Anthropic Labs: Cowork, Claude Code, MCP, Skills incubator led by Mike Krieger and Ben Mann
We are using this to combine back to back announcements of Cowork, and Anthropic Labs. Cowork is a bundling and productization of a ton of the prior work from Computer Use to the bundling of Claude Code into Claude Desktop to Claude for Chrome - now in one cohesive brand and UI/general agent called Cowork. In comparison, Labs is simpler: a reorg where Mike Krieger steps down as CPO of Anthropic (for ex Meta-mate Ami Vora) and now he and Ben Mann run a >$1B ARR agent lab productizing Claude.
