Let it finish the job itself

This is the advanced mode (called Cowork): you give a goal, it does the work. You need: the Claude desktop app + a paid plan.

One idea first

• Regular chat: you ask, it answers — you do the clicking.
• Cowork: you say “organize this folder for me” — it does the clicking, then hands you the result.

Follow along (first time, the safe way)

1. Create a test folder with a few unimportant files (never practice on folders that matter).
2. Open the desktop app → Cowork, and let it connect to that test folder (it asks for permission first).
3. Say:

Organize this folder: sort the files into categories, rename them clearly, and give me a summary of what you changed.

4. It shows you its plan first — you review, approve, then it works.

What you’ll see

It works step by step on its own; the folder ends up tidy, with a report.

Quick warnings (important)

• Always start with a test folder. When it wants to delete or move important things, read before you approve.
• Treat it like a new assistant: small tasks first, bigger ones as trust grows.
