The free guide

Chat, Cowork
or Code?

Three Claudes, one rule: match the tool to where the work lives. Words live in Chat. Your files live in Cowork. Anything you want built lives in Code. Here is the full breakdown from the reel.

the chat

Claude

The conversation. Thinking, writing, planning, and anything where the output is words or ideas rather than files. If you would do the task in a document or in your head, do it here.

the coworker

Claude Cowork

Claude with hands on your folders and apps. Point it at messy real-world work: renaming and sorting files, filling spreadsheets, repetitive multi-step chores you would normally grind through yourself.

the builder

Claude Code

Claude in the terminal. Anything technical or buildable: websites, scripts, data pipelines, automations. You do not need to be a programmer, you just need to describe what you want built.

The six use cases

  1. 01

    Making landing pages

    Claude Code

    It scaffolds the project, writes the code, runs it locally, and can even deploy it. Describe the page you want and iterate on what you see. This site was built exactly this way.

  2. 02

    Writing

    Claude

    Drafts, rewrites, captions, essays, emails. Chat is the fastest loop for words: paste context, shape the tone, iterate line by line. No setup, no files needed.

  3. 03

    Analyzing data

    Claude Code

    Give it a CSV or a folder of exports and it writes and runs real analysis code instead of eyeballing numbers. You get charts, summaries, and the script to rerun next time.

  4. 04

    Repetitive tasks

    Claude Cowork

    The stuff you do weekly on autopilot: cleaning up downloads, standardizing filenames, moving rows between spreadsheets, batch edits. Describe the chore once and let it run.

  5. 05

    Editing videos

    Claude Code

    Trims, captions, format conversions, batch exports. It drives ffmpeg and render pipelines for you, so a one-off edit becomes a one-line request instead of a timeline session.

  6. 06

    Managing your files

    Claude Cowork

    It can see your folders, so it can sort, rename, archive, and deduplicate against what is actually there instead of you dragging things around one by one.

If you only remember one thing

Ask where the finished work ends up. In a doc or a message, use Claude. In your folders or spreadsheets, use Claude Cowork. As something running, a site, a script, an automation, use Claude Code.
