Was this use of Clade Cowork brilliant or stupid?

Posted

I used Claude Cowork to block my calendar for Yankee games. Yes, really. Here's whether it actually worked — and why it matters.

Turns out Claude Cowork doesn't just answer questions — it can reach out to the web, grab a schedule, filter it, and push it straight into your calendar app.
