Cowork 101: Chat, Cowork, Models and Memory

In this AI Workshops session, Forum3 AI specialist Kait Smith explains the difference between chat, Cowork and Code in Claude, and how to prompt Cowork effectively by giving it context. She shows how to ask Claude to interview you when you cannot supply every detail, and how to choose among Haiku, Sonnet, Opus and Fable 5, including effort levels and the usage tab.

Kait also covers turning on memory in settings, setting connector permissions so write actions always ask first, and how skills and scheduled tasks can turn a repeated weekly task into a draft that is ready each Friday. The session closes with questions on admin access and what counts as a low-level task.

Viewers leave knowing which Claude model to start with and how to set up Cowork safely.
