Cowork lets you complete non-technical tasks much like how developers use Claude Code.

In Cowork, you give Claude access to a folder on your computer. Claude can then read, edit, or create files in that folder.

Try it to create a spreadsheet from a pile of screenshots, or produce a first draft from scattered notes.

Once you've set a task, Claude makes a plan and steadily completes it, looping you in along the way.

Claude will ask before taking any significant actions so you can course-correct as needed.

Claude can use your existing connectors, which link Claude to external information.

You can also pair Cowork with Claude in Chrome for tasks that need browser access.

We tell startups all the time that they have to grow quickly. That's true, and very good advice, but I think the current fashion of Silicon Valley startups has taken this to an unhealthy extreme. Startups have a weekly growth goal before they really have any strong idea about what they want to build.

In the first few weeks of a startup's life, the founders really need to figure out what they're doing and why. Then they need to build a product some users really love. Only after that they should focus on growth above all else.

A startup that prematurely targets a growth goal often ends up making a nebulous product that some users sort of like and papering over this with 'growth hacking'. That sort of works-at least, it will fool investors for a while until they start digging into retention numbers-but eventually the music stops.

I think the right initial metric is "do any users love our product so much they spontaneously tell other people to use it?" Until that's a "yes", founders are generally better off focusing on this instead of a growth target.

The very best technology companies sometimes take awhile to figure out exactly what they're doing, but when they do, they usually pass that binary test before turning all their energy to growth. It's the critical ingredient for companies that do really well, and if you don't figure it out, no amount of growth hacking will make you into a great company.

As a side note, startups that don't first figure out a product some users love also seem to rarely develop the sense of mission that the best companies have.

Estimates suggest that 11,000 to 22,000 roles could be eliminated worldwide.

This would represent about 5% to 10% of its workforce of roughly 220,000.
