So, the Enthropic team is shipping like
no tomorrow. And they've just released
something called co-work. Now, if you
are a clawed code user like myself, this
changes nothing for you. What it does
offer is everyone else who hates
terminals with every fiber of their
being. It gives them an alternative to
get this gateway drug of what Claude
Code can do minus the terminal. So, it's
available right now to everyone on the
Claude Code Max plan. And the way it
works is typically you have the chat,
you have the code tab, and then you have
this brand new co-work tab. And the way
it works is they probably took the
greatest hits from the most common
non-technical, nonpure coding activities
and they made them all available here.
So you can see we have the ability to
create files, crunch data, make a
prototype, which is obviously going to
be a vibecoded artifact. You could send
messages and do things that normal to-do
list apps would do. So even more
startups now should be scared because as
claude code integrates itself into the
lifestyle, it basically creates a
purposeful layer of abstraction for
claude code for everyone that does not
want to hear the word code. It makes it
that much stickier of a product. So if
we take an example here and we click on
crunch data, it will pre-prompt for you.
So even this you have to just swap out
the topic. You can say work in a
specific folder. So in this case I can
pick a different folder. For me I
created one using cloud code where I
made a bunch of CSVs about world
demographics. So if I click on this and
I click on always allow and I can say
research and analyze all the files in
this folder. Okay. And then by default,
most of the functionalities will say ask
any clarifying questions and share a
plan on how you'll approach this. This
is primarily if you wanted to do
something like organize files on your
computer. Behind the scenes, you don't
want to just oneshot yolo it. So it goes
analyzes the files, comes up with a plan
for you, and then helps you execute said
plan. So in this case, if I click on
let's go, I'll just do opus 4.5 since
we're dealing with some data crunching.
And then if you didn't know what to
pick, it would tell you what would you
like me to dig into. Do you want
competitors, customer feedback, a data
set, how I spend my time? And this would
automatically plug into that variable we
had before. So it gives everyone this
template that you can use. And if you're
a power user, then go and use cloud
code. If you are mid to intermediate or
you want to dip your toes into what
cloud code could offer, this will give
you a little teaser. So, if we click on
let's go, it will go and interact with
our actual computer. And while this is
running, you could still use things like
connectors like the or adding and
reading and writing notes if you're on a
Mac or you could use natively the claude
and chrome in combination with this. So,
you could have cloud and chrome and then
claude on your computer working hand in
hand. And you can see it is now
analyzing those 10 CSV files. These are
the identified files. It's asking me
multiple choice question which is
interesting because if you were to use
cloud code there's this function called
ask user input tool where when you make
a plan now it always comes up with this
multiple choice of what kind of app do
you want to build how do you want to
build it so it's the exact same teaser
experience right here where if I can
click on let's say visual dashboard and
then I say what output format let's say
interactive HTML and then how deep
should the analysis go I'll just say
highle overview and this will take all
of that the exact same way claude code
would and it will come up with the
approach and then we should be able to
say yep yes go for it and then from
there it should be able to execute the
request so in under a few seconds it
created the 11 steps it went through all
the files it read through them and then
it's creating and updating a to-do list
and then you could see at the side here
this is the progress in real time so
instead of having to watch it the
oldfashioned way on the to-do list in
cloud code. It can go step by step and
then now it's generating the HTML
dashboard for all the different CSVs and
after 5 minutes you can see that all the
progress is done here. It's done things
like implementing interactivity and
styling and verifying that the dashboard
actually renders. This is the resulting
artifact. So in cloud code this would
just be a file in your folder and then
you can see all the context of the
result. You can click on here open in
Google Chrome. This should open up right
here. And you can take a look the world
population data. You have Africa. You
have South America. Not sure if the
filter is working. And I'm actually
happy about that cuz I want to see if we
can leverage the Chrome connector. So if
I go on here and we make sure that
Claude and Chrome is working, I'll be
like this. Okay. So can you go onto the
Chrome browser using the cloud and
chrome connector and try to interact
with the dashboard because I noticed
that when I use the filter and actually
change the filter nothing actually
happens. So take on the role of an
actual user take that user persona then
go and interact look at the dashboard
see what's working see what's not
working and then iterate accordingly. So
now we have that exact same experience
that you'd have on cloud code where you
use something like playwright or using
the Chrome extension for cloud to go and
open the browser. Typically you'd have
to say the words local host and then go
and review it. So in this case you don't
have to say the word local host. It can
do it for you. And all we have to do is
click on always allow actions on this
site and then it will see that maybe it
didn't load it correctly. So if we go
back here, watch the playbyplay, you
could see the that it's navigating. It's
using the computer. It's going to run
the command again. Then it will loop in
circles. I won't make you sit through
this. And we'll jump to the final part.
So it's good that this happened cuz I
wanted to show you. It overengineered
trying to make this work. So first it
tried to spin up this HTML file, which
it could literally just doubleclick and
open in any browser, but it didn't. it
went to actually run localhost the way
you would on cloud code and then when
you when you navigate it just wasn't
working no matter what. So then it went
to the length of going to a free HTML
website to load the HTML file into that
website to then render it. So it's like
loading a web page within a web page
within a web page for no reason. So use
this thing called code pen and it still
wasn't working. So I interrupted it and
I just very sassly said, "You don't need
to do this. Just load the HTML in any
browser and audit it." So then it
apparently has found the issue I was
referring to anyway without having to
open it and then opens it on these
lines. Now again, this is brand new,
just released a few hours ago. So I'm
sure as it's wildly released, all these
little bugs will get resolved. Right now
it's just editing the dashboard. Fingers
crossed. It's just straightforward. This
is the updated progress, the updated
artifacts. And while this is running,
again, the core thing here is if you are
a consultant, if you are someone who's
on a team where you're the developer,
you're trying to disseminate the power
of cloud code, this is a good entry
point. So now, apparently it has fixed
it. So if we go over and we investigate
it and I refresh this HTML and I click
on Asia, do we get some updates? Looks
like we are. If I do North America,
looks like we're getting some updates
here. Is it the most perfect beautiful
dashboard in the world? No. But we did
oneshot it with a very basic prompt. So
that's one small taste on the crunch
data side. Obviously, we can vibe code.
This is not going to be groundbreaking.
If we do something like organize files,
we can say let's say my downloads
folder. And I'm going to say organize to
the best of your ability. You know, you
could actually just plug in this little
button and it will auto inject it there.
And I don't need Opus for this. It's
like bringing a nuclear bomb to a
gunfight, which is unnecessary. So, this
will go through the folder. And again,
it will come up with the plan because in
their auto prompts, it always tells you
what the plan is. So, now it's creating
a markdown file called plan. And I'm not
sure if it will pop up in the artifacts,
but this is what would happen in normal
cloud code. And after I created the
organization file right here, which you
could see this is the markdown file. You
can click and reveal the preview. So if
I just drag this over if I can. All
right. A little bug there. But you can
see breaks down all the plan. And once
we're done there, it gives you the full
plan of how many audio recordings there
are, different active projects,
everything involved in there that it
could organize. It tells you exactly how
it should organize them. And then if
you're happy with it, does this folder
structure work for you? Should I proceed
with modifications? So it acts as your
turnkey wizard. So once we're good and
we are good from there, what we can do
is go and do something like send a
message, help me write a message about,
let's say, email reply and then it will
autofill it for you as well. And that's
really it. This is really the whole
point of this is to structure it in a
way where this is as least intimidating
as possible and gives people the taste
of cloud code without throwing them into
the deep end downloading a terminal and
having to figure it out from there. So,
is this worth upgrading to Max for?
Absolutely not. But by the time this
comes out to everyone, it will be just
one more upgrade, one new rung on that
ladder where you go from chat to
co-work. And once you're happy with that
and you really want more firepower, then
you go to this beautiful tab and enter
the world of cloud

In this hands-on walkthrough, I break down exactly what Cowork is, who it's for, and whether it's worth your attention. Available right now for Claude Max plan users, Cowork sits as a new tab alongside Chat and Code, offering a curated set of non-coding superpowers: crunch data, make prototypes, organize files, and send messages - all without touching a command line. I demo the data analysis feature by having it analyze 10 CSV files about world demographics and build an interactive HTML dashboard in minutes. Then I push it further by connecting Claude and Chrome to debug the dashboard in real-time. If you've been curious about Claude Code but intimidated by terminals, this is your gateway drug. ā³ TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 ā Intro: What is Cowork and who is it for 00:30 ā How Cowork works (Chat, Code, Cowork tabs) 01:00 ā Crunch Data: Analyzing world demographics CSVs 02:00 ā The clarifying questions and planning approach 03:00 ā Real-time progress tracking and to-do list 04:00 ā The resulting HTML dashboard artifact 05:00 ā Using Claude and Chrome connector to debug 06:00 ā When AI over-engineers (CodePen rabbit hole) 07:00 ā The fix and final working dashboard 08:00 ā Organize Files: Automated folder organization 09:00 ā Send a Message & Final thoughts #ClaudeAI #Cowork #ClaudeCode #Anthropic #AIAutomation #NoCode #AITools #ClaudeMax #DataAnalysis #AIProductivity #AIForEveryone #ClaudeCowork #AIAssistant #Terminal #TechReview
