Anthropic expanded Claude Cowork in rapid March releases: Computer Use Agent launched March 23 in research preview (autonomous clicking, form filling, spreadsheet operations), Dispatch lets users assign tasks from phone or desktop in continuous conversation, and Projects (March 20) keeps files/instructions organized in workspaces. Available to Pro and Max subscribers. Cowork moves between local files, folders, and applications, synthesizing information across sources without user coordinating each step. This positions Claude as the first AI that operates as a persistent desktop coworker rather than a reactive chat interface.
