# Anthropic Expands Claude Cowork to Web and Mobile for Pro+ Subscribers

> Anthropic is pushing its autonomous agent product beyond the desktop. Claude Cowork, which lets the assistant carry out multi-step tasks like organizing files and processing documents on a user's behalf, now runs on the web and mobile in addition to its original desktop app. The expansion opens the door to using the agent from a phone or browser rather than being tied to one machine. The more meaningful change is under the hood. A remote sessions beta keeps an agent's work synced to a user's Claude account and running on Anthropic's servers, so tasks continue even after a laptop is closed, and scheduled jobs can execute in the cloud on their own. That turns Cowork from an interactive helper into something closer to a background worker. It also marks the latest front in the agent wars, where tools first aimed at coders are spilling into everyday office work. Cowork is available across Anthropic's Pro, Max, and Team tiers, a sign the company sees general-purpose task automation, not just chat, as the next mainstream battleground.
