  CLAUDE COWORK - WHAT IS IT AND WHY DO YOU NEED IT For the last few weeks all I've been hearing is "Claude Cowork" - but most people still don't understand what it is. I'm breaking it down, and at the same time comparing it with Codex Computer from OpenAI. WHAT IS IT: A desktop application from Anthropic. Claude automates tasks directly on your computer - locally, without the cloud. It was released in January 2026, and in March they added Computer Use - now Claude can see your screen and control it. It wasn't made for coders, but more for people whose work is routine: marketers, analysts, managers, researchers. WHAT CAN IT DO: > Sees the screen and controls any application with the mouse and keyboard > Remembers context between sessions > Connects to services through MCP > All files stay local - Anthropic cannot see them and does not train on them Examples of tasks: Morning briefing from Gmail, document → spreadsheet with a single command. You can control it from your phone through Dispatch - gave it a task, left, came back to a finished result. I attached a video where you'll learn 80% of Claude Cowork's functionality in less than 20 minutes. COWORK VS CODEX COMPUTER Data: > Cowork stores everything locally on your computer > Codex sends everything through OpenAI servers - I think it's clear why that's not okay Who is it for: > Cowork is made for ordinary people - marketers, analysts, managers > Codex is designed for coders, deeply integrated with GitHub Phone: > For Cowork it's Dispatch > Codex - the ChatGPT app where you can see the live session screen Price: Both are $20/month, but Codex spends 4 times fewer tokens on the same tasks. On the other hand, Anthropic doubled Cowork limits until July 5. My choice is Cowork. Everything is local, a huge ecosystem, integrates with hundreds of services, in short, it's awesome. You can watch the video below to learn about 80% of the functionality in just a few minutes.

  @oskargroth Not sure what is the problem exactly. - local model is fine for DMA - is it icloud+ only gemini integration? Now for example you can’t use your ChatGPT sub instead. (Forbidden by DMA) - or is it the Apple ecosystem focus? Mail instead of gmail (also DMA) Both are Apple greed

  A guy sat at his laptop ready to permanently delete his 15-year-old Gmail account. He was getting 400 spam emails a day. Fake Best Buy receipts. Phishing links from "Netflix." Cryptic extortion threats. He hovered his mouse over "Delete Account" and sighed: "I just want peace." His coworker, a former email deliverability engineer, looked over his shoulder. "Before you nuke 15 years of contacts and data, let me show you something. Your email isn't broken. It's weaponized. There are 22 ways you've been leaving the door wide open. Google won't tell you this because the data collection feeds their entire ad engine. Give me 14 minutes." Here's what she showed him:

  Everything that affects your YouTube Trust Score (save this): Your Gmail needs to be at least 6 months old. A brand new Gmail makes it really hard to build trust. Add a profile picture and channel name before you do anything else. You can not skip this step. Post one video every day. If you miss a day your trust score goes down a little. If you post more than once, wait 1 to 3 hours between each upload. 5 videos a day is the max. The more views you get, the more you can post. Under 50k views in 2 days means stick to 1 a day. People need to watch your video longer than it is long. A 7 second video should get about 10 seconds of watch time. If they leave early, your score drops. Swipe rate needs to stay above 81%. If it falls below 72% that is a real problem. Rewatches and sound clicks matter the most. Comments, shares, and people finishing the video matter a lot too. Likes and new subs matter but less than people think. Your channel bio needs to sound like a real person wrote it. Say something like "I am..." in it. This tells YouTube you are a real human. Always set your video category to Entertainment. Credit anyone whose video you used. This keeps you safe from strikes.

  The AI word of the week has been "loops" — adding yet another piece of jargon to the non-technical vocabulary. This is leaving a lot of people asking: what are they, how are they different from prompts? In a lot of non-technical circles the level of grey about what the parts of agentic AI actually are (and how to use them) can be overwhelming. What's more, they're not static — as things develop, so do their uses and how they work together. Loops themselves have evolved over the last few years. So, here's a little primer to make things easier: Prompt — we know this one. It's the instruction you write for the LLM. You send it, get your output, and any tweaking happens off the back of that output. Prompts are for one-off tasks. As you build reliable ones, you reuse them by pasting them into the terminal or chat. Agent — (this one we know too) the LLM running on its own, doing a series of steps without you watching each one. You give it a goal and walk away. Call — to invoke something by name so it runs. You "call" a skill (or a loop, a tool, an MCP) by typing its name and the LLM loads it and executes the setup. When you ask your LLM to use a skill, hook or loop you are calling it. Skill — a packaged set of instructions, files, and tools the LLM loads when you call it by name. A prompt is just one-off instructions; a skill brings the working setup with it — what to read, what rules to follow, what tools it can use, what to produce. You call it once and the whole setup runs. Some people stuff all this into their CLAUDE.md, but bloating CLAUDE.md causes context issues and the LLM starts ignoring your instructions. That's why skills are for specific contexts and tasks, not general ones. The rule of thumb is: when you have a task you do over and over, with rules → make it a skill. Call it by name instead of re-explaining the rules every time you want it done. Hook — a rule that says "when X happens, do Y." It executes automatically when triggered — a file is saved, a meeting ends, a session starts — and the hook runs the action you tied to it. These are basic automations. Use them when one task is dependent on a different event. Example: You save a new invoice PDF in your invoices folder → a hook automatically triggers your expense categorization skill and logs it in your accounting sheet. Loop — a small program you write that runs a prompt for you, over and over, and checks the work was done properly. It isn't the prompt itself — it's the thing that runs the prompt without you in the middle. Loops are more complicated than hooks and are not prompts. Where a hook does one thing from start to end when triggered, a loop initiates a process from start to end automatically at a time you define. Where a prompt is instructions, a loop is the directive to use those instructions. Use it for repeatable tasks where you're confident in the output and want them running without starting each one yourself. The loop runs the skill, checks the work, stops when the rules say so. Example: A daily "process inbox" loop that runs every morning at 9 a.m., summarizes new emails, extracts action items, self-verifies, and only pings you if something needs your attention. Loops only work if you set them up properly. A few things worth understanding before you do: - Self-verify — a step inside a loop where the LLM checks its own work against the rules before saving or moving on. Without it, the loop produces confident garbage. With it, the loop catches and fixes its own mistakes. - Simple loop vs supervisor loop — a simple loop is one LLM doing one task on repeat. A supervisor loop is a top loop that spins up several workers in parallel, each running its own prompt, then combines their output into one result. - Token budget — a hard cap on how much the loop can spend before it has to stop. Tokens are what the AI charges for, like minutes on a phone bill. Without a cap, a stuck loop can rack up hundreds overnight. Remember when you write you see words, the Agent sees tokens. - Orchestration vs execution — the loop orchestrates: decides what runs, when, and in what order. The LLM executes: runs the actual prompt and produces the output. Two different jobs. - .md files (markdown) — a plain text file the LLM can read. This is where most of your directions for an AI — instructions, rules, context — live. It's how you tailor an LLM to your project. Common ones: CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md / GEMINI.md (depends on the LLM you're using) — master instructions for a folder or project. They live in the folder you launch the LLM from. The LLM reads them automatically when it starts working. These are the house rules for your project or workspace. SKILL.md — the instruction file at the heart of a skill. Tells the LLM what the skill is for, when to use it, and how. ADR (Architecture Decision Record) — a decision written as a rule the AI can apply. Format: what was decided, why, and what to do or not do because of it. ADRs are a development artefact, so most non-technical users don't touch them — but using them can substantially improve the output of your agents. If there's a rule you want the AI to always check its work against → write it as an ADR in a .md file. Any skill or loop can then check its output against the ADR before saving. This is one way of "harnessing" the agent — making sure its output matches what you're actually building, from meeting notes to full products. SOP (Standard Operating Procedure) — the process for a recurring task, written step by step so the AI can follow it. One SOP per repeating job, just like any standard process. The skill running the job reads the SOP for the steps. Note on terminology: The concepts above are fairly universal, but exact names, file conventions, and implementation details vary by tool (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.). You might see CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, .cursorrules, or different triggers depending on which system you're using. Other things you might be reading/hearing: CLI (Command Line Interface) — your terminal or Command Prompt window, where you type commands instead of clicking buttons. Most coding AIs live in the CLI. MCP (Model Context Protocol) — the standard that lets the LLM talk to outside tools and services. Without MCP, the LLM only sees what you paste in. With MCP, it can fetch your Gmail, read a Notion page, update a Google Doc, post to Slack — directly, on its own. How they fit togetherPrompts live inside skills. Skills live inside loops. Loops initiate via hooks or schedules. All of them read .md files — CLAUDE.md for the house rules, SOPs for the process, ADRs for the rules they have to follow. The prompt is the smallest piece. Everything else is a way of wrapping, packaging, or triggering prompts, so you don't have to type them in by hand.These are the concepts. The specifics — where files live, what triggers what, whether you write a loop or call a built-in one — vary by tool. If i've forgotten anything or you need more info let me know. #AgenticAI #AI

  Shopify went down for two hours on Wednesday. strange seat to watch it from. order webhooks kept arriving, but every call to fetch the order behind them failed. hundreds of delayed jobs retrying. my Gmail was a mess of failure alerts. nothing broken on our side, nothing to fix either. just watching the queue grow until Shopify came back. renting your uptime is part of the deal when you build on someone's platform. wednesday was rent day.

  10. Recovery Email Exposure The Situation: Your Gmail is protected. Your recovery email isn't. The Mechanics: Attackers target the weakest link. A forgotten Yahoo account can become the doorway into everything else. The Fix: Secure recovery accounts as carefully as primary accounts.

  Gmail started actively enforcing its bulk sender rules in November 2025. Non-compliant senders now face permanent rejection. The thresholds are public and strict. If you send 5,000+ emails per day to Gmail addresses, you need full SPF, DKIM, and DMARC authentication, one-click unsubscribe, and a spam complaint rate below 0.3 percent. Cross those lines and your messages get bounced before any human reads them. Every cold email tool in the category is now operating in this regime, and most of them haven't told their customers what it actually means. The math is harsh. If your spam complaint rate goes above 0.3 percent across a 7-day window, Gmail starts rate-limiting your sends, and you have to drop your spam rate back below 0.1 percent for 7 consecutive days to even be eligible for mitigation. For high-volume senders, one bad week can take the channel out for a month. The vendors selling "send more" as a strategy in 2026 are pointing their customers directly at the cliff. The infrastructure that used to let you spray 10,000 emails a day and absorb the bounce rate is gone, and it isn't coming back. The platforms decided the volume model was the problem, and they're enforcing the fix on the senders directly.

  YouTube has a trust score for new channels that decides whether your videos reach anyone or get buried in complete silence.. And they never told anyone about it This matters because you can post 50 genuinely good videos into a channel the algorithm already decided to ignore. every single one goes into a void. you assume you're bad at this, burn out, and quit. the whole time the issue wasn't your content. it was a flag that got set before your first video even uploaded here's how it works: when you create a new channel, YouTube's system evaluates a set of signals to determine whether you're a real human or a bot. fresh gmail (never used for anything real) + instant uploads + zero viewing history + no subscriber activity = the exact pattern of the thousands of spam channels YouTube kills every day. so the system treats you the same way it treats them. throttles your reach before you've begun the people who skip this step and go straight to uploading will post 10, 15, 20 videos and get under 100 impressions on all of them. then they google "why is nobody seeing my YouTube videos" and some guru tells them their thumbnails need work. their thumbnails were fine. the channel was flagged on day one the fix costs $0 and takes 7 days. here's the full protocol: step 1: use a gmail you actually use in real life. not a fresh one you made for the channel. a real email with search history, subscriptions, normal human activity. this alone changes how YouTube classifies the account from the start step 2: before uploading anything, spend 7 days being a viewer on that account. watch full videos in your niche (not just click and bounce, actually watch them through). subscribe to 10-15 channels in your space. leave a few real comments. the system is building a profile of your account during this period and you want that profile to look like an actual human who cares about this topic step 3: verify the channel and set your country to a tier 1 location (US, UK, Canada, Australia). do NOT brand the channel heavily at this stage. a fully branded channel with a logo, banner, custom URL, and zero videos looks like a pre-built operation designed to spam. leave it minimal. upload first, dress it up after you have content on it step 4: day 8, post one video. check your impressions after 48 hours. this is the test that tells you everything above 500 impressions = the trust score is alive. YouTube has classified you as a real channel and is willing to test your content with real viewers. keep building from here below 500 impressions = the channel is shadow-flagged. your content is being shown to almost nobody and no amount of good videos will fix the flag on this account. start fresh with a new setup and run the 7-day warmup properly most people who fail on YouTube never get this information. 45% of people quit before their 25th video. a massive percentage of them were never actually bad at YouTube. they were invisible from day one because the platform made a decision about their account in the first hour and nobody told them they only get one shot at that first impression the difference between a channel the algorithm trusts and one it doesn't isn't content quality. it isn't thumbnails. it isn't posting frequency. it's whether you looked human for 7 days before you started uploading. that's the entire difference we're building a tool that handles the entire YouTube production pipeline for business owners, from script to finished video, powered by AI avatars that the algorithm treats as real people. the waitlist is in bio. if you've been thinking about YouTube for your business and the production side is what keeps stopping you, this removes that entirely link in bio

  if you're outside the US and your tiktok is showing your posts to the wrong country, your epc is dead before you write a single hook us traffic converts at multiples of most other geos on affiliate offers. you can have the best video in your niche and make nothing because the algorithm is showing it to viewers who can't or won't convert on a us-targeted offer here's the setup i use to target us traffic from outside the us. it takes under an hour and once it's done it's done get a spare phone. any old iphone or android. you film on your main device and transfer the footage over. the spare is only for uploading put a us sim in it. t-mobile, any carrier. it doesn't need an active plan. a deactivated sim works. the phone will show "no service" and that's fine factory reset the spare phone with the sim already in it, then boot it up clean turn on a vpn before you do anything else and connect to a us city. this prevents the shadowban. the device has to read as us from the first moment it touches the apps download tiktok only after the vpn is running. to confirm the device reads as us, go to the login screen and pick "log in with phone number." if the country code defaults to +1, you're set register with an email, not a phone number. gmail or yahoo. a phone number ties the account to your real geo post your first video with the vpn active, let it get some traction, then check the analytics. if the majority of your views are coming from the us, the setup worked never open the apps or upload without the vpn on. one upload on your real connection and you lose the us targeting on that account. vpn is on every single time or the account is burned
