Transcript context

…I don't think you realize just how much awesomeness you're sharing here. Everyone of these is like, "What?" Okay. So this Ami example, you have one on ones with her. Do you ask Claude Cowork to go through all of her writing, basically build like a model of her and you ask, "What should I be doing differently based on what you know about Ami"? Is that different? Yeah. Effectively, there's a number of ways you can do this. I think if someone has a public profile where they've written extensively, it's helpful because Claude can just get all that information. Otherwise, you can have a project or you can have a skill, but increasingly, Claude is better at just understanding. Because you can tell Claude like, "Look on Cowork." You can say, using the Slack MCP, "Look at everything that this person has said in the last week, et cetera." And based on that, what are their top priorities? What are priorities my manager has based on how they're spending their time that I don't know? And so all of this layer of stuff, which is like, I think about it as soft coaching, I think that that is unlocked, in my opinion already. I think it's just that you're working with a coach who is kind of like drunk at times. Not drunk, but sometimes says something, you're like, "Why would you bring that up? That's clearly wrong." But other times, you're like, "Wow." There's like, one of the guys, Scott, who leads our enterprise team. There was a few cases where he found major areas of misalignment that would've caused teams to spin their wheels significantly or do overlapping work. And you think about the impact of that. Your shipping in this world as bigger companies is going to be constrained often by all the cross-functional coordination, right? And I think we're now starting to see at this cross-functional coordination layer, some of that work AI is really being able to be used to reduce that foil. And I think that six months ago, that wasn't possible. And I'm like, "Shit, six months from now, what is going to be possible there?" Oh, man. And I think the fact that all this data is there, Slack, there's Granola, or whatever people use, all these notes from conversations and discussions are really key to this working.…
