Claude Cowork Consulting · 1:1 · From $249
Claude Cowork consulting is hiring someone to set up Anthropic's desktop agent properly. We install it on your machine, build folder routines that watch the folders you already have, schedule tasks that run while you sleep, and connect Drive, Gmail, and the apps your work lives in. No terminal, no IT ticket, no learning curve.
Why Hire Someone
Anthropic shipped Cowork to the Pro and Max plan you already pay for. Most people who pay for it never set it up beyond the chat window. They miss the part where Cowork can read a folder, write back to it, run on a Monday at 7am, and finish a draft before you walk into your office.
The setup itself is not hard. The judgement calls are. Which folders should Cowork have access to. Which connectors are useful and which create noise. Which scheduled tasks are worth wiring up and which are vanity. Which permissions to leave on auto and which to keep on confirm. A consulting day is the version of Cowork tuned to your week, not Anthropic's defaults tuned to nobody's.
The fee is small compared to what you are already paying for the licence and not using.
What You Actually Get
Your standing instructions for every Cowork session. Tone, format, what gets surfaced for your decision, what Cowork is allowed to do without asking. Tested against your real work, pruned to what actually changes behaviour.
Three to six folders Cowork is allowed to read and write. Each one with its own playbook: drop a transcript here and the synthesis appears, drop a contract there and the summary appears next to it.
Drive, Gmail, Calendar, Notion, Slack, Docusign, your CRM. We turn on the ones that fit your week and skip the ones that create noise. The judgement call is what we get paid for.
A weekly digest at 6am Monday. A monthly summary the day before it goes out. The work that takes hours, on a recurring schedule, finished before you start your day.
Cowork's plugin library has dozens of pre-built integrations. Most people install three at random and never come back. We pick the ones that map to your actual workflow and configure each one properly.
Ask-before-acting on the folders you want eyes on. Act-without-asking on the routines you trust. Deletion always confirmed. The settings most people never get around to configuring.

Who You Are Hiring
WorkWise Academy is run by Dr. Leigh Coney, whose PhD is in how humans interact with emerging technology. The piece that matters more for you is that we run Cowork on the same Macs we will be sitting next to during your session. The folder routines, the scheduled tasks, the global instructions, the connector permissions, all of it lives on our own machines as the test case. We ship our own work through it before we recommend any of it to you.
Privacy: Cowork runs on your machine, in your account, with your data. We do not need access to your accounts beyond the session itself. Standard NDA available on request.
Want the terminal version? See Claude Code consulting instead. Same engine, with a CLI, built for technical users.
