No more copying and pasting.
No more juggling between tabs.

What Is Claude Coworker?
Claude Coworker is Anthropic’s newest feature inside the Claude Max plan.
It transforms the AI from a chat-based assistant into a true AI local agent — one that interacts with your files, browser, and apps directly.
Think of it as Claude Code built for everyone.
Instead of asking questions, you give tasks like:
- “Organize my desktop by date.”
- “Create a summary report for this week’s meetings.”
- “Clean up my downloads folder.”
Claude then executes the actions itself — renaming, sorting, and saving files instantly.
No prompts. No scripts. Just real work, done.
Why the Claude Coworker Update Matters
This Anthropic Claude update brings AI automation out of the cloud and into your desktop.
You’re not just chatting anymore — you’re collaborating.
Claude Coworker connects to your local folders, Claude connectors, and even Claude for Chrome to manage browser tasks like posting on X or replying to emails.
It works like a personal assistant that never gets tired.
You can now:
- Generate and edit files locally.
- Build project prototypes.
- Sort and rename massive file collections.
- Create content, scripts, and task reports automatically.
And because it’s part of the Claude Max plan, it’s built for privacy and control — every action happens locally, not in the cloud.
How to Use Claude Coworker
Here’s a simple Claude Coworker tutorial to get started:
- Download the Claude desktop app.
Update to the Claude Max plan to unlock Coworker. - Click “Coworker” in the sidebar.
You’ll see tabs for Chat, Code, and Coworker. - Give it folder access.
Choose a local directory (like Desktop or Downloads). - Start giving natural-language commands.
Example: “Organize my desktop by file type.” - Connect your tools.
Add Gmail, Drive, or Chrome using Claude connectors for more integrations.
It’ll confirm each step, make a plan, and show you live progress while executing tasks.
That’s real AI workflow automation — right on your desktop.
Real Example: Cleaning a Messy Desktop
When I tested Claude Coworker, it scanned my cluttered desktop, found 40 screenshots, asked how I wanted them organized, then created date-based folders instantly.
In seconds, my screen was spotless.
Then it generated a progress report:
“40 screenshots organized into seven folders by date. Your desktop is now clean.”
That’s what true AI automation looks like — results, not replies.

Claude Coworker vs ChatGPT
Here’s the difference:
ChatGPT tells you what to do.
Claude Coworker just does it.
Where ChatGPT explains how to organize your downloads, Coworker opens your folder and fixes it.
It can build files, manipulate local data, and automate your real workflows.
That’s the power of an AI local agent — it doesn’t live in a browser; it lives in your system.
And with Claude for Chrome, it can even post, browse, and reply to messages directly from your desktop.
Building and Automating Projects
In one of my tests, I asked Claude Coworker to create a prototype website for the AI Profit Boardroom.
It built the HTML and CSS files automatically, previewed them in Google Anti-Gravity, and deployed them to Netlify.
It’s not just a chatbot.
It’s a full AI development assistant that can generate, edit, and deploy projects — no technical skills required.
That’s real AI workflow automation for business.
Why It’s Perfect for Non-Technical Users
The brilliance of Claude Coworker is simplicity.
You don’t need to be a developer.
You just describe what you want in plain English — and it executes.
It’s designed for entrepreneurs, solopreneurs, and professionals who want less clicking, more doing.
If you can describe your task, Claude can handle it.
What You Can Automate
Here’s what business owners are using Claude Coworker for right now:
- Cleaning local folders and removing clutter.
- Turning receipts into spreadsheets.
- Creating and formatting reports automatically.
- Managing social media via Claude for Chrome.
- Drafting and sending messages with pre-set workflows.
And it does all of this without APIs or manual setups — just your desktop app.
Known Limitations
Claude Coworker is still in research preview, so it’s not flawless.
It sometimes struggles with complex presentation layouts or visual designs.
But for 80% of everyday work — writing, organization, automation — it’s a powerhouse.
And given this is version one, it’s only getting better from here.
