Anthropic Launches Projects Feature for Claude Cowork Desktop

Projects Feature for Claude Cowork Desktop

Anthropic has introduced a new Projects feature for the Claude Cowork Desktop, aimed at organizing files, instructions, and task context within a single workspace. This update is available for paid users and enhances the ability to initiate new projects, import existing chats, or connect local folders, ensuring continuity across sessions.

Initially introduced as a research preview in January 2026, Cowork was made available to Pro subscribers on January 16, and subsequently expanded to Team and Enterprise plans on January 23. Originally released for macOS, the feature was later extended to Windows, broadening access to desktop automation capabilities.

Cowork stands apart from traditional AI chat windows by allowing users to grant Claude access to specified folders. This enables Claude to read, edit, and create files directly within these locations. The tool is designed for complex tasks, such as file reorganization, spreadsheet generation, report drafting from notes, and interaction with external information via MCP-compatible connectors.

The Projects feature supports a persistent workflow, allowing users to maintain a continuous work area associated with specific folders, instructions, and task history. This setup is particularly beneficial for research-intensive activities, minimizing context drift and reducing the need to restate objectives.

Users have control over which folders and connectors Claude can access, with Cowork requiring confirmation before executing significant actions. This ensures a privacy-centered approach to desktop automation.
