Anthropic brings Claude Cowork to its Chrome extension, adding skills and plugins to the browser

Anthropic has updated its Chrome extension to run Claude Cowork sessions directly in the browser side panel. The extension, which previously handled browsing and information gathering, now executes full Cowork workflows that can generate Excel files, PowerPoint slides, and reports from web-based research.

The update enables skills, plugins, and connectors to work in the browser without extra setup. Claude handles research tasks like pulling metrics from analytics dashboards or organizing Google Drive, while Cowork converts the results into business documents. Sessions remain tied to user accounts rather than devices, and Claude requests confirmation before making purchases.

Anthropic maintains its warnings about prompt injection risks on websites and advises against using the extension with sensitive banking or health data. The update is available now for all paid plans through the Chrome Web Store.

    Large language models generate text autoregressively by sampling from an unconstrained probability distribution over tens of thousands of vocabulary tokens. While this flexibility powers open-ended generation, enterprise AI systems, automated agent pipelines, and database ingestion engines require strictly deterministic structured outputs.
