π€ How I Set Up Claude As My AI Coworker
The setup guides don't tell you to do this part

Good morning.
I finally set up Claude Cowork this week, the desktop version of Claude that can read your files and run real tasks.
The setup itself was the easy part. The bigger lesson came from how I prepped for it, and what happened when I asked Cowork to audit my workweek for the first time.
Today, letβs talk about:
The hack hiding in plain sight that most setup guides skip
The 5-step setup that turns Cowork from chatbot to coworker
What happened when Cowork audited my own workweek
Letβs get into it.
