> What about "cowork", aiming to be the claude code of excel files and pdfs and screenshotting your desktop to tell you what's wrong?

I’ve been using these types of functions for a while for some specific use cases, and it’s super useful for this. Eg go into my budgeting app and explain to me why a certain discrepancy between forecast and actual occurred, which would otherwise cost me a huge amount of time.

I’ve also been using Cowriter AI, which actively learns from what you’re doing by taking screenshots of your screen every few seconds.

These types of utilities are just starting, they’re underexplored, and will definitely burn lots of tokens (while creating value).
