## Summary

Anthropic announced Claude Cowork, a research preview tool for automating office tasks like organizing files, creating spreadsheets, and generating presentations. The tool requires access to local files and applications, raising security concerns. Anthropic warns users not to provide access to sensitive data and to monitor for prompt injection attacks, acknowledging that risks remain non-zero despite safety measures. Users are responsible for all actions taken by Claude. The service requires a Claude Max subscription ($100-$200/month) and is currently available only on macOS, with Windows support planned.
