I tend to think this product is hard for those of us who've been using `claude` for a few months to evaluate. All I have seen and done so far with Cowork are things _I_ would prefer to do with the terminal, but for many people this might be their first taste of actually agentic workflows. Sometimes I wonder if Anthropic sort of regret releasing Claude Code in its 'runs your stuff on your computer' form - it can quite easily serve as so many other products they might have sold us separately instead!

Claude Cowork is effectively Claude Code with a less intimidating UI and a default filesystem sandbox. That's a pretty great product for people who aren't terminal nerds!
