I resubscribed to Claude Pro yesterday for personal projects. I’d paused it a few months ago because my work provides an Enterprise plan, and back then the two worked pretty much the same for me. Now they don’t.

On Pro: Every time I start a new session in a project, I have to re-add my folder and confirm access again. Nothing persists between sessions.

On Enterprise: The Cowork interface still looks like the older version. The folder stays attached across sessions, I can add a new one mid-session, and Claude has read and write access.

I’ve gone through Settings, including trusted folders, and nothing helps. Is this just how it works now, or did I miss something?

also do all enterprise plans still use old cowork?

Max 20x subscriber here, and I'm an attorney. Projects was the reason I pay for Claude. It was simple: a folder for each case. Persistent files every chat could read, standing instructions, and a clean list of separate chats. One for the demand letter, one for discovery, one for a motion, all drawing on the same case file.

Today I made a new project and that's gone. Claude's own intro screen says it: "A project used to be a folder. Now it's one ongoing chat."

What you get now looks like a SaaS dashboard, not Claude.

There's one endless conversation with a coordinator bot. Your requests get spun off into threads in a side panel, sorted into "Working," "Idle," and "Waiting on you." There are status checklists, squiggly "New" lines, preview cards, an Overview tab and a Library. It even lives under Claude Code, which I've never used.

There's no list of chats, no simple project knowledge panel, and no toggle to go back. Old projects still work, but you can't make new ones that way. The only thing this shares with Projects is the name.

There was a recent post on a Claude code mod that is showing usage and some good stats during a session as sort of a small widget (check an image from the linkedin post).

Now this is great. But I am primarily a Cowork user and it would be awesome to have something similar.

Is there something out there that does this?

Cowork is dead for me.

After a certain number of runs (somewhere around 8k) my scheduled tasks in Cowork just stopped working. There is an issue with the underlying virtualization (at least on MacOS) missing garbage collection and failing to launch any sandbox. People have filed multiple bugs, it never gets fixed.

Super frustrating.

But Code seems to be able to do the job just as well. I had it reimplement an improved task scheduling, it now runs on launchd and is super flexible (on, off, pause all, continue all, increase cadence, busy hours, locks to avoid parallel runs, control UI, ...). The tasks can also use the Claude Chrome extension just fine.

Cowork tasks in the Cloud were not an option for me because the tasks need to drive Chrome.

/Title. Just curious if you ever archive old chats and what your decision for doing so is. I've been having a hard time finding things that I worked on recently because they're buried in a sea of chats within each project. I'm wondering if there's a better way? Anything to be aware of when archiving a chat within a project.

I'm a product designer and I spent about two years job searching. For the last few months, Cowork ran almost everything except the applications themselves. Sharing the setup because a few of the lessons weren't obvious to me going in.

What it did

- Checked about 9,000 company career pages four times a day and dropped new matching roles into a Google Sheet

- Opened the day's best matches in browser tabs every morning

- Read my Gmail and calendar twice a day and kept an interview tracker current: company, round, next call

- Drafted a follow-up to the recruiter after each application, saved to Gmail for me to review

What I'd tell anyone building something similar

1. Keep the heavy, repetitive work out of the agent. The board scraping runs as Apps Script inside the sheet. Cowork handles the parts that need judgment: matching, reading email threads, drafting. My early version had Cowork doing the scraping and it was slow and burned through my limits.

2. Writing into Sheets through Claude in Chrome is the fragile part. What fixed it: plain text only, never formulas, map columns by header name instead of letters, and do two-line cells in edit mode rather than through the name box.

3. Every automation is a markdown skill file. When something broke, I'd open a new task, hand Claude the file and the error, and it would fix its own instructions.

4. Leave the application itself manual. Auto-apply breaks on a lot of forms and recruiters can tell. Automating everything around it is what left me the energy to do that part well.

Once it was dialed in it took about 15 minutes a day. My last month I was in interview rounds with 16 companies and it ended with 3 offers. Timing and a refreshed portfolio had plenty to do with that, but staying early on new roles was the part I could control, and this is what made it possible.

Happy to answer questions about the setup.

Amigos soy nueva en claud, le he dejado tareas programadas como revisar correo y enviar unad evaluaciones diarias pero de dos diferentes computadoras y siempre tengo el problema que no sabe que buscador usar, un ejemplo las evaluaciones las dejo abiertas en la compu de la oficina y mi correo en la mia pero aun asi es un gran problema. Que no escribe contraseñas que no encuentra el buscador hay alguna forma?

I just hooked up Fable and Opus in my PyCharm project to work together!!

I had this idear Where you can send Claude tiktoks or insta reels and Claude analyses them and saves the learnings.
This is a briliand idear in my mind because we are all scrolling all the Day and what if we could send Claude Reels so Claude learns from the mass we what you are interessted in and what you think about things.
Now to the worat Part the technical solution? This is What im asking does anyone here has a solution to this?

Since cowork and chat have combined will this subreddit close and we will move over to a different one?

A few months ago I asked whether a PM should work in Claude Code or Cowork. The answer was almost unanimous: Claude Code, better output, more control.
Both tools have changed a lot since then, so I'm asking again.
My context: I'm not a developer. My work is docs, briefs, research synthesis, spreadsheets and slides. No code.
If you've used both recently:
• Do you still see a quality gap on non-code work? On which tasks?
• Were you using the same model on both?
• Is the IDE/terminal overhead worth it for a non-technical user?
Concrete examples are the most useful. "I gave X to both and got Y" beats "Code is just better."

I see some projects patching Claude Cowork to support RTL text (Persian, Arabic, Hebrew languages), but I don't want to risk my security.

I've noticed this becoming more frequent in the last two weeks. This happens even if I keep the session focused on one activity/topic and handing over to new sessions when we reach about 10 chats in a session.

It's wasting time and eating up tokens. Very annoyed by this.

Disclosure: this is our product, Elori, a commercial sales workspace. This is a practical setup guide, not an independent recommendation.

If you want Claude to work with CRM context without pasting records into each conversation:

1. Verify your Elori account and use Director (€30/month) or Autopilot (€100/month). MCP is not available on Assistant.
2. Connect your Google/Microsoft account inside Elori for the mail/calendar workflows you intend to use.
3. Add https://elori.app/mcp as a custom connector in Claude, where your plan/workspace allows it.
4. Complete OAuth and review the consent screen.
5. Start with a read-only request: “Discover the Elori pipeline and meeting actions, describe their inputs, then summarise my open deals. Do not modify anything.”

The server exposes discovery, action-description and action-execution tools. Catalogue visibility is not permission to execute everything: your Elori role, plan and required approvals still apply. A mailbox connection is separate from MCP consent.

For meeting campaigns, ask for a proposed draft before any activation. Do not let a prompt silently approve outreach, calendar writes or fees.

If a connection is denied, check verified email, Elori plan, client availability and workspace policy. Revocation is available in Elori's MCP settings.

## Reddit —  technical draft

### An OAuth MCP pattern for CRM workflows: discover, describe, then execute

Disclosure: this is our product, Elori. We are sharing a connector-design pattern, not claiming that our application source is open-source.

Our hosted sales MCP interface uses three tools:

- `elori_list_actions`: discover the reviewed action catalogue.
- `elori_describe_action`: inspect a specific action's argument schema and policy requirements.
- `elori_execute_action`: invoke an explicitly named action with its described arguments.

The important design choice is that discovery does not grant authority. An execution still goes through the user's current organisation, role, subscription, provider and required approval checks. MCP OAuth consent also does not connect a Google/Microsoft mailbox.

For a first client request, use a read-only pipeline summary. For a write, discover the action, describe the inputs, confirm the intended change, then execute only when applicable approvals allow it. Never blindly retry a write after a timeout with an unknown outcome.

Endpoint: https://elori.app/mcp
Transport: Streamable HTTP
Authentication: OAuth authorization code with PKCE S256
Elori access: Director or Autopilot; ChatGPT custom MCP availability depends on plan/workspace policy.

Hi, Anthropic blocking me to auto send my outlook draft. Is there a way to make it automatically send without approval?

Anybody else have all of their projects/chats downgraded? Was using Opus 5.5 on the majority, and everything, and I mean everything, got downgraded to Sonnet.

I want to ask the experts, I usually dont need more than my pro plan weekly quota, but for a couple of months I will be working on a project which needs a bit more quota than pro plan (my quota resets on Sunday morning and I am reaching the weekly limit by thursday afternoon / friday morning)

I use cowork mostly

I was thinking about upgrading to MAX but it is beyond my budget right now, so I though maybe get a team plan getting to seats, point them to the same memory folders md files, and use one account till its done and then the other.

What do you guys think, can this be done to work seamlessly?

Thanks in advance

The current ms365 connector is severely lacking when it comes to working with the 365 platform. It’s quite disappointing.

Where can I find a real ms365 connector that enables actual work with ms365? I don’t mean reading my emails, I mean adding users to groups, pulling data from intune, reporting or troubleshooting CA policy failures, building intune packages, license changes, editing user accounts, etc etc.

Copilot has a built in “Microsoft 365 admin” agent right out the box, is there anything official like this for Claude?

I know I can build something custom with MSgraph, but I’d much rather have something official that’s supported by at least one of the two companies involved. Anyone with any experience in this area?

Sempre tive uma habilidade para assinar documentos no zapsign inserindo meu nome, cpf e data de nascimento e coletando o código no meu e-mail.

Da ultima semana para cá o claude se recusa a preencher CPF e inserir o código que vem por e-mail por burlar regras de segurança.
Antes assinava 20 doc por dia, agora já está caindo no primeiro doc.

Isso é algo do Opus 5.5 ou de toda a política do claude?

I use the Microsoft 365 connector for Outlook every day. Claude writes great emails and saves them as drafts, but three things still keep me doing manual work:

1. Replies in the thread: I've noticed the connector has a reply-draft function. In my experience, though, Claude only creates a new draft instead of replying in the existing conversation. Has anyone found a reliable way to enforce this (skills, project instructions)?
2. Signature: Drafts created through Microsoft Graph don't get the Outlook signature, and inline images (logo) are rejected. Are you using a server-side signature tool (CodeTwo, Exclaimer, etc.)? Or is there a better way?
3. Attachments: This is the big one. Claude creates PDFs for me (letters, reports, meeting minutes), but I have to attach them to the draft myself. The connector doesn't seem to support attachments at all.

Has anyone built a working setup where Claude writes the reply and the generated PDF ends up attached to that draft automatically? I'm thinking of things like Power Automate flows, Outlook VBA macros, a custom MCP server with Graph's attachment endpoint, or browser automation.

I'd appreciate any setups that work for you. Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I ran into a critical issue with Claude Cowork and lost access to an ongoing task that contains hours of document analysis and extensive token usage.

In the session window, it says Desktop: Asleep or app closed. However, in my settings under Cowork local devices, I can see two entries for the same machine:

• Claude Desktop (Windows) (This computer, active right now)
• Desktop (Windows, last seen 5 days ago)

The task seems locked to the old Desktop profile instead of the currently running Claude Desktop (Windows) instance. The local files and folders (C:\Users\...\Desktop\Sprawa - Fable 5) are still physically on my drive and marked as trusted.

Is there any way to switch or reassign the active device in an existing Cowork chat so I don't lose the entire analysis history and context? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Update: Why is cowork not registering and following up on the questions it posses after I've answered them? Noted, cowork is not for scripts.

It sucks so bad. Is anyone else experiencing the same and or does anyone know how to fix this?

1. It doens't tell me what it's working on. I told it to tell me what it's doing before doing it and update it's memory for this. It helps a little but not really.
2. My bad, it only ran scripts because they where attached to skills I use: It runs scripts that break b.c. scripts can only run for like 30sec on cowork. It doens't notice that the script breaks and just sits there waiting. I don't know that it's waiting because it actually tells me that it's computing/working on something which I can't really see what it is doing so I'm waiting on it to finish up.
3. The most annoying to me: It asks me questions, I answer the questions, it shows it's computing and nothing happens for the next 30min until I ask what it's doing. Then it tells me it forgot to ask me the questions and prompts me with the same questions again but missing the last one of the bunch. So if it was origionally 4 questions the second time its 3 questions and it just picks what it recommended for the 4th question regardless of my response. This is not a one off either but keeps happening.

The one upside is that it seems to be cheaper than claude code in a vacuum but at least claude code gets the job done.

Since May I've been building a desktop agent that works in a folder you pick: it reads the files, writes new ones and asks before it changes anything. It started as a way to understand how Claude Code works, and about half of the commits were then written with Claude Code.

People keep asking how it compares to Cowork, so here's the honest version.

**Cowork is better at:** frontier models, finished Office documents, scheduled tasks while your laptop is off, isolation on every platform, and a big ecosystem (connectors, sub-agents, computer use). If you need that, use Cowork.

**Where mine differs:**

* Open source (Apache 2.0), no account, no telemetry.
* Any model per conversation: Claude with your own API key, OpenAI, Google, or local via Ollama, LM Studio or MLX. With a local model, your files never leave the disk.
* Asks before every change; shell commands are off until you switch them on.

**What it can't do yet:** no sandbox on Windows, unsigned builds, text files only, nothing runs while the app is closed.

If you use Cowork: what would you miss first without it?

hey everyone, my Claude usage reset at 10:00am PST today. I checked the Usage page around 11:15am and Cowork was already at 70%, with Claude Code at 30%. That's only about an hour and 15 minutes in.

I did run a few things in Cowork during that time, but nothing that felt heavy enough to eat most of a week's usage. Screenshot attached.

Has anyone else seen usage climb this fast right after a reset? Is Cowork just really expensive, is something running in the background, or am I misreading the page and this is only showing how my usage is split between products?

Would appreciate hearing what you guys are seeing.

I built Glance, an iOS app that lets Claude create, design, and update widgets directly on your iPhone Home Screen.

I used Claude extensively while building it, both for development and for figuring out how the agent interaction should work. Claude helped me write and debug parts of the Swift/WidgetKit implementation, work through the MCP integration, design the tool schemas Claude uses to create widgets, and iterate on how generated UIs get translated into something that actually works inside an iOS widget.

More recently I built an MCP specifically so Claude itself can interact with Glance.

The interesting part for me is that Claude is no longer just helping build the app. It can now actually become part of the product.

For example, I can connect Claude to Glance and ask:
“Create a Home Screen widget that shows me the two latest Claude/Anthropic stories.”

Claude can create the widget, choose the layout, populate it, and later update the content again through the MCP.

Some other things people have made:
language-learning flash cards
personal news widgets
email/Slack summaries
daily briefs and progress trackers
puzzles and riddles
shared widgets that other people can follow

One thing I found surprisingly difficult was giving an LLM enough control over the UI without letting it generate layouts that break WidgetKit’s fairly constrained environment. A lot of the work ended up being around defining a component system and tool interface that gives Claude flexibility while still keeping the output valid.

The project is free to try, including the Claude/MCP connection.

If anyone here is experimenting with MCP or agent-generated interfaces, I’d especially be interested in your thoughts on this approach.
