00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,880
Claude Agent SDK was sizzle number one but I have another sizzle lined up for you and it's to show

2
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:16,079
you CoWork. CoWork is another product by Claude, by Anthropic, and it is basically taking Claude

3
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:23,760
code and that whole agentic experience that we tech people get to have and offering it to business

4
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:29,120
people or to anyone that wants to use Claude Code's magic for things other than coding.

5
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:34,959
That's what CoWork is about Claude CoWork and I want to show it to you now and this is still

6
00:00:34,959 --> 00:00:39,919
like an early release of it in research preview and maybe by the time you're seeing this it's

7
00:00:39,919 --> 00:00:44,240
already gone through a few iterations so you might be more familiar with it but let's do a

8
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:50,240
quick sizzle let's have a look at it. You start by going to claude.com slash product slash CoWork

9
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:57,200
link in the resources and then you download Claude to install it on your Mac or Windows box

10
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:01,680
and I'll see you when you have it installed. And of course this is just the usual Claude desktop

11
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:06,480
app which you may already have if you don't then the first time you open it will look like this

12
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:11,360
Claude for Mac for me and maybe Claude for Mac for you maybe Claude for Windows. Fastest way to

13
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:17,040
talk with Claude I'm going to press get started it's going to want me to log in I'm going to come

14
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:25,199
in here I'm going to continue with Google that's my Google account continue and then back we come

15
00:01:25,199 --> 00:01:32,800
and we're signed on the usual OAuth flow and then I will just say it's giving me the

16
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:38,080
instructions that allow me to have shortcut keys and here we are in something that looks very

17
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:44,800
similar to the web interface and is in fact of course the desktop app we are on chat which is

18
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:49,199
the normal way that you might chat with Claude like Claude.ai but you'll see there are some other

19
00:01:49,199 --> 00:01:54,559
tabs here it's worth pointing out there is of course a code tab which looks I'll make this

20
00:01:54,559 --> 00:02:01,199
lesson bigger which looks very much like the one that was that was using Claude code on the web

21
00:02:01,199 --> 00:02:08,000
looked like and it is of course also going to be connecting to the managed service of Claude

22
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:16,399
on the web and then there is co-work the new tab in the middle let's knock something off your list

23
00:02:16,399 --> 00:02:23,199
setting up Claude's workspace so again what we're doing here is we are connecting to Claude

24
00:02:23,199 --> 00:02:29,839
running on the cloud for it to do a task for us and you can see that that it's got some some

25
00:02:29,839 --> 00:02:36,160
things that it can do like optimize my week organize my screenshots it's the the sorts of

26
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:42,160
things that it's good at doing it's like Claude codes kind of to-do lists and abilities but

27
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:48,479
applied to everyday kinds of tasks so the sorts of things that co-work can do is stuff like

28
00:02:48,479 --> 00:02:56,000
reorganizing files like it can look at images it can do stuff it's also got the ability to have

29
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:01,360
plugins customized with plugins and you can see from the way this is organized the anthropic

30
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:06,559
official plugins and so on there's like plug-in marketplaces it's all a very nice mirror from

31
00:03:06,559 --> 00:03:11,119
what we used to with Claude code and this has stuff like like looking digging through data

32
00:03:11,119 --> 00:03:15,679
looking at finance stuff legal things like contract review we know a tool that can that

33
00:03:15,679 --> 00:03:21,199
can build legal documents uh nda triage uh so there's lots of useful things in here let's go

34
00:03:21,199 --> 00:03:27,119
for something that might be useful for me right now okay so i'm going to click on this button

35
00:03:27,119 --> 00:03:32,479
work in a folder right here and i'm going to go to my desktop and there's a folder called receipts

36
00:03:32,479 --> 00:03:41,360
and i'm going to work in this folder allow it to change files in there and now um in the folder

37
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:53,440
that i've shared with you there are a bunch of receipts they are all pdfs of images

38
00:03:54,160 --> 00:04:08,080
please uh review these and make me an expenses report as an excel file expenses

39
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:15,759
dot xlsx and that's what we will do that would be handy there's like 12 of them in there

40
00:04:15,759 --> 00:04:21,440
it would like to access it we'll give it access to that and off it goes there's stuff happening

41
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:26,239
over here let me start by reading the excel skill and checking what receipts you have

42
00:04:26,959 --> 00:04:33,760
off it goes things are happening 12 pdf receipts let me read them all to extract the details

43
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:39,679
so we will let this happen look at all these things going on stuff happening there uh and uh

44
00:04:39,679 --> 00:04:44,399
it's going through and reading them at one at a time and i will see you in a minute when it's

45
00:04:44,399 --> 00:04:49,920
hopefully done well a lot happened there it chugged away it did lots of processing it had

46
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:54,480
some problems with the pdfs because it realized it needed to read them in like images and it did

47
00:04:54,480 --> 00:05:00,239
some stuff but it's just finished after i think about five or ten minutes of thinking and in my

48
00:05:00,239 --> 00:05:06,959
receipts folder a new file has appeared called expenses dot xlsx and if i launch that this thing

49
00:05:06,959 --> 00:05:14,399
comes up and sure enough it has like it's a nicely formatted expenses report with 1212 receipts in

50
00:05:14,399 --> 00:05:20,000
there and with all of these different bits of visual audio equipment and subscriptions and then

51
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:26,559
with a total and a total amount and it all seems to be good uh and so yes that is something that

52
00:05:26,559 --> 00:05:31,839
that uh i might have had to have done myself it's from the past so i did that myself and so i know

53
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:39,440
that it's painful and this is an example of the kind of task that is quite easy for co-work so

54
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:45,519
there you have it this is taking the claude code that we know and that is so helpful for us

55
00:05:45,519 --> 00:05:51,920
as engineers and allowing people to use it for everyday tasks like making expenses spreadsheets
