Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Claude cowork is here. And if you understand how to use it, you're going to be able to outperform 99% of people on this planet. It is an easy way for you to use Claude code.
Chapter 2: What are the key features of Claude Cowork?
You might've heard of Claude code. It's gone viral, but the problem is it feels technical.
Chapter 3: How can Claude Cowork organize files and manage receipts?
You have to go into the terminal. And it's not fun for a lot of beginners. So Claude has come up with Cowork. And it's a brand new product that harnesses the power of Claude code in a UI that is simple, that anyone could use, that your dad can use, your mom could use. Hey, even you can use.
Chapter 4: What are the capabilities of Claude Cowork with Google Sheets?
So in this episode, I brought on Boris, the maker of this product. I'm so excited that he shows you the best practices for how to use Cowork. Claude Cowork, and at the end, how he sets up his Claude code to get the most out of it. You're gonna love this episode. We are lucky, we've got Boris, he's the creator of Cloud Code and I would say the co-creator of Cloud Cowork today.
And today what I want to get accomplished is everyone's talking about Cowork and I want to best understand what are the use cases, how can we get started, what are some non-obvious ways I can use it. So Boris, thank you so much for coming on the show and I have one question for you. By the end of this episode, what are people going to get out of it?
Ooh, I think people are going to start to get some more ideas for how to use CodeWork. And hopefully, they're going to tweet about it. And maybe they'll even reach out to me so I could learn how they want to use CodeWork. It's funny.
Chapter 5: How can users effectively start using Claude Cowork?
I feel like Cloud Code, from the beginning, it was sort of built to be, it wasn't actually built to be a product at all. But when we first started thinking about it as a product, we thought that the thing people would use it for is coding.
Chapter 6: What future developments can we expect from AI and agents?
But we've learned very quickly that people didn't just use it for coding. They used it for like all sorts of stuff. So I kind of feel the journey of quad code has been very surprising. And I have been learning so much just watching how people use the product and how they abuse it and kind of like what they actually want to use it for.
Chapter 7: How does Boris set up his Claude Code for maximum efficiency?
And even if it's not designed for that. So I kind of feel the same way about coworking. You know, I have some ideas about what people are going to use it for. I kind of view these as hypotheses. And so, you know, happy to talk about it. Happy to maybe I'll do a quick demo to show you kind of some of the some of the things that we use it for. But I think that it's going to be pretty surprising.
And I hope that I will be surprised when we see how people actually use it in the wild.
Yeah, I think that's always the case with with platforms, especially if you think about it, like when when the makers of the app store created the app store, you know, the initial apps was like, you know, a beer drinking app and like a bunch of random apps like that. Did they know that Uber was going to come out of that? DoorDash was going to come out of that?
TikTok was going to come out of that? Probably not.
Chapter 8: What is the significance of the pronunciation discussion around 'Claude'?
So I think that what's really cool about the phase that we are in right now with Cloud Code and also Cloud Cowork is we're all figuring it out at the same time. And none of us, including the creator, have all the answers. But I agree with you. It's a good time to be sharing what's working, what's not working. And if you're open to it, let's screen share and get our hands dirty.
So what are we looking at right now, Boris?
Yeah, so this is the Cloud desktop app. So you just download it. CodeWork is only available for Mac OS. Windows coming soon. There's a few different tabs in the desktop app. So there's the chat. That's the default. There's CodeWork. That's the new one. And then there's code. And that's just Cloud code. Um, cowork under the hood, it's actually just quad code.
And so, you know, the agent that makes quad code awesome, we call it the quad agent. It's also available as the quad agent SDK. So you can use it programmatically. You can, you know, all sorts of companies build all sorts of cool things on top of it. We actually use that same exact SDK directly in cowork. Um, so it's like, you know, it's pretty cool. It's just kind of one way across everything.
We have the best agent, have the best agentic model, might as well use it. And so what I'll do is just to show how to use this thing. When I think about agentic AI, this word agentic has sort of lost all meaning because it's just used so much.
So I feel like probably a lot of listeners have heard the word agent, but they don't actually know what it means or they think it's some cool AI or something. But it actually has a very specific meaning in the AI world, which I think has kind of been lost because a lot of the products that people have released and called agentic in the past are not actually agentic.
And so when you think about the AI products that everyone's used, like obviously Quad Code, chat-based apps where you just chat with the app back and forth, send some messages, the biggest difference with Agents is it can take action. And, you know, it's not just text and it's not just like web searching, but it can actually use tools on your computer. It can interact with the world.
And so for Anthropic from the very beginning, since before our models were good, like before like, you know, like Cloud 3 or whatever, this is a thing that we wanted to get really good at because we felt that it's very important. And so from the start, we wanted our models to be really great at coding and then really great at tool use and then really great at computer use.
So it's kind of cool, like, you know, the last year, seeing how people have been hacking quad code, it's pretty obvious this is kind of the place that we should go. And so for people that have used quad code, you know, none of this will be, you know, like too surprising. These are actually things that you can do.
