Claude scheduled tasks in the cloud
Scheduled tasks in the Claude app (claude.ai, formerly Claude Cowork), which run in the cloud on Anthropic's servers and reach outside services through the connectors the person has added. This describes a kind of platform, not anyone's account. Checked against Anthropic's documentation on 22 October 2026.
- Off for up to
- no time: it is always on
Scheduled tasks run remotely, on their cadence even when the computer is asleep or the desktop app is closed. A task that needs local files or apps runs on the computer instead: describe that as Claude Code on a laptop. https://support.claude.com/en/articles/13854387-schedule-recurring-tasks-in-claude-cowork https://support.claude.com/en/articles/14479288-claude-cowork-architecture-overview
- Runs steps as
- an AI agent
Each run is its own Claude session that carries out the saved instructions. https://support.claude.com/en/articles/13854387-schedule-recurring-tasks-in-claude-cowork
- AI from
- anthropic
Claude's own agent. In the cloud, the agent loop and code execution run on Anthropic's servers. https://support.claude.com/en/articles/14479288-claude-cowork-architecture-overview
- Can call
- none
Code runs in a sandbox whose traffic leaves only through a proxy to allow-listed destinations. By default that is approved package sources on Pro and Max, package managers only on Team, and nothing on Enterprise, so the workflow's own code cannot call a model company. Widening network egress to a model API's domain, or to all domains, makes that company reachable: list it here then. https://support.claude.com/en/articles/12111783-create-and-edit-files-with-claude https://support.claude.com/en/articles/14479288-claude-cowork-architecture-overview
- Holds
- nothing
It holds no folder. Each cloud session gets a fresh sandbox that is destroyed when it ends, and works with the files saved to the Claude account and with connectors, such as Google Drive, which a workflow draws as connectors rather than as contexts kept here. https://support.claude.com/en/articles/14479288-claude-cowork-architecture-overview https://support.claude.com/en/articles/13854387-schedule-recurring-tasks-in-claude-cowork
