Claude Code chief on Anthropic’s new AI tool: Non-programmers will soon be to..

Anthropic has recently launched a file management artificial intelligence (AI) agent named Cowork, designed for non-programmers. The AI startup developed this new tool after users revealed they were using its developer-focused Claude Code tool for general tasks beyond coding. According to Boris Cherny, head of Claude Code at Anthropic, the company built the new product in roughly a week and a half, primarily using Claude Code itself. The move represents Anthropic’s expansion beyond its traditional software developer user base into tools for everyday users who want AI assistance with file and task management.

In an interview with Fortune, Cherny said, “It was just kind of obvious that Cowork is the next step. We just want to make it much easier for non-programmers.”
