Anthropic has expanded Claude Cowork, its AI agent tool for general knowledge work, from desktop to mobile and web platforms for Max subscribers. The update lets users start a task on one device and monitor its progress across others, reflecting a broader industry shift toward AI tools that work as background agents rather than standalone chatbots. Data from 1.2 million Cowork sessions shows business process automation makes up 33.4% of usage, content creation 16.4%, and software development just 8.7%, pointing to strong demand for AI help with administrative and business tasks beyond coding.
