Cowork for mobile apps and the web, so we can now access all its capabilities without relying on our computer. We can start tasks from the desktop and continue them or supervise them from any device, which makes it much easier to maintain our workflow regardless of where we are, especially in long-running or scheduled tasks.
An agent that works even when we’re not connected
Claude Cowork is a system that lets us delegate tasks so they run in the background. Now, with its launch on iPhone, iPad, Android, and also on the web, we can easily manage a project from our phone or any device with an internet connection. The agent processes our emails, documents, calendars, and connected tools, and alerts us only when it needs us to make a decision.
The big advantage here is that Claude keeps working in the cloud even if we turn off the device. We can schedule it to prepare a report, let it analyze email conversations and generate a summary, all without the interruptions that come with depending on a single device. When it needs our approval, we receive the notification on our phone and can confirm our decision with a single tap.
Another small improvement worth noting is that now Claude brings chat and Cowork mode together in one view, on the web, on desktop, and on mobile. This lets us check projects, artifacts, and conversations without changing tabs.
Lastly, it’s worth mentioning that with the launch on mobile and the web, Anthropic has doubled Cowork’s usage limits until August 5, inviting us to get the most out of this AI assistant with quite a bit more room to spare.
