This one is quietly a big deal.
Cowork used to live on your desktop. You started a job, you sat there, you waited for it.
Not anymore.
Anthropic just expanded Cowork to the web and to your phone, and it now runs in the background.
Which means you can hand Claude a job, close your laptop, and it keeps working.
Now a word from today's sponsor:
Your creative brief is due Friday. Viktor wrote it Tuesday.
Tell him the campaign. Viktor pulls last quarter's performance from Meta and TikTok, scrapes competitor ads, drafts the brief, posts it for review. You edit, he ships the creative requests to your designer. Inside Slack.
Okay, what actually changed. Three things.
One, sessions run remotely.
The work happens on Anthropic's side, not on your machine. Shut the lid, go to lunch, it keeps going.
Two, your work follows you.
Start a task at your desk, check it from your phone on the train, pick up the finished output anywhere.
Three, scheduled jobs run with no device online.
You can set something to run every morning and it doesn't need your laptop awake to do it.
Your phone becomes the remote control.
When Claude hits something that needs your say-so, it pings you. You approve or redirect from wherever you are.
Two honest caveats. You can't kick off the complex stuff from the phone yet. It's for monitoring and approving. And it's in beta, rolling out on paid plans starting with Max. So don't panic if you don't see it today.
How to actually use this.
Stop giving Claude five-minute jobs and sitting there watching it.
Start giving it the hour-long jobs you've been avoiding.
Try this, right before you step away from the desk:
Here's a job I want running while I'm away for the next hour.
Outcome: [the finished thing I want waiting for me when I get back].
Materials: [where everything lives].
Guardrails: don't send or publish anything. Ask me before any action that leaves this workspace.
Work through it. Have it ready with a short note on what you did and anything you weren't sure about.Then close the laptop and go.
That's the shift, and it's a bigger one than it looks.
Work now happens while you're not at your desk. Your hours stop being the bottleneck.
You still decide what runs and what ships. The waiting is the only part that goes.
Getting Claude running real jobs in the background, on a schedule, without babysitting, is exactly the setup I teach in Claude Mastery.
Step by step, no tech background needed.
Quick one.
What would you set running tonight if it'd be done by morning? Hit reply.
