01 / observation
“The only way to make computer use on your host, like super safe, like really super safe is probably if you approve every single action, right.”
02 / commitment
“I mean, as an engineer I will tell you like, you know, technic a person to technic a person.”
03 / belief
“Um, like if the Clark Code people who build the planning functionalities would city, they probably say yes, we have all of those things in Clark code and they do. Um, I think people tend to give cowork.”
04 / belief
“How many, like, it’s always data analysis. And I think the thing that ultimately led to skills is that we wanted to connect this little prototype to our data warehouse and.”
05 / belief
“You know, never say never, but I think going back to this idea of like, we wanna plug this into an entire existing workflow, I think our goal is actually to not replace any of the applications we have in your computer.”
06 / belief
“Mike just joined the labs team as a, as an ic, which I think is very cool and very fun.”
07 / belief
“I think for me, this is sort of where I go back to the really basic primitives for our skills are file-based instead of like this complicated thing that exists inside a place somewhere that is like super proprietary.”
08 / belief
“You know, I think, I think you’re right. I think you’re right that the holistic platform is really useful.”
09 / belief
“I’m not sure that I’m like the individual that can add like anything useful there. But I think as societies with economists and, and governments that need to wrestle those questions in a way that is probably more meaningful than me wrestling with them, we’re probably not doing good enough.”
10 / belief
“I think we’re gonna see a lot of like applications and companies that do very impressive things with ai that in the short term might seem very effective ‘cause they’re very specialized to individual use cases.”
11 / belief
“I, I think the wild thing is that like as engineers, we so often sort of assume that the platform, like the layer below us is like super stable.”
12 / belief
“I think the funny thing about a lot of these products is that like, for good reason, I don’t enjoy, I, I don’t, throughout my entire career, I’ve never like teased too much what I’m working on because I think you should just like, yeah.”
13 / evaluation
“You mentioned our finance people, they’ve been working pretty hard on very good office integrations. And I think for a while we’ve been like, we built so much tech around cloud, leaving useful comments inside a Google Doc, and now it just does, it just like leaves a comment in your Google Doc and that’s how you interact with it.”
14 / recommendation
“It, it’s, it’s, it’s a level of the stack that I’m quite comfortable with. And whenever I give other engineers, advisors actually that layer that I think is most valuable to invest in because the tools of that layer are not that good.”
15 / preference
“Which is like, like obviously I would say that, but it’s also just generally true because I don’t wanna shrink my potential user base artificially by saying, okay, like, I’m gonna start building for the people who are willing to switch browsers.”
16 / commitment
“Um, and I think that’s still evolving, but I think what’s probably gonna go away is like, I’m not sure if it’s gonna fully go away, but I’m gonna say, I think for me personally, I will probably no longer try to come up with a really good product without testing up with people.”
17 / evaluation
“Like, I’m so curious, like one of the most fun parts of my job is like constantly see the weird things people use Cowork for because it’s obviously like very hard for us to actually design for specific use cases we do.”
18 / evaluation
“The reason to go with your own embedded rendering engine is because, and this is still true in 2026, the operating system render engines are not that good.”
19 / recommendation
“If your company’s doing like weird internet things like pack inspection and like, like, you know, taking your part as a cell and inside your company, I think there was probably like a very small, easy version to build of cowork that is much simpler but also breaks on most com most users, computers.”
