Key points

  • Cowork is an autonomous agent, not a chat interface, with direct file system access to a local folder.
  • Use outcome-oriented prompts that describe the final deliverable, not the steps to get there.
  • Set global instructions in settings to personalize preferences and avoid repetitive context.
  • Schedule recurring tasks like daily briefings or weekly cleanups, but note they only run when the computer is on and Claude Desktop is open.
