What is Cowork?

The product, the difference, why you should care.

Workshop · Part 1

What is it

Claude Cowork is Anthropic's agentic AI for knowledge work.

Runs on your desktop · connects to your files and apps
Plans → executes → returns a finished deliverable
More than a chatbot.

Workshop · Part 1

Cowork vs Code

Same architecture. Different UI for different fluency levels.

Claude Code

For advanced users. Runs in the terminal or as a Mac app. Full control, more technical.

Claude Cowork

For intermediate to advanced users who prefer a familiar UI. Easier ramp into agentic AI.
