    230 million people are asking healthcare questions on ChatGPT every single week. Over 40 million daily. We're two of them - and the results changed our lives.

    Claude Cowork Is Here: The AI Desktop Agent That Changes Everything

    A million people installed Claudebot - an unofficial AI agent that could handle your schedule, admin, and daily tasks. Then the security vulnerabilities came out. Your passwords, your data, all exposed. Anthropic's response? They built Claude Cowork - an official, secure desktop agent that integrates with your apps, your tools, and your workflow. It just got a Slack integration. New plugins are shipping daily. And it's going to change how every department operates. We also break down what happened with Moltbot (the "Facebook for AI agents" that went sideways fast), NASA using AI on the Mars rover, and exactly how to start using Cowork for sales, marketing, finance, and more.
