On this episode, we explore how AI tools like Claude Cowork are automating the drudgery layer of knowledge work, and why the most important skill is now how well you can guide intelligent systems.
Topics covered include:
What Claude Cowork actually does well: file manipulation, web navigation, and closing the manual screenshot loop
How work is shifting from execution to direction and intention-setting
The morning briefing system: AI executing on goals set at daily, weekly, and strategic levels
Applying the Intention Stack framework from Intentional to guide AI systems
The risk of “wasted leverage”
