What’s new: Anthropic has introduced plugin support for Claude Cowork, intended to let teams tailor agent workflows to specific roles and business functions.
Plugin support (what was reported)
Reworked reported that Cowork plugin support launched Jan. 30, with 11 open-source plugins at launch, and that plugins can bundle connectors, slash commands and sub-agents to customize workflows.
Market reaction (what Reuters reported)
Reuters reported a broad selloff in some data analytics, professional services and software names, with some investors attributing the move to concerns that Anthropic’s updated tools could automate tasks in areas like legal, marketing and data analysis.
What to watch
- How quickly agentic tooling moves from previews to reliable, audited production workflows.
- Whether incumbents respond with differentiated data, workflows, or pricing models to defend margins.
