According to monitoring by Beating, Anthropic has upgraded the sidebar of Claude in Chrome to a complete Claude Cowork session. Now, sessions are directly saved to the account, allowing users to start working in the browser and continue on desktop, web, or mobile. Claude in Chrome can also directly utilize Cowork's skills, plugins, and connectors. It can read web pages, click buttons, input content, and fill out forms. When it comes to local files or requiring Claude to actively operate the computer, a connection to Claude Desktop is still necessary. In July, Anthropic expanded Cowork to web and mobile, and now has integrated the Chrome sidebar into the same cross-device session. Cowork has evolved from an independent desktop agent to a continuous working agent across browsers, computers, and mobile devices. The new sidebar version is currently available to Max and Team users, with Pro being rolled out in the coming weeks. Enterprise users will require admin activation.
