  "account": "Claude Cowork, Anthropic's AI-powered work assistant, is set to arrive in Google Chrome side panels, promising to streamline task completion across various systems and tools. Initially designed as a side panel, the Claude Cowork session will now be a fully-fledged AI-powered work assistant, enabling users to access Claude's tools directly in their browser. Conversations are saved, skills and connectors remain functional, and tasks initiated in one tab can be completed on Claude's desktop, web, and mobile apps. While many tools users interact with are already connected to Claude, others, such as internal dashboards, legacy systems, and vendor portals, require a separate side panel session to avoid workflow disruptions. This new addition will allow Claude to work across these apps through the Chrome browser, maintaining context and conversations across devices. Anthropic has also implemented a check from users before carrying out major actions, such as form submissions, message sending, or file downloads, addressing growing concerns about prompt injection cyberattacks. Users on Max and Team plans will see the changes immediately, with Pro users able to install the extension from the Chrome Web Store now, with rolling out to Pro users over the coming weeks.",
