<Summary type="rolling" window-days="90" release-count="17">
Claude pushed aggressively toward agentic, multi-tool workflows where the model operates across applications and infrastructure with minimal friction. Opus 4.7 shipped with strengthened coding and vision capabilities that feed directly into longer-running tasks, while computer use research preview let Pro and Max users hand Claude control of their desktop—no setup required. On the platform side, Cowork graduated from preview to general availability on desktop with persistent mobile threads, scheduled task execution, and a plugin marketplace; admins gained role-based access controls and the Analytics API to govern deployments at scale. The expansion reached into productivity suites via new PowerPoint integration and improved Excel-PowerPoint context sharing, and down to mobile with interactive visualizations rendering natively in the iOS and Android apps.
