Setting up a workspace and having a clear structure made a huge difference for me. As a newcomer to Claude Cowork, it really accelerated my integration, reducing both the effort and preparation time needed.

Jeff Su & team - I am DEVOURING The Cowork Academy lessons. Thank you thank you THANK YOU for creating this. I am already halfway through the course, and feeling my nerves and apprehension about "am I using Clause in an effective way?!" decreasing by the lesson.
Keep doing great work! A thankful student,

Claude knowing my context from the get go every single time is a huge time-saver and also has improved the quality/capabilities of my workflow. It does take some time to set it up but the more I use it the better it gets!

Awesome course Jeff! I learned so much. Well thought out and complete. I just got my daughter to purchase the course as she starts her Claude journey. I'm excited to see how we both progress our Command Centers! Can't wait for the 'bonus' course on mounting the Google Drive ;)

First time taking one of your courses, and honestly, the first time I’ve ever paid for a program like this. I’ve gained so much value from your YouTube content that I decided to invest in myself here.
I fell into the trap of trying to optimize my tools instead of actually getting things done.
I finally came to the conclusion that buying a system thats 90% complete, and learning from that elevated baseline, is a much better choice to conquer the AI overwhelm and just start executing. Excited to be here and ready to find some clarity!

Jeff has a wonderful teaching style and really introduced the basics and the logic of co-work very well. I layer co-work on top of Tana Outliner, and it's just an extraordinary combination. Jeff's thought process has helped me open up a world of possibility in working with my Tana setup.

I have started to discover the power of 'context' when working with Claude and Jeff's setup takes that to the next level by integrating the way you think about your entire life (Second Brain) as context for what you want Claude to do next.
The Cowork Toolkit is a simple demonstration of how every interaction can help Claude learn more about the way you work.

Great course sir! Builds well from the YT channel - I'd set up most of this from those videos, yet the extra pieces, updated and deeper resources were ace! Would love a module on Design (expanding from that video on your YT channel), and teaching HOW it can interact (if possible) with your Command Center!

Establishing the different workstations had the biggest impact for me. I now can just start a new Cowork session and even I just vaguely touch on the subject, it feels like Claude has read my mind and routes it correctly.
It's made my work with AI really efficient, because I don't feel like I need to spend time explaining things every. single. time.

Hi Jeff, I admit I was sitting on the fence about whether this course was going to be value for money, having followed your free videos and set up my Cowork AI assistant. I am now so glad I did. This course is excellent and is so much more than what I already had. Great work and thanks

I only “tick” a couple of the boxes in the Academy, since I’m retired, 85, and not particularly active on social media. YouTube is about as far as I go—I’m not involved with teams or chats, and I tend to keep my email responses to a minimum.
That said, I’ve enjoyed following along and have picked up quite a bit from your emails. You have a very engaging way of presenting the material, and I’m glad I took the time to participate.
Thanks again, Jeff, and keep up the good work!

PS. I'm always eager to learn new tricks, especially Ai.

I have been using Co-work for about three months and have used some of Jeff's templates to get started. Also, I've been improvising over the last few months, and so far it is doing pretty good for me, but this course is something else. It gives me a much better understanding of the theory and the logic behind a lot of the things. In fact, I went back to my own Claude.md file, and there are some of the things that I didn't know why the replies came out a certain way that I did not like, but now, after taking the course and going back into this file, it makes much more sense. I'm able to make a much better edit on the file and get better results, so thank you. Very awesome so far.

If you've been an avid follower of Jeff since his Google Workspace tutorials and TF's PARA methodology, like me, you will find this toolkit extremely coherent and useful. I was lost in a sea of Claude Chat and Cowork sessions before this. Thanks to this toolkit, I now have a way to beautifully structure my Claude Cowork setup to take care of my OCD-like needs with the project and resources hierarchy. To top it all off, I've been able to create new projects and skills in a week's time. Thanks Jeff. Can't wait for the academy to start!

This was a great course. Your parting words are important as I found myself throughout the course trying to think of all the ways to perfect this. Technical question: I have a MacBook but use OneDrive at work. Will placing my primary directory in OneDrive with "Always Keep on Device" work as far as you know? If there is any question that this won't work, I'll just keep this directory on my local drive.

Jeff, Your work is has already started to have some ripple effects. Before enrolling in this course, I watched your YouTube videos (and others) on Cowork. I was intrigued. Cowork alone would not have taken to me to where I wanted to go and I may not have really done all that much with Cowork. Your video and tools presented on YouTube convinced me Cowork was going to be truly useful to me. The quality of information you provided further convinced me to make the investment in this course and templates to take my own Cowork efforts up several notches sooner than later. Thank you Jeff!

As a professional in the education/curriculum design business, kudos to you, Jeff, for making your course engaging, informative, and fun! I know not many will appreciate the blood, sweat, and tears that go into making effective curriculum, but I do, and I appreciate it. Personally, I very much appreciated the reinforcement that we don't need to have everything set up 'perfectly' right from the start and, in fact, it's better if it isn't, as the system will learn and grow with us as we use it. My Type A heart needed to hear that. Thanks again for a wonderful course and high-quality materials!

Thank you, Jeff. This was an amazing course and a fantastic system.
I took a lot of templates and tried many systems, most of which were not very flexible and could not use them long term.
But this system, I feel it matches the way I think and organize stuff in my brain, which is why I love it so much.
I wish you all the best.

In the last week since I have started using Cowork I have been able to reduce the time and stress on projects and tasks that I used to dread. The two most recent examples include using cowork with my Canva conncector to help draft an article on birding for our resort, and drafting out follow up emails to about 20 incoming clients. These tasks would have taken one to several hours and Cowork cut that time in half. If you are on the fence, I encourage you to give it a try. Once you understand how it actually works you will see it is less intimidating than you think.

I absolutely love your teaching style - concise, fun, engaging. Can't ask for much more! Thank you for this... this is going to take everything I'm doing to an entirely new level.

Just finished the course and I am excited to challenge my new AI Command Center. Jeff's Cowork Academy really does provide everything you need for a self-improving system right out of the box. That's the key, its a full up system with all the mechanisms to keep it tight and running smoothly into the future. I had already spent a number of months building my previous Cowork setup and was pretty damn happy with the results, but it felt like things were getting sloppy. Now I'm much more confident that I will continue to harness the goodness of Cowork, that my command center will get smarter every day, and that I have the tools to properly maintain it and avoid the pitfalls I was seeing without Jeff's help.

The biggest impact was the setup of the system itself: CLAUDE.md, MEMORY.md, ARCHIVE.md, and so on. Sample prompts definitely helped provide the right instructions to get started.
As you expected, I quickly began to build on the foundation you provided. However, for some reason, Codex was better at understanding what I needed, while Cowork required precise guidance to the point where its "intelligence" – artificial, but still intelligence, right? – started to diminish for me. At some point, the progressive reading of CLAUDE.md (root → Workspace) stopped working. That's on Anthropic. But if someone will watch your video where you describe the setup, they will likely be frustrated when they will try to setup it themselves.
Ultimately, you provided what I couldn't find from other sources: simplicity and clarity. There are too many sources and too many systems – every author uses their own, sometimes needlessly sophisticated systems.
To those who just starting with your setup process I would say to start slowly, adapt details to your own needs and style of working, but lean to Jeff's simple structure, always keep it in mind. If you ever feel system becomes complex – step back, return to Jeff's basics and reduce complexity: use file pointers, progressive disclosure. AI can bloat instructions up very fast if left unchecked.
But very soon you'll get to the point where you'll accelerate to the point of being unstoppable.
