Anthropic brings Claude Cowork to web and mobile, with tasks that run offline

Anthropic is rolling out Claude Cowork to web, iOS, and Android for Max subscribers in beta, adding cross-device session sync and scheduled tasks that run with no device online. The disclosed stat that over 90% of Cowork usage is non-coding — mostly business operations and content creation — reframes the agent as a knowledge-work tool, and background execution means a session started at a desk can finish on its own overnight.

Why this matters

  • → AI agents now execute tasks offline and across devices, multiplying real-world work capacity.
  • → 90% of Cowork usage is non-coding knowledge work—redefines agents beyond software development.
  • → Background execution lets work continue while user is away, compressing task completion time.
