Autonomous agents

Describe the outcome. Cowork does the work.

Cowork is your autonomous agent. Tell it what you want done, and it plans the steps, works across your files and tools, and delivers finished work for your review. It keeps going on its own, even after you close your laptop.

// Say what, not how

You set the goal. It figures out the steps.

No flow charts to wire, no tools to configure. Describe the outcome in plain words and Cowork chooses its tools, plans the work, and gets going. Give it a skill pack to sharpen how it behaves.

Web search plus your apps through MCP.
Skills: built-in packs, or write your own.
Delivers files: reports, sheets, and briefs.
Every Monday, summarize last week's support tickets.

Here is my plan before I start:

3Draft the summary and email it
// Runs on its own

It keeps working. You keep watching.

Cowork runs its steps unattended, so a long job finishes even after you walk away. And nothing is a black box: you see every file it opened, every tool it used, and every decision it made, in real time.

Autonomous, multi-step execution.
A transparent log of every step it takes.

// Scheduled & approved

Set it once. Approve what matters.

Put a Cowork agent on a schedule and it runs on its own, then emails you the result. And when it reaches something you cannot undo, spending money or sending a message, it stops and asks for your approval first.
