"Claude Cowork is Anthropic's autonomous desktop agent, built into the Claude Desktop app. Give it a goal in plain language and it works across your local files, folders, and apps (via connectors, a browser, and direct screen control) to finish a multi-step task end-to-end. It is not a visual workflow builder or automation/integration platform like Sim, n8n, or Zapier. Since September 16, 2026, Cowork and chat are one Claude app, and scheduled tasks run remotely, but tasks that work on local files or apps still need the desktop app open and the computer awake.",

"Vellum's homepage, pricing page, security docs, and several product pages serve content for a consumer 'Personal Intelligence' assistant (an open-source, MIT-licensed Mac app), which Vellum announced it would shut down on November 2, 2026, instead of the original enterprise workflow, evaluations, and prompt-engineering platform. That makes enterprise-specific details, like environment promotion, version-control depth, tracing, alerting, and integration counts, harder to verify from the public site alone.",
