Three tabs · three jobs.

Chat
Think with Claude

Turn-by-turn conversation. You stay in the driver’s seat — drafting, brainstorming, asking.

Cowork
Delegate to Claude

Hand over a whole job and come back to a finished deliverable. Schedule it. Run it from your phone.

Code
Let Claude run things

Claude in your terminal with file access. Routines that fire on schedule, on push, or on demand.

The kitchen analogy

Skills, Connectors & Plugins — explained with food.

Skills
= Recipes

How to cook a dish. Reusable instructions that teach Claude your tone, format, or workflow.

Connectors
= Power outlets

Plug Claude into your appliances — Gmail, Drive, HubSpot, Notion — so it can read & write there.

Plugins
= Starter kits

A whole boxed kitchen: recipes + outlets + tools, packaged for one role or workflow.
