Anthropic announced on July 7, 2026 that Claude Cowork, its AI agent for general knowledge work, is expanding beyond the desktop app to mobile and web. The rollout starts with Max subscribers, with other plans following in weeks. Users can now start tasks on desktop, get status updates on phone, and retrieve results even with laptop closed.

Claude Cowork, previously only accessible through the Claude desktop app for macOS and Windows, is now available on iOS, Android, and web browsers. The expansion begins with Max subscribers, with other plans gaining access in the coming weeks. Anthropic notes that the 'full experience' for Cowork still requires a desktop connection for certain tasks, but the mobile and web versions allow users to start tasks from their desk, receive status updates on their phone, and pick up finished output later even if their laptop is closed. The product expansion signals Anthropic's intent for Cowork to function as an agentic administrative coworker that can work in the background and run scheduled tasks overnight without requiring the device to remain active.

On-device Android AI agent with MCP server for UI control

Aura is an on-device AI agent for Android that can interact with the phone's UI — tapping, typing, scrolling, launching apps, and navigating — using its own on-device MCP server. It uses LLMs to interpret commands and execute actions via MCP tools. The MCP server is also accessible to external clients like Claude Code, enabling remote control of the Android device.
