Regular price
$5.00 USD
THE DEFINITIVE GUIDE TO CLAUDE COWORK — NOW FULLY UPDATED FOR DISPATCH, COMPUTER USE, PLUGINS, AND EVERYTHING ANTHROPIC HAS SHIPPED SINCE LAUNCH.
Claude Cowork launched in January 2026 and changed what's possible for knowledge workers. Delegate real tasks to AI: organising files, creating documents, extracting data from receipts, conducting research — all without writing a single line of code.
This handbook was the first comprehensive guide to Cowork. This second edition brings it fully up to date with a product that has moved fast. Since launch, Anthropic has shipped Windows support, a plugin marketplace, scheduled tasks, Dispatch, and Computer Use. The handbook has been updated throughout and expanded to 28,000 words across 20 chapters to cover all of it.
What's new in this edition
Four new chapters cover the capabilities that have arrived since launch: Plugins, which give Cowork pre-built expertise for specific roles like finance, legal, and marketing; Scheduled Tasks, which let Cowork run recurring work automatically while you're away from your desk; Computer Use, which allows Cowork to operate your applications and websites directly when no formal integration exists; and Dispatch, which lets you assign tasks from your phone and come back to finished work.
What the book covers
Getting Started — what Cowork actually is, how it differs from regular Claude chat, the permission model explained, setting up your environment on Mac or Windows.
Core Capabilities — file management, document creation, data extraction, and research synthesis. What Cowork does well, what it struggles with, and how to get the best results.
Power-User Workflows — connecting Gmail, Google Drive, Slack, Microsoft 365, and thirty-eight-plus other services. Plugins, scheduled tasks, multi-step workflows, browser integration, Computer Use, and Dispatch.
Safety and Best Practices — protecting your data while using powerful AI capabilities. The security considerations Anthropic mentions but doesn't fully explain. Decision frameworks for when to use Cowork versus doing it yourself.
No fluff, no filler — just clear, actionable knowledge.
