In this episode I break down Claude Code and Claude Cowork, two tools from Anthropic that have taken the AI space by storm, and allow Claude to actually execute tasks on your computer instead of just chatting with you. This episode covers what each tool does, how they're different from each other (and from regular LLMs like ChatGPT), what “agentic” AI actually means, who each tool is for, and what to know about safety and usage limits before jumping in.
