This looks useful for people not using Claude Code, but I do think that the desktop example in the video could be a bit misleading (particularly for non-developers) - Claude is definitely not taking screenshots of that desktop & organizing, it's using normal file management cli tools. The reason seems a bit obvious - it's much easier to read file names, types, etc. via an "ls" than try to infer via an image.

But it also gets to one of Claude's (Opus 4.5) current weaknesses - image understanding. Claude really isn't able to understand details of images in the same way that people currently can - this is also explained well with an analysis of Claude Plays Pokemon https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/u6Lacc7wx4yYkBQ3r/insights-i.... I think over the next few years we'll probably see all major LLM companies work on resolving these weaknesses & then LLMs using UIs will work significantly better (and eventually get to proper video stream understanding as well - not 'take a screenshot every 500ms' and call that video understanding).

Can humans do nothing now? Is it harder to organise your desktop? I thought Apple already organises them into stacks. (edit: Apple already does this)

Is it that hard to check your calendar? Also feels insincere to have a meeting of say 30 mins to show a claude made deck that you did it in 4 seconds.

Hi, Felix from the team here, this is my product - let us know what you think. We're on purpose releasing this very early, we expect to rapidly iterate on it.

(We're also battling an unrelated Opus 4.5 inference incident right now, so you might not see Cowork in your client right away.)

Looks good so far - I hope Windows support follows soon!

It's great and reassuring to know that, in this day and age, products still get made entirely by one individual.

What probability would you give for Linux support for Claude Desktop in 2026?
