Useful for a wider range of functions
The introduction of Cowork, according to analysts, signals Anthropic’s push to make AI assistants useful for a wider range of business functions.
“Cowork reflects an intent to make Claude materially useful in everyday enterprise workflows by moving beyond conversation to scoped action, particularly around document and file-centric work that dominates knowledge roles,” said Vershita Srivastava, practice director at Everest Group.
Roles such as research, project management office (PMO), operations, and analytics, where guardrails can be clearly defined, can also reap benefits from the new tool and will probably see the most uptake, Srivastava added.
