What is 'asynchronous work'?

The Cowork feature allows tasks to continue in the background and run even when your device is offline. This is a great example of 'asynchronous work', where tasks don't need immediate, real-time attention from the user or their device. It boosts productivity by letting you set things in motion and then focus on other tasks, checking back when convenient.
