Cowork lets Claude, Gemini, ChatGPT, or any LLM take real work off your plate — recurring chores, file cleanup, research, reports. Describe the outcome once. Walk away. Come back to finished work.
Pull this week's metrics, drop them in the Friday template, and post the link to leadership.
How Cowork works
Pick a job, then watch how Cowork takes it from a one-line description to a finished deliverable — on its own, on the schedule you set.
Delegate
Unlike a chat window, Cowork keeps going after you close the tab. Describe what you want, set a cadence, and Claude takes it from there — checking in only when it needs your call.
Weekly metrics report
Every Fri 9amPull metrics from the dashboard, drop them in the report template, post the link to #leadership.
Inbox triage
Every weekday 8amGroup by sender, surface things waiting on me, draft replies for the routine ones.
Downloads sweep
Sunday eveningSort by type, rename loose files, flag anything older than 90 days for review.
Schedule once, forget it
Recurring tasks run on the schedule you set — every weekday morning, every Friday at 5, the first of the month. You define the work once. Cowork does it on its own from there, and pings you only when a decision needs your input.

Show me the plan before making changes. Only proceed once I approve.
Organize
Point Cowork at the folder that's been collecting receipts, screenshots, and signed PDFs for six months. It groups by type, applies a sensible naming convention, and flags anything strange for you to review.
Extract
Hand Cowork a stack of receipts, invoices, or screenshots. Come back to a single spreadsheet — every line item pulled, categorized, and totaled. No copy-paste, no manual entry.

Compose
Drop in your company template plus the source material. Cowork follows your formatting and tone, drafts the document, and can re-run it on a schedule — so the Monday update writes itself before your standup.
Q1 product update
Two launches, three pivots, and a stable foundation heading into Q2. Notable: scheduled tasks moved from beta to default, and the plugin marketplace opened to private orgs.
Enterprise admin controls, mobile pairing out of beta, and a faster onboarding flow.
Prebuilt workflows
Don't start from a blank prompt. Install a community workflow, point it at your folders or connectors, and Cowork takes over from there. Tweak the cadence anytime.

Browse the marketplacePair your phone in two taps. Cowork hands the work between devices so you can pick up where you left off — or never sit down for it in the first place.
Pair your phoneSend Cowork a task from your phone in line for coffee. It picks up on your laptop the moment you sit down.
Cowork can open apps, fill spreadsheets, navigate the browser, and call connectors — on your machine, with your permissions.
A spreadsheet, a memo, a briefing doc — finished and waiting in the folder you pointed it at.
Announcing
Cowork is ready for the enterprise — manage access, control spend, and roll it out across your org.
How it works
Scroll through the three moves Cowork makes on every job — described, run, and waiting on your approval where it counts.
Tell Cowork what you want from your desktop or phone. It picks the fastest path — a connector for Slack, Chrome for web research, or your screen to open apps when there's no direct integration.
Watch each step in real time, or close the laptop and walk away. For recurring tasks, you describe it once and Cowork handles every run after that on its own.
Cowork can only touch the folders and connectors you grant it. Before it acts, it shows you the plan and waits for your go. Redirect, refine, or take a different approach at any step.
