Anthropic rebranded the Claude Chrome side panel to 'Claude Cowork,' making browser sessions sync with desktop, web, and mobile apps so multi-step tasks carry across surfaces. Claude can see pages, click links, type text, and fill forms using your existing logins, targeting internal dashboards and vendor portals that lack API integrations. It's available on Max and Team plans now, rolling out to Pro over coming weeks, with an 'automatically approve' mode that lets Claude work without pausing for permission at every step.

Why: If you're evaluating browser-based AI agents for automating work in legacy systems or vendor portals that don't have APIs, this gives you a concrete option with session continuity across devices. The prompt injection risk is real and acknowledged by Anthropic itself—anyone using auto-approve mode should understand that malicious web content can redirect Claude to unintended actions before consequential steps.
