Descriptions:
Boris, the creator of Claude Code, sits down with Greg Isenberg for an exclusive walkthrough of Claude Co-work — Anthropic’s new desktop product that brings the power of Claude Code into a simplified UI designed for non-technical users. Unlike the original terminal-based Claude Code, Co-work runs on Mac (with Windows support announced as coming soon) and is built directly on the same Claude Agent SDK that powers Claude Code under the hood.
Boris uses live demos to show Co-work handling multi-step research tasks, drafting emails, and automatically messaging engineers on Slack based on data pulled from a shared spreadsheet — all without manual terminal commands. He also explains what “agentic” actually means in precise terms, cutting through the buzzword noise that has diluted the concept.
One of the most practical insights is Boris’s parallel-workflow approach: rather than waiting for a single task to finish, he kicks off multiple Co-work sessions simultaneously and tends to them like a manager, checking in as each progresses. He argues this shift from deep single-tasking to broad multi-task oversight is the defining productivity pattern of the current AI era. For developers already using Claude Code and curious about Co-work’s relationship to it, and for non-technical builders looking for an accessible entry point to agentic AI, this episode delivers direct guidance straight from the product’s creator.
