Cowork

In plain words

Cowork is a productivity tool that transforms Claude into a digital coworker capable of handling tasks autonomously. Users grant Claude access to their computer folders and assign work rather than engage in back-and-forth conversation. Claude can read, edit, and create files, plan its own work, and execute complete tasks while keeping the user informed and in control. It's designed for anyone looking to reduce communication overhead and increase task completion efficiency.

From the sources

Cowork turns Claude into a real coworker. Give it access to a folder on your computer and assign tasks instead of chatting. Claude can read, edit, and create files, plan its work, and execute tasks end-to-end while keeping you in control. Less back-and-forth, more work done.

With Claude Cowork, you can start a task at your desk, check in on it from your phone, and get a polished deck, document, or spreadsheet for review. Connect your data; schedule a daily, weekly, or monthly task; and ask for the format you need.

  isometric.nyc – giant isometric pixel art map of NYC▲1,325

  Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc

  Mom Clock▲742

  Hi HN, I’ve tried dozens of reminder and habit apps over the years. They’re all polite. Gentle. Easy to ignore. So I built something intentionally different. Mom Clock is a reminder app that behaves more like a strict parent than a productivity coach: – no snoozing – no “later” – optional app blocking using Screen Time APIs The idea came from my own behavior: I don’t need motivation — I need enforcement. This is not for everyone. Some people hate it. Some people love it. I’m genuinely curious where HN stands on this tradeoff: comfort vs. effectiveness. Happy to answer questions about: –…
