How I Would Explain What Claude Cowork Is to a 5 Year Old

Описание: If you've seen people talking about Claude Cowork online but still aren't sure what it actually is or why it matters — this video explains the whole thing from scratch in the simplest way I can.

Cowork has three levels. Most people only know about Level 1. But Level 3 is the reason two hundred and eighty-five billion dollars got wiped off the stock market in a single day.

I walk through:
What Cowork is and how it's different from just chatting with an AI
Level 1 — organising messy folders by understanding what's inside each file
Level 2 — handling entire multi-step tasks from a single plain English instruction
Level 3 — the eleven specialist plugins for sales, finance, legal, marketing, and more
How the whole thing was built by four people in ten days with Claude writing its own code
Where Cowork is heading and why the trajectory matters
If you keep hearing about Cowork but want someone to explain it properly without assuming you're a developer, this video will get you fully up to speed.
