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.)

Your terms for Claude Max point to the consumer ToS. This ToS states it cannot be used for commercial purposes. Why is this? Why are you marketing a product clearly for business use and then have terms that strictly forbid it.

I’ve been trying to reach a human at Anthropic for a week now to clarify this on behalf of our company but can’t get past your AI support.

Being able to undo any changes that Cowork makes seems important. Any plans for automatic snapshots or an undo log?

Looks cool, and I'm guilty as charged of using CC for more than just code. However, as a Max subscriber since the moment it was a thing, I find it a bit disheartening to see development resources being poured into a product that isn't available on my platform. Have you considered adding first-class support for Linux? -- Or for that matter sponsoring one of the Linux repacks of Claude Desktop on Github? I would love to use this, but not if I need to jump through a bunch of hoops to get it up and running.

Hi Felix!

Simple suggestion: logo should be a cow and and orc to match how I originally read the product name.

Hi there, your training and inference rely on the openness of Linux. Would you consider giving something back with Claude for Linux?

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

Beachball of death on “Starting Claude’s workspace” on the Cowork tab. Force quit and relaunch, and Claude reopens on the Cowork tab, again hanging with the beachball of death on “Starting Claude’s workspace”.

Deleting vm_bundles lets me open Claude Desktop and switch tabs. Then it hangs again, I delete vm_bundles again, and open it again. This time it opens on the Chat tab and I know not to click the Cowork tab...

Hi Felix, this looks like an incredible tool. I've been helping non-tech people at my org make agent flows for things like data analysis—this is exactly what they need.

However, I don't see an option for AWS Bedrock API in the sign up form, is it planned to make this available to those using Bedrock API to access Claude models?

Hey, congrats on the launch. Been thinking lot about this space (wrote this back in August: https://martinalderson.com/posts/building-a-tax-agent-with-c...).

Would love to connect, my emails in my bio if you have time!

Congrats! I'll be working this out. It doesn't seem that you can connect to gmail currently through cowork right now. When will the connectors roll out for this? (Gmail works fine in chats currently).

RamblingCTOyesterday at 8:44 PM

Was looking forward to try it, but just processing a notion page and prepare an outline for a report breaks it: This is taking longer than usual...(14m 2s)

/e: stopped it and retried. it seems it can't use the connectors? I get No such tool available

Question: I see that the “actions hints” in the demo show messaging people as an option.

Is this a planned usecase, for the user to hand over human communication in, say, slack or similar? What are the current capabilities and limitations for that?

Hey Felix, would love to give you feedback, but the language redirect of the website is trying to route me to de-de, and thus I can't see the page.

You might want to fix this.

Hullo! Congrats on shipping this, it looks great!

I'm very curious about what you mean by 'cross device sync' in the post?

Please give me access via api key

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

hello Felix, that page is 404 here at the moment :(

Congrats Felix :)

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