Claude Cowork's built-in browser

The gist

Claude Gets Built-In Browser Inside Cowork for Autonomous Web Tasks

The integration lets Claude handle web-based tasks without users switching applications or performing browser actions manually. It extends Claude's autonomous task completion to cover websites directly inside the Cowork interface.

The full picture

Claude's Cowork interface now includes an integrated browser that opens in a side panel when a task involves a website. Claude uses it to navigate pages, click elements, type, and fill out forms autonomously, with users able to watch the actions in real time. The feature allows Claude to complete web-based tasks end-to-end within Cowork.
