Automate invoicing, legislation tracking, and email triage with Cowork
Users had Claude Cowork create, send and track invoices, gather and analyze proposed state AI legislation, and send a daily email of the top 3 emails to answer by priority score.
Done withClaude Cowork
- What they did
- The source says these were done with Claude Code and other coding agents, not Cowork itself. Nikhil Krishnan, a non-technical user, spent about an hour with Claude Code setting up a daily email. It lists the top 3 emails to answer, using a priority scoring system built with Claude and data from several places. Dean Ball used coding agents to automate invoice creation, sending and tracking, and to gather and analyze proposed state AI legislation.
- How it went
- The daily priority email was running after about an hour. Ball gives no figures. He says the legislation research is no substitute for reading a bill before writing about it.
- Worth knowing
- Cowork is a Mac-only research preview for Max subscribers. It has no memory between sessions, and the app must stay open during tasks.
