Does it cost me $10 per run? Yes. Is it worth every penny? Absolutely.

      Hopefully it won’t go the way of the Zune (why was brown even a color option!?!). It genuinely helps my small business. 🤷

          Ah, great question. I use it to build first drafts of thing that would take me several hours to do myself. So not only is it faster, I’m able to complete other work while the agent is working. My productivity has gone up 50-100%. I can’t afford to hire another me, so this helps to bridge the gap.

          Specific example: Today it rebuilt a 30 slide training deck while I did some marketing tasks and troubleshooted a Google/Outlook calendar issue created by a new hire. When Cowork was done I reviewed and modified the training deck. Time saved ~5 hours.

              I tell it and provide source materials. I’m getting better at providing the right guidance and content to get decent results. If you give it terrible direction, it will completely shit the bed.

              Edit: you gotta treat it like a brand new employee who has terrible judgement. If you offer that level of direction, then it works pretty well.
