Claude CoWork absolutely dominates - I use it continuously now when connecting to mail, calendar, jira, google docs - any type of knowledge work. Almost everyone I know (at work) who does "Knowledge work" type stuff (as opposed to coding) uses it as their primary pane-of-glass now. I have 15+ years of top 1 percentile knowledge using awk to process complex unstructured documents - and I don't even bother anymore - ju…

How much does it cost? ChatGPT costs ~$2 per message; if Anthropic have a similar pricing model don't you find lots of small changes and up fast?

It doesn't cost me anything. No idea how much it costs the company though. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

In what bubble ChatGPT Work and Claude Cowork are established? I don't know anyone using it regularly and I'm in a bubble of people using lots of AI tools.

Agreed. I split my work between Anthropic and OpenAI models but CoWork is deeply integrated into my workflows in compliance and project management. I can do more in a day with these tools than I did in a week before them and I have 20+ years of experience leading teams and building companies (even opened the NASDAQ once). It’s impossible to not be using these tools and still win in today’s world.

$2 per message is certainly not my experience

My accountant friend says it’s amazing (he does check the work but says it’s amazingly accurate).

As a counterpoint, the Accounting and Finance departments where I work are banned from using Cowork because it performed abysmally during a trial run. To put things in perspective, humans with a 25% lower error rate than Cowork are pip'd and usually let go. As with junior programmers and their love of vibe coding, I've found that anyone who thinks that AI tooling right now is "amazing" lacks the skills, knowledge, an…

Your anecdote is not powerful enough to justify insulting groups of people like you just did.

This is deeply troubling.

What’s troubling about it? Accounting is a huge space; many of which would be an excellent fit for an LLM. We’ll need specifics.

I would guess EU? Technically a bunch of countries don't allow data to be with Manus aka Chinese cloud services. For instance, India has quite literally banned Alibaba Cloud and related.

Why guess? This is trivially Googleable information.

Then google it and post it. This is useless.
