Power through tedious tasks Every Monday morning, build last week's marketing readout. Pull web views and signups from Amplitude, and the newsletter, social, and webinar numbers from Marketing/Channel-tracker in Drive. Compare everything to the week before. Slide one: company name and the week. Slide two: awareness metrics with anything that moved more than 10% flagged. Slide three: consideration metrics, same flags. Note any trend worth watching and anything you couldn't pull. Save to Marketing/Weekly in Drive. Schedule recurring reports, ready for review Schedule a report once and get it daily, weekly, or monthly. Claude pulls the numbers, compares them to the period before, and builds the deck, so Monday starts with the readout instead of the assembly.

Analyze every objection you’ve heard this quarter, in one place Hand off the read-back.

Claude works in the files and tools you choose and completes multi-step tasks from start to finish. You define the goal. Claude figures out how to get there. What’s the difference between Claude Cowork and Chat? In regular chat, Claude responds to your messages but can't access your files directly. In Cowork, Claude has permission to read, edit, and create files in folders you specify—so it can actually complete tasks rather than just describe how to do them. What's the difference between Claude Cowork and Claude Code? Claude Code is built for software engineering — writing, debugging, and shipping code. It's available as a terminal tool, desktop app, web interface, and mobile app, with integrations for GitHub and popular IDEs like VS Code and JetBrains. Cowork is built for non-coding knowledge work — research, analysis, document creation, and other multi-step tasks. It uses the same agentic approach as Claude Code. Can I assign tasks to Claude from my phone? Yes. Start a task from your phone, and Claude keeps working in the cloud even when your laptop is closed. Check in, redirect, or review the result from anywhere. Available in Pro, Max, and Team plans automatically. Enterprise plans can opt in. What does computer use mean? Computer use lets Claude interact directly with your screen to open apps, navigate your browser, or run tools. Claude reaches for your connectors and integrations first, falls back to your browser when needed, and only uses your screen as a last resort. This matters because using a direct integration is faster and more precise than navigating through the screen. When Claude does interact with your screen, it is designed to ask permission before accessing each application. You can see what it's doing and can stop it at any step. Computer use is in research preview for both Cowork and Claude Code. What kind of files can Claude Cowork read, create, edit, and analyze? Cowork can understand the following file types: Documents and text: Word documents (.docx, .doc), PDF files (.pdf), Plain text (.txt), Markdown (.md), HTML (.html), JSON (.json), CSV (.csv), TSV (.tsv) Spreadsheets: Excel files (.xlsx, .xls, .xlsm) Presentations: PowerPoint files (.pptx, .ppt) Images: Common formats like .png, .jpg, .jpeg, .gif, .svg, .webp Data and config: YAML (.yaml, .yml), XML (.xml), TOML (.toml) Notebooks: Jupyter notebooks (.ipynb) Code files: Pretty much any programming language: Python (.py), JavaScript (.js), TypeScript (.ts), React (.jsx, .tsx), Java, C/C++, Go, Rust, Ruby, PHP, SQL, shell scripts, etc. You can also use Connectors to view additional files. Does Claude Cowork use more of my rate limit? Yes, agentic tasks consume more capacity than regular chat. Claude coordinates multiple sub-agents and tool calls to complete complex work. Can admins control Claude Cowork access? Yes. Admins can toggle Claude Cowork off for their organization anytime in Admin Settings (opens in new tab) . Manage Cowork access across teams with role-based access controls. Do I need the desktop app? No. Cowork runs on web and mobile. The desktop app adds what web and mobile can't reach: the folders and applications on your own computer. If that's where your work lives, start there.
