Anthropic is making its Claude Cowork tool available on phones and the web.
People can give it a job on a computer and check on the work later from a phone.
The tool can keep working even when the laptop is closed.
For example, it could review emails, meeting notes, and news.
It could then prepare a briefing document.
Some tasks still need the user to approve them.
Those approval requests can now appear on a phone.
Anthropic says users will also receive doubled Cowork usage limits during the rollout.
Anthropic expanded Claude Cowork access to mobile devices and the web.
