@claudeai How to set up Claude Cowork the right way (so it actually does your work while you step away)

article summary in 4k light and dark mode

full article:

Cowork is at its best on work that’s too big for a chat: research across dozens of accounts, recurring reports, triaging my inbox and drafting replies.

If you’ve been curious, this is a good month to find out what it can take off your plate. Can’t wait to see what you do.

@claudeai Nice but Cowork is a worse version of Claude Code in everyway...

@claudeai We want double limits for Code, not cowork!

@claudeai This is great news for the 47 users that use Claude Cowork

@claudeai Thank you. I just used Cowork to create this video:

@bcherny Confusing wording: does this mean that the 5hr limit is doubled and weekly one untouched? Meaning you still have the same amount of usage overall for your subscription?

@claudeai @hasanfr_0rg I always love using Claude Cowork, it’s very helpful.

@claudeai Woaaah only cowork? Like chat no? Would be better if it was a general ×2

@claudeai Your biggest users slice are the users in Claude Code, do you hate us? why we cannot have compensations like that for the weekend?

@claudeai best use case: - tree -L -2 -> infer relationships through filenames to cluster -propose cluster_ids - group files to cluster IDs or - do the packing_and_tagging for your project once - capture as skill - update the userFormFillRequest and execute many more times (readmes)

@claudeai I just cancelled my Max subscription. I wouldnt use it eve if it were for free.

It reached a point, where Opus 4.8 now is so dumb, its nothing more than a risk, to have this thing on your computer.

Also, the trust is gone too, who knows what kinda data Claude was sending home.

@claudeai Me: thinking about my own project Claude Code: We’ve doubled usage limits

If God doesn’t exist, then what is this?

@bcherny Thank you sir

@Layton_Gott @IAM_KOPR8 @claudeai the funniest part of this is that not even claude agrees with you, you're just an asshole

@bcherny Double limits in Claude Code when? 👀

@claudeai You’re going to have to do a lot more than that after the disaster that 4.7, 4.8 and everything completely being broken for a month has been. I’m literally using GROK to code because it’s more reliable than Claude now… 🤦🏻‍♀️

@Layton_Gott @claudeai They do completely different things
