hi there.. hope you are well..
1 - Claude Co-work for autonomous tasks
Anthropic has unveiled a research preview called Cowork, designed to automate a wide range of everyday office tasks. The tool brings the agent-style capabilities of Claude Code to non-technical users through a desktop interface, removing the need for coding knowledge.

Cowork can be given permission to access specific local folders, allowing it to independently read, edit, and generate files.
Itโs built to handle more involved workflows, such as cleaning up disorganized downloads or compiling scattered meeting notes into polished reports.
To reduce risk, the system operates inside a virtualized sandbox that isolates its actions from the rest of the computer. Users are also alerted before the agent carries out any major or potentially destructive changes.
At launch, Cowork is only available to Claude Max subscribers on macOS, with plans to expand access in the future.
Integration with Chrome and external connectors enables the agent to work across web browsers and third-party applications, extending its usefulness beyond local files.
Takeaway: This release signals a shift from chat-based assistants toward AI agents that actively manage our digital environments. As these systems gain deeper system-level access, itโs easy to imagine them running entire business workflows with minimal human involvement.
