anthropic expanded claude cowork to smartphones and web browsers, enabling the agent to run scheduled tasks and process data autonomously without keeping a laptop awake. previously, the desktop dependency forced users to leave devices open to maintain sessions; now, the agent pulls from emails, slack, and transcripts to generate deliverables overnight. the feature rolls out first to max tier subscribers at $100/month, with plans to trickle down to pro users, following the industry shift toward always-on agents popularized by openai's codex and google's spark. this advancement implies a future where agents manage professional workflows independently, though it introduces new security considerations regarding remote data access.
