It works with greater autonomy than chat, creating plans and executing tasks while updating you as it goes. The experience feels like delegating work to a teammate rather than issuing one-off prompts. Built on the same foundation as Claude Code, Cowork brings advanced agent behavior to non-technical workflows. It supports document creation, presentations, and file management through built-in skills and connectors. With Chrome integration, Cowork can also handle tasks that span files and the web. Users maintain full control over permissions and approvals for important actions. This balance of autonomy and oversight makes Cowork powerful without feeling risky.

The system delivers completed outputs instead of showing every intermediate step, saving time and reducing manual effort.
