[ Claude Cowork for creative teams ]

Delegate to it, check in with it.

Cowork works in your files, your tools and your browser, and checks in where your judgment counts.

01 · What Cowork connects to

One place where your tools meet.

Cowork plans, works, checks in Your files Connectors MCP Plugins Claude in Chrome Scheduled tasks Projects The folders you choose to share.Reads, sorts and makes real files. Drive, Slack, Figma, Gmail, Linearand more, talking to Claude directly. Skills, connectors and helpers,packaged for a role or a team. Works the sites with no connector,using the logins you already have. Runs on a cadence in the cloud,even with your laptop closed. A home per client: files, links,instructions and memory.

MCP, in plain words: the Model Context Protocol is the open standard that lets Claude plug into other software. Each connector is one plug.

02 · The working loop

Treat it like a new collaborator, not a search bar. ○ you · ● Claude

03 · Where it fits in creative work

Keep the taste. Share the load.

What stays with you

  • The idea, and the judgment about which one is good.
  • The client relationship and the room you read.
  • The final yes on anything that goes out the door.

What Cowork can carry

  • Research, references and the first pass at a brief.
  • Drafts and variations, so you react instead of start.
  • Gathering, sorting and cross-checking across your tools.

04 · How Cowork reaches your tools

Start with the most direct path, reach further when you need to.

Plugins bundle skills, connectors and helpers for a role (design, marketing, sales, ops). Install once, the whole team gets the setup. FIRST CHOICEWHEN THERE'S NO CONNECTORLAST RESORT · PREVIEW Connector Claude in Chrome Computer use Talks to the app directly. Fast,structured and the most reliable.Slack, Drive, Figma, your CRM. Clicks, types and fills forms in yourbrowser. Client portals, vendor sites,old dashboards with no API. Uses desktop apps on your screen.Slowest, and needs the mostwatching. Keep it for the gaps. FASTER, MORE RELIABLE REACHES FURTHER, WATCH MORE CLOSELY

The real shift is the connections between tools. A brief in Drive, feedback in Slack and a task in your tracker can feed one piece of work, without anyone copying and pasting between them.

05 · Spotlight: Claude in Chrome

For the work that lives behind a login.

  • It runs Cowork in your browser. The Chrome side panel is a full Cowork session, with your skills and connectors along for the ride.
  • Good fits: client portals, ad and analytics dashboards, competitor sites, and anything you'd otherwise screenshot and retype.
  • Start on sites you trust. Web pages can carry hidden instructions, so keep sensitive sites on an allowlist.
  • It asks before the big moves. Purchases and sharing personal data always come back to you. Review forms and messages before they send.
06 · Is this a job for Cowork?

Four quick checks before you hand it over.

Does it draw onseveral files or tools? Does it end asa file or a sheet? Will you do itagain next month? Could you easily tellif it's right? Hand itto Cowork NOT QUITENOT QUITENOT QUITENOT QUITE Keep it in chat, or keep it yours. Concept direction, the pitch and the big creative calls are yours. Ask Claude for options, not the answer. Then end with: "Check against the sources and flag gaps."

07 · Prompts worth keeping

Starting points for creative teams. Swap in your details

Sharpen the briefFolder
"Read the brief in [project folder]. List the questions a thoughtful creative director would ask, and point out anything missing or contradictory."
Gather the feedbackFolder + Slack
"Pull every piece of client feedback from [folder] and [Slack channel] into a sheet: where, what they asked, status, owner. Flag anything unclear."
After every meetingConnector
"From my notes for the [client] meeting: decisions, open questions and actions by owner. Then draft a warm follow-up in my voice for me to send."
The Monday picture/schedule
"Every Monday at 8, look across [tracker], [Slack channel] and [folder] and draft the week: what moved, what's stuck, what needs me."
Find the referencesChrome
"Browse for 8 references for [style or mood]. Save screenshots to [folder] and note what each does well and what we could learn from it."
Read the landscapeChrome
"Visit these 5 competitor sites. Capture each homepage and summarize their positioning, offer and tone in a one-page comparison."
Clear the portal adminChrome
"Log into [vendor portal], download this month's invoices to [folder] and list the totals in a sheet. Stop before submitting anything."
Check the live buildChrome
"Open [staging URL] and walk the key pages on desktop width. List broken links, typos and anything that doesn't match the approved copy doc."
08 · From habit to agent

The things you repeat are where the time hides.

01020304 Do it once, togetherSave it as a skillPut it on a scheduleShare it as a plugin Notice when you've typedthe same thing three times. Anyone on the team canrun it by name. /schedule it, and it'sready before you are. Skills and connectorsyour whole team installs.
09 · Good habits for client work
  • Use business seats (Team or Enterprise) for client work. Anthropic doesn't train on commercial data by default.
  • Share what the task needs. One project folder, not the whole drive, and know what each connector can change.
  • Pick the right approval mode. Ask-first while you learn a workflow, auto once it has earned your trust.
  • Review before anything leaves. Messages, forms and payments sent on your behalf get a human look. Cowork asks before deleting files.
