I've heard a lot of essentially that same sentiment from people using similar tools.

So this isn't surprising to me.

Something that I think makes this particularly powerful is the more that a company is going to use these plugins, the more Claude can learn about the company's workflows and then how to actually optimize it.

So it's learning as you're doing this and helping you optimize your company.

Right now, the plugins are saved locally on your computer, but the company said that any company in the future can have kind of organization-wide sharing tools, and that's going to be coming soon.

So that'll be something that they roll out.

Colwork right now launched about two weeks ago, and I think it's still in kind of this research preview.

Anthropic hasn't really said when it's going to be more broadly available, but plugins are currently accessible to all Payne Cloud customers, which I think is fantastic.

So those are the cool features and the cool stuff that Claude has been and Anthropic has been rolling out.

Separately, on another note, I want to talk a little bit about some of the legal challenges that Anthropic has been facing this week.

So there is a group of music publishers.

This is all led by Concord Music Group and also Universal Music Group.

Like Universal Music Group seems to be the one filing most of these lawsuits.

They've done it against basically all of the major AI companies.

And in this particular lawsuit, they are essentially alleging that Anthropic illegally downloaded more than 20,000 copyrighted works, including sheet music, lyrics, and musical compositions.

Now, what's interesting to me is, you know, Anthropic isn't a company that has a music generation model.

It's not like Yudio or Suno.

And what's interesting is that Universal Music Group, you know, I think they're not going to go after them for, look, you downloaded all of the music in the whole world, because, I mean, I'm assuming they haven't if this isn't what they're going after them for.

But what they can go after them for, since it seems like they just want to launch lawsuits against anyone, is downloading, you know, like sheet music or lyrics.

And it's like, well, it's copyrighted.
