[00:00:00]What it is is Claude will take over your computer and do work on your computer while you step away. On your Claude desktop, so it's a separate app you have to install on your desktop, open up and you'll see co-work. And here's a tip, make sure you toggle on computer use in your settings cuz it needs that to be able to do things on your computer. Then you just describe any tasks you need to be done and the steps that it requires and Claude breaks it down and executes step by step. So, for example, you could say, "Pull last month's sales numbers from HubSpot, drop them into Google Sheet, build a summary chart, and post on the team Slack channel before Monday 9:00 a.m." And it'll take over control of my computer to do it all. It's like Claude's hands doing the work for you.

[00:00:39]Hack number 11, schedule tasks. This is one I use every day because there's things that I do every day that I just want somebody else to do for me and it's Claude. So, it's within co-work, just type {forward slash} schedule and then it'll allow you to schedule whatever you just typed. Things that used to be done by my chief of staff that honestly she doesn't have to do, I'll just set it up, schedule it, and nobody has to worry about it. It does that at the same time every day as long as my computer is open. So, every morning Claude can read your inbox, it can send you a summary, it can figure out what's urgent, it can tell you what's new in the world, it can essentially do everything that you're probably doing every time you sit down at your computer anyway.
