Claude Cowork

“Like for the first time you can actually get one shot data analysis, right? Which, you know, if you're going to do a customer database, analyze a cohort retention, right? That's just stuff that you had to do by hand before. And our team, the other, it was like…”

“The way I'm using it is I have co-work running, and I'm telling co-work, here's where I normally go every morning to find the latest bugs. Go read the entire bug list, separate out which ones are fixable, which ones are not fixable, and then for the fixable on…”

“Basically, I think like the way that people ease into cloud co-work is like take a knowledge work task that you would normally be clicking around for, and then try to turn, turn that. And then you do the, okay, well, what if you went further? Okay. And then wh…”

“I've given it like pretty clear instructions about, okay, here are some people, if they book over other meetings, I'm probably going to go to their meeting. Like if Dario schedules a meeting. Not try to reschedule Dario.”

“I've been using it a lot, even for managing latent space, like co-work helps me upload videos and like title things and like edits and everything.”

“We're going to keep shipping things that we're going to keep shipping things that we're going to keep iterating on this thing like pretty quickly, but which I mean, you can sort of continue to expect that every single week, there's going to be like a small new…”

“I caught myself, like, starting to use Cowork for coding tasks, which is not ostensibly what we built it for, right?”

“Every single person who's like most amazed is usually amazed about a thing that I didn't even expect Cowork would be good at.”

“Will those gaps still exist in the next few generations of models? It's like a little unclear to me though. Because right now these like hyper optimizations we make, I'm not sure for how long they're still really relevant.”

“It's like a little bit like playing Factorio, but for your own life. Like you say, you start really small, you start automating something really tiny. And like, once it clicks, you keep adding onto this like automation empire, just like make your life easier a…”

“And what cowork actually became is like, we sort of picked the right pieces out of the many prototypes that we had. Right. And that's maybe also like, I think an important qualifier whenever people mention this like 10 day number, I do think it's important to …”

“So on, on macOS, we use the Apple virtualization framework, which is pretty solidly optimized. Like it's good stuff.”

“Right when we launched Cowork, I think one of the users that went most viral on Twitter X was clean up your desktop, which is of course silly. That's such a smart thing, right? Like you don't need a model to clean up your desktop.”

“Cowork is cloud code running in a virtual machine with a little bit of padding, a little bit more guardrails, making it a little safer, a little bit more convenient for people who don't want to first open up the terminal when they go to work.”

“My personal belief is that the hackability and the extendability has like played a pretty big role, right? You can hook in Visual Studio Code to like almost any workload. It's so easy to hack on, so easy to build extensions for it. And I think cold work might …”

“So like clock code is like quite optimized for coding tasks, and we mostly evaluate whether or not we're getting better or worse, depending on how good it is at like a typical sweet job. And cloud co-work on the other hand, we evaluate more against typical kno…”

“We do tell co-work to make heavy use of the planning tool or to make heavy use of the ask user question tool, right? We do want it to come up with like, Different scenarios of, okay, tease out what the user actually wants. Don't go off to work for like four ho…”

“We could do a second cursor, but that actually breaks down quite a bit. Even if you go and like present cool dreams to both Apple and Microsoft, you're like, wouldn't it be cool if it breaks down quite a bit because so many of our models on a computer are buil…”

“We do have skills as part of this container format, which was just called plugins. And plugins are available both for Cloud Code and Cloud Cowork, the same format. And you can install plugins. This works in Cowork today. You can basically say, I'm going to add…”

“One thing that is very fun for me about skills in particular is that they're so easy to make. Like anyone can make a skill, like a text message could be a skill and they can be so hyper-personalized to you.”
