Claude Cowork: coming to mobile and web

Your work goes everywhere with you, and keeps going without you. Claude Cowork is now rolling out to mobile and web: start a task at your desk, check on it from your phone, and pick up the finished output anywhere.

Hand Claude a real job, like prepping for Monday’s client meeting. Claude works through the email threads, transcripts, and client updates, builds the briefing doc, and leaves the follow-up drafted but unsent. Scheduled tasks now run with no device online, and when a decision needs your judgment, the question comes to your phone.

Beta is rolling out over the next several weeks starting with the Max plan, with more plans to follow.

Yes, this video provides information about Claude Cowork, a new feature rolling out to mobile and web.

Key Takeaways

Task Continuity: You can start a task at your desk and continue or check on it from your phone. It is designed to work even when you are away from your device.
Capability: Claude can handle complex professional tasks such as prepping for client meetings by reviewing email threads, transcripts, and client updates to create briefing documents.
Decision Making: For scheduled tasks, if a decision requires your input, Claude will send a prompt to your phone.
Availability: The beta is currently rolling out over the next few weeks, starting with the Max plan, with additional plans expected to follow.

Anthropic has officially expanded Claude Cowork to mobile devices and web browsers, moving the AI agent framework out of its previously exclusive desktop app environment. Released in beta on July 7, 2026, this major cloud-powered update allows multi-step agentic workflows to continue running continuously across all devices. [1, 2, 3]

Key Features of the Expansion

Background Cloud Execution: You can now hand Claude an intricate assignment at your desk, shut your laptop, and walk away. Because tasks run remotely on Anthropic’s cloud infrastructure, the agent keeps working seamlessly while you are offline. [1, 2, 4, 5]
Mobile Alerts & Quick Decisions: When Claude encounters a choice requiring human judgment or explicit approval, it pushes a notification directly to your phone via the native Claude Mobile App for iOS and Android. You can review, steer, or approve the action on the go. [1, 5, 6]
Unattended Scheduled Tasks: You can set recurring or timed workflows—such as analyzing email threads and compiling a daily briefing document at 6:00 AM—to execute even if none of your physical devices are turned on. [1, 5]
Unified Workspace: On web and desktop interfaces, standard Claude Chat and Cowork have been combined into a single unified dashboard. Your projects and live artifacts are now universally accessible from the same shared space. [1, 7, 8]

How Rollout and Access Work

Plan Tier Availability: Beta access is rolling out incrementally over the coming weeks, starting first with subscribers on the premium Max plan, with Pro, Team, and Enterprise tiers to follow shortly after. [5, 9]
How to Launch Sessions: On the web, simply click the “Cowork” option in the lower-left corner of the message field on Claude.ai. On smartphones, access the feature through the sidebar menu inside the official app. [1, 5]
Desktop App Still Required for Deep Work: While cloud-based tasks run entirely on web and mobile, deep system permissions—such as reading or writing to your local computer folders, interacting with a browser via Claude in Chrome, or direct screen-clicking features—still require the Claude Desktop App to be open on your home machine. [5, 10]
Usage Promotion: To celebrate the multi-device launch, Anthropic has extended doubled Cowork usage limits across paid accounts through August 5, 2026. [1, 2]
