A realistic first task
You have a call with a prospect tomorrow at 2pm. You know their company name and a bit about their industry, but you need deeper context. Upload their website, recent news, and your previous emails to Cowork. Ask Claude to extract their key business challenges, the people you will meet, and a suggested conversation strategy. Save this prep brief to your calendar or CRM so you have it ready. Cowork turns a 30-minute research sprint into a 5-minute task.
