Claude Cowork
Claude Cowork is the mode in Claude where the assistant works as an agent on a folder of your real files instead of answering in a chat window. You describe the outcome, it works through the steps and saves finished files back. It requires a paid Claude plan, and the desktop app is where it reaches local files.
