Agentic Architecture
TL;DR
The execution model that distinguishes Cowork from standard Claude Chat.
Definition
The execution model that distinguishes Cowork from standard Claude Chat. Rather than a prompt-response cycle where you ask a question and get an answer, Cowork operates as an autonomous agent that plans, decomposes, and executes multi-step tasks on your behalf. You describe the desired outcome; Claude determines the steps.
Exam Context
Questions test whether you can identify when agentic architecture is the correct choice versus conversational chat. Look for scenarios involving file manipulation, batch processing, or multi-step workflows.
