Anthropic launches Claude Cowork for non-technical tasks
This LastWeekIn.ai podcast episode (recorded 2026-01-16, hosted by Andrey Kurenkov and Jeremie Harris) covers Anthropic’s new Cowork desktop agent and broader AI industry moves. Anthropic’s Cowork — a desktop agentic tool tied to Claude Code — was discussed alongside reports that Anthropic is raising $10 billion at a $350 billion valuation. The episode also reviews large funding rounds (xAI reportedly raising $20 billion), OpenAI’s compute deals, and infrastructure strains: NVIDIA faces supply bottlenecks for H200 chips driven by strong demand from China. Policy debates over U.S. export controls and their industry implications featured contributions referencing Alibaba leader Justin Lin and Jake Sullivan (former national security advisor). The episode mixes product news, major funding announcements, research items (including Deep Delta Learning), and infrastructure and policy developments affecting the AI ecosystem.
PM builds self-improving Claude productivity system
Daniel Blum, a product manager at Melio, describes a year-long project building a Claude- and Cowork-based productivity system that automates his Notion board, processes Slack and email, and runs weekly self-improvement loops without prompting. He created a 'Workstation' onboarding plugin that configures a personalized Claude setup for any Melio employee in about 15 minutes, and uses features such as a morning brief, an 'Improve' skill to filter tips, and automatic jargon capture. Blum reports running roughly 70–80% of his workday through Cowork/Claude while noting remaining capability gaps that prevent fully replacing workflows.
Anthropic’s Claude Cowork Automates Office Workflows
Anthropic released a Chrome extension that embeds Claude as a sidebar inside the Chrome browser, enabling the model to read pages, click buttons, fill forms, navigate tabs, and run scheduled automations. The extension turns recorded workflows into recurring tasks and can operate across multiple logged-in sessions and tabs, enabling use cases such as negotiating a $100 billing credit with AT&T autonomously, organizing 900 Google Drive files, inbox triage, and multi-tab competitive intelligence that can produce structured spreadsheets when paired with Cowork.Build. Developer workflows are supported via integration with Claude Code so agents can write in terminals while the extension tests in the browser. The author notes real-world limitations—particularly for data-heavy tasks that should be split into subtasks—and includes prompts and safety checks for building automations. This follows Anthropic product updates (Cowork features, plugins, scheduled tasks and browser automation) and demonstrates agentic browser automation moving from demo to deployed workflows.
