Anthropic has released Claude for Small Business, a collection of 31 AI skills for Claude Cowork subscribers.

The tool requires at minimum a $20/month Claude Pro subscription.

Anthropic has expanded Claude Cowork to all paid subscription tiers on macOS and Windows, adding organizational controls including role-based access, per-team budget limits, and usage analytics. A new Zoom connector integrates meeting summaries directly into Cowork, while admins can restrict connector actions like write access. Microsoft is testing an adapted version for Copilot.

Anthropic has promoted Claude Cowork from research preview to general availability, adding six enterprise features including role-based access controls, group spend limits, and usage analytics.

Anthropic expanded Claude Cowork with integrations to Google Workspace, DocuSign, and WordPress, plus pre-built plugins for HR, design, engineering, and finance tasks. The platform can now execute multi-step workflows across Excel and PowerPoint automatically.
