Claude Cowork Goes Mobile: AI Tasks Run Even When Your Laptop Is Off

Anthropic expands Claude Cowork to smartphones and the web, letting the task‑automation agent keep running without an active desktop. The rollout starts in beta for Max plan subscribers (from $100/month), with potential later access for Pro and possibly free tiers, enabling cross‑app data work (email, Slack, transcripts) to draft documents and emails after hours. This mirrors a broader shift toward always‑on mobile AI agents and pits Anthropic against OpenAI and Google, though risks like prompt injections remain a concern.
