Episode Details

You've probably seen Cowork mentioned inside Claude, or perhaps you clocked the headlines when Microsoft folded it into Copilot a couple of weeks ago. Either way, the question people keep asking is simple: how is this actually different from just chatting with Claude? 

The answer comes down to files, time and money - three things that change quite dramatically once you move from chat to Cowork. 

In this How I AI episode, Neo and I unpack exactly what Cowork can do that regular chat can't, how to know which one to reach for, and what the new Microsoft version means if you're a Copilot user. 

What you'll learn: 

• What actually changes when Claude can touch files on your own computer 

• The simple test for deciding between Chat and Cowork for any task 

• How Cowork differs from Claude Code, and who each one is really built for 

• Three lesser known Cowork features worth exploring 

• What Microsoft's version of Cowork does differently, and what it costs 

• Practical AI tools for productivity and focus 

• Real-world AI workflows used by high performers 

• How to use AI at work without burning out 

• Smart shortcuts for managing time and mental load
