So what they say they expect is that enterprise customers are going to develop their own use cases using all of these plugins as part of this kind of big launch that they just did.

Anthropic also open sourced 11 internal plugins, while also saying that custom plugins are really easy to build, edit, and share, even if you don't have any expertise, you're not a developer.

Plugins have basically existed inside of Cloud Code for a long time, but now they're bringing them to CoWork, which I think is, you know, fantastic.

A lot of the best features that are in Cloud Code, if you could just give that to the general population that is not developers, I think this is going to be really popular.

So they're bringing them all into CoWork, and I think this is basically about making the functionality increase for Cloud and for more people.

This is what they said about it.

They said, quote, what we're really doing with this launch is bringing them to co-work and giving them a more user-friendly UI-centric experience so the maximum number of people can use them.

Inside of Anthropic themselves, plugins have already had a lot of good traction.

Apparently, they say inside of their departments.

Like data analysts and sales, they're using these a lot.

And then Piccoletta also kind of said that the sales was a particularly strong example, like they see a lot of benefit from this.

He said that the plugins helped not only direct sales teams, but also sales adjacents employees stay better connected to customers and customers.

customer feedback.

And I've seen a lot of stuff.

I've heard a lot of essentially that same sentiment from people using similar tools.

So this isn't surprising to me.

Something that I think makes this particularly powerful is the more that a company is going to use these plugins, the more Claude can learn about the company's workflows and then how to actually optimize it.

So it's learning as you're doing this and helping you optimize your company.

Right now, the plugins are saved locally on your computer, but the company said that any company in the future can have kind of organization-wide sharing tools, and that's going to be coming soon, so that'll be something that they roll out.

Co-Work right now launched about two weeks ago, and I think it's still in kind of this research preview.
