About this episode
In this episode, I sit down with Boris, the creator of Claude Code and one of the key builders behind Claude Cowork, to unpack what Cowork actually unlocks and how people use it in the real world. He walks through a hands-on demo where Cowork organizes files, extracts receipt data, builds a clean spreadsheet, and even drives the browser to create and share a Google Sheet. We go deep on how “agentic” work feels different when the model takes actions across your computer, your browser, and your tools. Then I shift into Boris’s viral workflow for Claude Code: parallel sessions, plan-first execution, Claude.md as a compounding team memory, and verification loops that dramatically improve output quality.Timestamps:00:00 – Intro03:26 – Cowork Overview05:51 – Demo: Folder Access + Renaming Receipts08:23 – Demo: Turning Receipts Into A Spreadsheet10:52 – Demo: Google Sheets + Chrome Control15:52 – Demo: Emailing The Sheet + Parallel Tasking22:07 – Best way to start/use with Cowork24:22 – Where will AI and Agents Go Next28:44 – Boris’s Claude Code Setup41:12 – The “Claude” Pronunciation DiscussionKey PointsI use Cowork as a “doer,” not a chat: it touches files, browsers, and tools directly.I think about productivity as parallelism: multiple tasks running while I steer outcomes.I treat Claude.md as compounding memory: every mistake becomes a durable rule for the team.I run plan-first workflows: once the plan is solid, execution gets dramatically cleaner.I give Claude a way to verify output (browser/tests): verification drives quality.The #1 tool to find startup ideas/trends - https://www.ideabrowser.comLCA helps Fortune 500s and fast-growing startups build their future - from Warner Music to Fortnite to Dropbox.
