If you want to go try it out, there's a link in the description to AIbox.ai.

I'd love to hear what you think about it.

Let's get into the episode.

So earlier this month, Anthropic, they released the new cowork.

Basically, this is a new agent kind of tool that gives a lot of the core capabilities of their cloud code assistant that I think, you know, a lot of developers are very famously in love with.

I over here at AI box, my startup, we use cloud code a ton.

Not myself.

I'm not a developer, but

our developers, this is basically what we run everything on.

So they've released essentially something like cloud code, but for the general population, the general public that is not developers.

So they've built a sort of more general purpose product.

And they're calling this co work.

So right now, they have just expanded co work with a bunch of new features that are aimed at

I think a lot of enterprise users specifically, and that was kind of where they were initially going with that.

But now they've also added plugins.

So plugins are basically designed to automate specialized tasks for a bunch of different departments inside of your company.

So that could mean writing marketing copy, reviewing legal documents for risk if you're generating customer support responses.

Every single plugin applies a Gentic automation to a specific workflow, which basically lets your team streamline any sort of repeatable work that you do and do it really consistently, which is really cool.

So according to Anthropic, plugins let organizations define how work should be done, which tools and data sources Cloud should use, and then also how critical workflows are handled.

Matt Piccoletta, who is a member of Anthropic's product team, was talking about all of this and said that plugins are basically intentionally built to be customizable.
