What Claude Cowork does well
Claude is Anthropic's AI assistant, and Cowork is its agent mode. The pricing page now says "Claude Cowork is now just Claude."
Before you choose: Cowork is "available to paid Claude plans (Pro, Max, Team, Enterprise) only." For local files, browser use and computer use, Anthropic says you need "The Claude Desktop app for macOS or Windows, open and connected." Anthropic is also candid that its prompt injection safeguards "cannot eliminate" the risk. Phone calls are not mentioned on its pages.
What Dooza Crew does
Dooza Crew is built for the daily work of a small business. You type the job in plain words. Your master agent creates the AI employees the job needs and gives each one its own computer, a real browser, a phone number and a card for purchases you approve.
