Two AI labs landed on the same idea two days apart. Anthropic's Claude Cowork — generally available since April — expanded to web and mobile on July 7. OpenAI answered July 9 with ChatGPT Work, built on its new GPT-5.6 model. Both let you hand off a real task and walk away: the agent works for hours across your files and apps, then comes back with finished work instead of a chat reply.
The results are already real. Airtree, a $2 billion venture firm that's backed Canva and Airwallex, told Anthropic that competitor research which used to take two days now takes minutes with Cowork — and board meeting summaries dropped from 30 minutes to 2. Brainlabs, a media agency, had 91% of its North American team actively using Cowork within weeks, producing drafts that land roughly 80% of the way to final in the company's own voice.
OpenAI's early customers are doing similar work on ChatGPT Work: Zapier checks new product launches for readiness across Jira and go-to-market plans, NVIDIA automates prep for its GTC conference, and Virgin Atlantic builds custom dashboards that pull data from multiple sources into one view.
TL;DR: Already pay for Claude Pro? Cowork is sitting in your app right now — use it for the recurring stuff, since it runs on a schedule. ChatGPT Work is rolling out in stages and wins for a single finished deliverable built from scratch. Neither is hands-off — both still want a human reviewing the output before it goes external.
