Episode description
On this episode, we explore how AI tools like Claude Cowork are automating the drudgery layer of knowledge work, and why the most important skill is now how well you can guide intelligent systems.
Topics covered include:
- What Claude Cowork actually does well: file manipulation, web navigation, and closing the manual screenshot loop
- How work is shifting from execution to direction and intention-setting
- The morning briefing system: AI executing on goals set at daily, weekly, and strategic levels
- Applying the Intention Stack framework from Intentional to guide AI systems
- The risk of “wasted leverage”
- Why every minute becomes more valuable when you’re guiding systems instead of doing the work yourself
