Claude Cowork: Automate 99% of Your Life (New Meta)

Click co-work is the next evolution of how we use claude and they just released the brand new projects feature that changes everything. And this update

changes everything. And this update solves the [music] biggest problem that was quietly holding you back. And in

this video, I'll show you exactly what Claude Co-work projects are and how to use them to build a personal operating system that will save you time, [music] attention, and help you make more money so you can get light years ahead of your

competitors. And if you don't know who I

competitors. And if you don't know who I am, my name is Jack Roberts. I built and sold my last tech startup with over 60,000 customers and now I teach thousand entrepreneurs [music] and my own AI businesses. So if you

haven't already, grab that coffee and let's dive straight in. Cloud Co-work is your AI co-pilot. It's something that you use to become incredibly productive and automate tasks within your business.

Now the actual cloud co-work has just had a brand new update and it solves a huge problem that I haven't seen many people talking about. Now, the big issue

is that when you speak to any AI, it is what we would call a disposable thread.

What do I mean by that? Well, you speak to it, but then the next time you come back, it loses context because it has a finite context window. And the second that context window is done, you're

always always always repeating yourself and it just it's frustrating and it wastes so much time. But now Claude actually gets smarter the more that you use it. And it went from claude called

use it. And it went from claude called coowork just a tool that you use to a workspace that actually knows you and feels like it actually knows you in your business. And it solves this by solving

business. And it solves this by solving what we would call the continuity problem. And that is all done within

problem. And that is all done within claw projects. So essentially the more

claw projects. So essentially the more we use it has context and knows everything the projects working in. I'm

going to show you exactly what they are and how to set them up so you can turn core projects into your own personal operating system. And if you don't

operating system. And if you don't understand what a core project actually is, none of this is going to mean anything to you. I may as well be speaking Chinese. So, the best way to

speaking Chinese. So, the best way to think about Claude Project is this. It

gives Claude a persistent brain for each area of your business or your personal life. A persistent brain, something that

life. A persistent brain, something that is con basically continuous intelligence. And it gets better the

intelligence. And it gets better the more that we actually use it. Said

another way, there are four components of a project. We have instructions, your brand voice, your rules, and tone locked into every single task that we do. We've

got contacts. So, this is going to be your knowledge base. Folders, URLs,

linked chats. These are things that Claude can reference. Hey, yeah, you asked for an invoice 6 days ago. I know

exactly what you're talking about, Jack.

And it just does it. We have memory, which I think is the biggest, most important trend that everybody's sleeping on. Context, engineering, and

sleeping on. Context, engineering, and memory. Automatic scope per project.

memory. Automatic scope per project.

Your YouTube project doesn't know about invoicing, but actually, when you're building it in projects, it has full memory. And finally, schedule tasks. So,

memory. And finally, schedule tasks. So,

within here, we can even set up tasks that will run on a continuous basis. Let

me show you very briefly what that looks like in reality so you know where it is.

Well, as you know within the cold space, if I bring this down, you have three tabs, chat, co-work, and code. I'm also

going to explain to you the difference between co-work and code and when you might use which later on in this video, so you got full context. So the way that it works, you'll notice this new tab on the left hand side called projects. And

all you do on projects is you click a new project like so. And you'll have this full ability here. You can either use an existing folder. So if you've got a desktop folder with some information in it, you can bring that up and you can start from scratch. And to create a

project, you just give it some information. Jack's YouTube. And then I

information. Jack's YouTube. And then I might say context. So again, this is just a quick snippet in Collider. Let's

just add a lot of information in there.

And then you can add add files. So this

could be anything about your business, your contacts, etc., etc. And then you click on create. And effectively now what we have on the left hand side is this beautiful environment that organizes everything. Cuz you'll notice

organizes everything. Cuz you'll notice previously in the chat window, you'd have like 20 different chats and you're looking like where the hell is that chat that I was using? Now in projects everything is organized by the project

level. On the right hand side you have

level. On the right hand side you have instructions which essentially is the instructions for what you want it to do.

So if I click on business for example you can see here's what my instructions are. You my my tasks view when you're

are. You my my tasks view when you're doing various different things. And you

can set up scheduled tasks here and then you got the context and also the memory is activated. All of the outputs that

is activated. All of the outputs that are generated are stored in this beautiful UI here. And then you have all of the recent chats at the bottom. Now,

you can build a personal operating system that is so good, you'll literally like, "What was I doing before this thing even existed, but the biggest problem that everyone gets is they don't give it the right level of tools,

access, or skills, which will severely limit its potential." Now, we're going to build this personal OS in three super simple steps. The first step of which is

simple steps. The first step of which is connecting your world. And by connecting your world, all I'm really meaning here is that we're going to give it two different vectors. The first if you like

different vectors. The first if you like is going to be connectors which we can do very simply by clicking on this button here coming down to connectors and this this basically is everything that my claude has access to right

notion Google calendar clauding chrome drive search anything if I want to add new connectors I come down to manage connectors like so and you can see I've got everything here and I can do anything I want to if I want to add

further ones I can add custom connectors if it's not within the claude ecosystem and all you literally do is think of all your software stack this is 100% personalized to you. So, what I'd like

to do first task is go down and add all of the ones in their Canva. Let's add

that in as if for instance cuz we use Canva a lot, right? Let's come down, click on allow. Works beautifully. Now,

Claude can do various different activities for me in Canva. And you

basically keep on repeating this process back and forth, back and forth until you've added all the skills that you're going to be using on a regular basis.

And you can see I now have Canva enabled in my uh my base my cloud environment.

And you can see all of the different tools and accesses that we've given. Do

you want to give it the ability to upload assets from URL? You can you can specify all of this so you have full control. And then the second thing is

control. And then the second thing is skills above which are things that you can do on a repeatable basis.

Essentially, if you ever do anything more than once, you can create a skill to go ahead and do that for you, which is wonderful. So, I've got one for

is wonderful. So, I've got one for creating infographics, visuals, you name it, it does it. So, I have one here that will create for me all the infographics on the videos. Super straightforward and makes your life a million times easier.

So, for example, if I have a chat on my left hand side under business and create a new one, I can ask it to create an invoice for me. for instance, hey there dude, create an invoice for me for Glideo for $100,000

for Epic Consulting Services. All right,

whatever the thing is, and we send that one off. By the way, we have a brand new

one off. By the way, we have a brand new update for GLD drop in should be the day this video comes out actually. So, super

stoked to share that with you. We've

been working hard in the background on it, but it's very, very cool cuz uh it saves us some good time. Now, what's

cool here is it's referencing the skill, which is awesome, running it, which is fantastic. I think it'll just build that

fantastic. I think it'll just build that for me. So, here's a cool thing.

for me. So, here's a cool thing.

Invoices is something that you do all the time. I can just say, "Hey, do the

the time. I can just say, "Hey, do the thing for me." And it's got all the context and knows exactly how I want my invoices to look and it will do that for you straight away. As you can see, looks clean. Built me the invoice. It's got my

clean. Built me the invoice. It's got my profile photo at the top. Jar invoice

software development integration services. It's got the amount $100,000.

services. It's got the amount $100,000.

Then I can just download that. I could

even ask it if I wanted to to send it as a Gmail to somebody. And you you get the idea of how freaking cool this is. You

can invoice automatically. So the key thing is connect your world, add all the connectors and build the right integrations so you're ready to go. Now

we've given it these wonderful connections. We actually have to decide

connections. We actually have to decide what we're going to use this powerful technology for because great power without an actual outlet repurpose is essentially not worth the paper it's written on. Now, very quick little hack

written on. Now, very quick little hack I recommend you do is come over to chat and give it the following prompt. Based

on our entire conversation, if you had to create buckets for our topics, for projects within co-work, what would they be? And then just send that off and then

be? And then just send that off and then let Claude actually come back and give it you. It is unbelievably accurate.

it you. It is unbelievably accurate.

Now, Claude will give you about seven or eight different examples based on the conversations that you've had. Here are

a couple of really helpful decision-making horistics for you as well in terms of what actually is a project. You don't really want more than

project. You don't really want more than eight because it it starts to become a little bit um they're too broad. Then at

that point there's only so many you can manage. Ask yourself this. What do I

manage. Ask yourself this. What do I repeat every week? Same task manually.

Again, is it a project? So for me, for example, I might have a project for YouTube. And within that, I might have

YouTube. And within that, I might have things like packaging and titles and comments and strategy. I might have a project for my school community. For

example, this by the way, you know, it's something I built my school community.

This is an example of a software that we use to help people build a road map.

That is the opposite of copilot which is something that helps you do various different tasks as you go ahead. So I

might have a project for my school community instead right really cool. So

again think about it what would be your project. Second decision making heristic

project. Second decision making heristic is what do I keep reexplaining? What's

the stuff that I find myself saying to AI again and again? And then finally what has multiple moving parts files and emails and research outputs. You know

you basically you want a dedicated workspace for that. Now, having the connectors and the project ID is one thing, but if you don't configure your clawed projects properly, you're not going to have a personal operating

system anywhere near as effective or as powerful as it can actually be. And on

top of that, we've just also got to understand the difference between these three things so you have complete clarity cuz it can be really confusing.

And I'm talking about the things you need. Difference between a skill, a

need. Difference between a skill, a folder, and a toolbox. Okay. So, what

does that all mean in reality? Okay. So,

what are folders? Folders themselves,

okay, don't have memory. They don't have instructions and they don't have schedule tasks. They are basically file

schedule tasks. They are basically file access. Think of it as your simplest

access. Think of it as your simplest layers. Now, what does that mean in

layers. Now, what does that mean in reality? So, when you come over to cloud

reality? So, when you come over to cloud co-work and I want to create a new co-work on something, it will ask me, do I want to work on a project or what file do I want to physically go ahead and use? So, I might come down here and say,

use? So, I might come down here and say, I want to chat in, I don't know, let's choose a different folder, something in my desktop, for example. All folders are is just a it's just a folder on your

laptop, on your computer that has information. That is literally it.

information. That is literally it.

There's nothing more complicated to it than that. Secondarily, we have

than that. Secondarily, we have projects, which is everything that we're talking about today, right? So, in

projects, we have memory per the project. So, if I have a YouTube

project. So, if I have a YouTube project, it has all the memory, persistent memory. It has instructions

persistent memory. It has instructions about how I want it to behave. It lets

me schedule tasks. So, I could say, "Hey, go and scrape this and go and find out what the comments are saying and go and find out what's new for strategy."

It has organized history, so we can organize everything. And it also has

organize everything. And it also has file access. And finally, we've got

file access. And finally, we've got skills. So, skills are portable. They

skills. So, skills are portable. They

work everywhere. You have a skill.md

file that could be something like, hey, shorten this URL or hey, go and uh build me an invoice, whatever it is. And they

they basically trigger as and when they're relevant. So we would have

they're relevant. So we would have skills within projects and folders also exist within projects. So projects are just a nice crisp way to organize it. So

for us, for example, why don't we go ahead and build one of these projects together so you can see step by step just how effective it actually is. So

what I'm going to do is delete this one and we're going to build this one from scratch together. So we come down here

scratch together. So we come down here and archive it. Okay, wonderful. So

let's go ahead and do this. So I'm going to come down here. I can click on work in project. I can come on projects and

in project. I can come on projects and create a new project. So let's start from scratch. So we'll call this one

from scratch. So we'll call this one something like YouTube. All right,

sweet. And then what we need to do is give instructions. So let's give some

give instructions. So let's give some instructions here. You are a specialist

instructions here. You are a specialist YouTube agent. Your purpose is to help

YouTube agent. Your purpose is to help me with all manner of growing YouTube and adding as much value as humanly possible. This could be insights,

possible. This could be insights, strategy packaging titling uh competitive analysis, anything that's valuable. You will challenge my

valuable. You will challenge my assumptions. You will reason up from

assumptions. You will reason up from first principles. You will not be sick

first principles. You will not be sick of fantic and you'll help me with data.

You everything you do will be data and you will think around corners. Awesome.

So, first step is to give it some instructions. Then here's a cool thing.

instructions. Then here's a cool thing.

We can add files. So, this could be context about you, your strategy, what you're working on over time. But we can actually build those together. So,

you'll see exactly what I meant. So, I

come down here. I click on create.

Awesome. So, the first thing that I like to do generally speaking is give it some knowledge and give it some context cuz once you've done that, you never really need to do that ever again. So, for my example, one of the things that I might

want to give it from a YouTube point of view is insights and information on the packaging. Right? So, I've created a

packaging. Right? So, I've created a YouTube folder now which is empty. So,

let's start by giving it some information and context. This is step number one. It will differ wildly based

number one. It will differ wildly based on your project. I might say, "Hey, then what I would like you to do within the YouTube folder is create a subfolder which is going to be packaging. And in

packaging, what I'd like you to do is head over to my YouTube channel and I want you to take screenshots of my last 30 videos and store it in there. So I

have you have a knowledge and image base of my titles, how they're performing, and what the image look like and confirm once that is complete. So again,

normally I would actually have to go and take them myself, but we don't need that anymore. Now, what's really cool is now

anymore. Now, what's really cool is now any questions I ever ask this about insights or thumbnails or titles, it will have that context for us. Now,

that's one degree. The other thing that we probably want to give is a bit of context about who we are and what we stand for and what our group is about.

And whilst Claude's working on that, let's give it some additional information. So, I've got my community

information. So, I've got my community here. You can see it kind of explains

here. You can see it kind of explains everything that it does. I've got my YouTube channel. So, I can just copy

YouTube channel. So, I can just copy these links, go over to Claude, and basically provide it to it there and just say something like this. I would

also like you to check out the two links and create a core context file for me in the folder that basically explains what kind of content I focus on and what my strategy is. And then guys, what you

strategy is. And then guys, what you would basically do is just explain to it all the core information that you want to do. So for example, in my business

to do. So for example, in my business project, it actually has loads of interesting stuff like my address and key information like what's your tax number? Like you know stuff that like

number? Like you know stuff that like you spend like where the hell did I put that tax number? I haven't even thought about that. We can put all that in

about that. We can put all that in business so you never have to worry about it ever again. So step one is just give it all this beautiful context. So

now it's got all the context and knows about us. We can now just chat with this

about us. We can now just chat with this about anything we want to strategy insights whatever. So one of the things

insights whatever. So one of the things I might want to do is do a bit of a report for me and then basically turn that into something it can do replicably. So I might say something

replicably. So I might say something like hey there what I'd like you to do is go do some research online to find all the trending stuff that's happening within Claude code and claude co-work within the last seven days. Try and find

things with high degrees of signal and then I want you to turn that into a beautiful HTML report that I can then see on the right hand side. Okay, just

an example. Right now, what's really cool is that whenever I have questions about this particular project, of which I have about seven or eight of them, I can just ask those questions and it will remember everything and so it has that

context. Now, the core benefit in my

context. Now, the core benefit in my opinion is something you can't demonstrate on a video and that's it.

It's memory. It's persistent memory.

Now, whenever I talk to Claude about YouTube, it will just remember all of our existing conversations cuz it's so frustrating on the left hand side to have one chat about this, one chat about that, and you're constantly repeating

yourself. Now we have this beautiful

yourself. Now we have this beautiful home on the left hand side for everything to do with your particular project that just makes everything so easy. And then just like that on a

easy. And then just like that on a oneshot it's got everything for us. It's

picked up on computer use um which dropped like 6 days ago. Dispatch

channels lots of great stuff all there for me in the right hand side. And on

top of that there's one cool thing you've got to understand and that is the difference between co-work and code. Now

the biggest difference between claude code and claude co-work is the following. Bear this in mind. Claude

following. Bear this in mind. Claude

Code can do everything that Claude Coowwork can do with a couple of exceptions. And here's a big tilt.

exceptions. And here's a big tilt.

Claude Co has a better user interface.

It will show you documents like I just showed you, right? Which is gorgeous and wonderful and fantastic. The other thing though is that you may sometimes find that your Claude Co-work tokens burn a little bit faster based on the

processes. It's a little bit slower in

processes. It's a little bit slower in Claude Code. But the other big advantage

Claude Code. But the other big advantage of Claude Co-work is twofold. One is the sharability. So it's the plugins. It's

sharability. So it's the plugins. It's

the ability to share that with your team and get consistent processes. So if

you're fairly new, it's just easier to use claude codework, but you can do a lot of the stuff in cloud code as well.

And if you ever find that your usage hits the max, just switch over to cloud code and build some stuff in there. Now,

understanding this project feature is one thing, but this is just scratching the surface. The next thing we need to

the surface. The next thing we need to do is look at truly exceptional use cases, which we can do by watching this video right
