Yesterday Notion launched agents for working alongside human teams, and today Anthropic did the same. They updated the Claude Cowork platform and added Agentic Plugins — a set of 11 ready-made templates for building corporate AI agents.
What was added:
— Ready-made scenarios: Templates designed for specific departments (HR, sales, finance, design) that already contain the necessary instructions and access permissions for work tasks.
— No-code setup: Business users can adapt agents to their processes independently, without involving IT specialists.
— Local operation: Agents integrate through the desktop app, allowing data processing within the company perimeter and reducing leak risks.
The update is aimed at letting businesses deploy autonomous agents immediately, without spending time writing complex prompts and setting up the environment from scratch.
