00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:25.715
I built a Claude co work operating system, and it just changed how I work forever. Claude is an incredibly powerful tool, and most people don't even realize even half of its capabilities. That's because there are three key things that make a co work operating system actually work, and most people are only using one of them. This AI operating system that I created gives me real time updates across my entire business. It automatically shows me important emails, my social channel statistics,

00:00:25.795 --> 00:01:30.020
and even my entire business's financial data, all inside of Clot. And this is a fundamental shift in how we interact with our different applications. So in this video, I'm gonna break down what a Clot operating system is, go over the three key things that make it possible, and walk you through exactly how you can create your own. So without further ado, let's dive in. Alright. So to kick things off, I wanna show you my Claude Cowork operating systems so you can get a sense of just how powerful this is when we combine all these different tools I'm gonna show you in this video. So first of all, this is what we see. We have a home page. I have my top three signals for the day, which are basically the main tasks that I need to get done that are the most important to me. I can then see everything that's going on inside of my content pipeline, today's plans, my specific revenue goals, and where I'm at compared to those, and it shows all my different skills as well. And then at the very bottom, I could even see every single task that Claudette Cowork did for me the past two days. Next, I have a menu bar on the top right here that you can see. If I click on today, I can see my today's plan. So this pulls from my Google Calendar, and it pulls from my email, and it automatically categorizes

00:01:30.020 --> 00:02:03.710
which emails are the most urgent for me to reply to. So that way I could get a sense of what's going on inside of my email inbox without me needing to be inside of Gmail. Next, I have a goals and revenues tab that basically breaks down where I am at in terms of my school revenue goals. It shows how many different members I have, my retention and engagement, basically everything school related that I need to see directly right here. On top of that, I could see every single statistic that I need to know about my YouTube channel without me needing to log in the YouTube studio. I even get this twenty eight day trend of how many views my channel is getting as well as how many subscribers.

00:02:03.790 --> 00:02:07.470
I then have this finances tab that automatically pulls from QuickBooks

00:02:07.635 --> 00:03:32.360
and shows my profit and loss statement that I used to have my accountant send to me. I do wanna preface that this is not my actual revenue. I did not wanna, you know, share that with you because that is private information, but this could pull directly from QuickBooks and basically give you a profit and loss statement without you needing to log in to QuickBooks. Next, I could see all the agents that I have running across my business with all the scheduled tasks. It shows when these are running, the last time it ran, etcetera, but it even shows the ones that are disabled. Next, I have this diagrams tab that automatically breaks down some complex things for me to understand. So for example, this breaks down my YouTube to school community funnel. I have another one that shows my daily content pipeline. So this is a chain of different skills that I use inside of Claude, and it's just giving me a visual of what that looks like as well as this is a diagram right here breaking down how exactly my Claude CoWork operating system works. And last of all, I could see every single skill that I have directly inside of Claude right here so I could remember which ones I have in order to use them. Now this is a very high level overview of my CloudCowork operating system that I'm gonna break down in this video and show you why you need to have one on your own and how to build it from scratch so you could begin stitching these different applications you use and turn it into basically an entire operating system you could run your business through. Alright. So if you want the exact template that I use in order to generate my operating system that looks exactly like mine, then the template will be available in my school community. So if you come to classroom, come to community exclusives,

00:03:32.360 --> 00:03:37.085
and click on the Claude CoWork OS page right here. You will then see this breakdown

00:03:37.085 --> 00:03:45.245
along with the actual HTML file and a PDF guide breaking down exactly how to do this. So in order to do this, you just click download HTML,

00:03:45.245 --> 00:05:07.175
drag this onto your desktop, and then simply upload this to the Claude CoWork app, and it will begin building this for you. Once you upload it, it's gonna look exactly like this, and you'll just need to customize it for your specific use cases, but it will have all these different pages. It'll have this today's plan breakdown, the different goals, and whatnot. It'll have financials right here. You just need to connect your QuickBooks. So you just need to connect all of your different apps as well as explain what you wanted to populate inside of your operating system, and you'll have all this built directly inside of here for you. And if you'd rather build this from scratch yourself, you could obviously do that. It's just gonna take a little bit more work, and I wanted to give you the option to steal this exact same template that I have. Alright. So before I dive in and show you exactly how to begin building out your own cloud co work operating system, we need to first talk about why this even matters and why you should begin crafting your own. And the main premise I wanna touch on here is that how we work is changing every single day, and this is only gonna accelerate more and more as AI becomes more prevalent in our lives. How we're familiar with working on your computer is exactly like this. Today, we are stuck between all of our different applications, whether we're using Gmail, Google Calendar, Notion, Slack, Stripe, any of the different apps we use. We have to hop to and from them in different tabs on our computer. This has worked up until this point with no problems because that's all we've known. But now with things like Cloud Code, Cloud Cowork, and all of these agentic AI systems,

00:05:07.255 --> 00:05:11.015
there's a whole new paradigm of how we're gonna interface with these different applications.

00:05:11.095 --> 00:05:23.260
And we're going to be doing that with an AI operating system, and this is a little graphic of what this looks like. So we could have all of our main points from our email inbox, everything from our Google Calendar, our social channels,

00:05:23.420 --> 00:05:43.340
and basically everything we need to do inside of one unified dashboard that we work inside of on our computer. Alright. So let me break down in simple terms what an operating system is. So literally anybody can understand it. So you can understand why we actually need to build one and why it's actually gonna be helpful for us. So an operating system is a layer for our applications.

00:05:43.340 --> 00:06:36.665
So on the left hand side, you're probably used to, like, Mac OS or iOS for your iPhone. This is basically how we interact with applications directly on our devices. Another one is Windows and Android. These are different operating systems that we use in order to interface with technology. And as AI is becoming more and more prominent inside of our lives, it's gonna completely change the way that we interact with these apps because we don't need to necessarily be inside of them to make changes and to pull up data and information. We can now build our own AI operating system and customize it to however we want it to look. And this is a fundamental shift in how we use technology in the past. Alright. So I wanna quickly talk to you about why we're doing this inside of Claude Cowork and not inside of Claude Code. And that is because a new feature that Cloud just released inside of Cowork that honestly is probably one of my favorite features I've ever seen across any Cloud product, and that is live artifacts.

00:06:36.585 --> 00:07:01.875
If you don't know what a live artifact is, let me break it down right now incredibly simply. This is basically a way that we could create interactive dashboards that pull information from any of the different applications that we use in real time. So instead of us building a static HTML page that we have to go and tell Claude to regenerate a new one for, this automatically will pull the data in real time as it's happening from your different applications.

00:07:02.035 --> 00:07:25.200
For example, let me show you this right here. So this is my Bitly links live artifact that automatically pulls from Bitly, which is a tool and application that I use in order to track how many people are clicking on specific links I add to my videos. So I could see in real time how many people are clicking on them. This updates without me needing to refresh it. And I can now do this instead of needing to come to bitly.com

00:07:25.200 --> 00:07:35.245
and look through every single one of my links and see this information this way, I could just open up inside of Claude my live artifact that automatically lives in my sidebar.

00:07:35.325 --> 00:09:17.960
I could just click on this where it says Bitly dashboard at any time, and it has live up to date information. This is basically my custom app that I could access at any time. I can almost guarantee some of you are asking this question, and that is, Brock, why are we doing this inside of Claude Cowork and not inside of Claude Code like all the other YouTubers are showing me how to do. And there are a couple of different reasons for that, so let me explain right now. One of the reasons is that connectors are one click. It literally takes a couple of minutes, and you could connect to all the different apps you wanna use directly to our operating system. We have live artifacts, which I'm gonna talk about later in this video, that make it extremely easy to automatically pull information from all the apps you use and then auto populate it onto a dashboard that we could use directly inside of Claude and access it at any time. Cowork has a scheduled task feature that is built directly in so we could automatically pull information from different places and run automations on autopilot to then populate our live artifact or our Cowork operating system. And we don't need to use a terminal. There's no complex setup. This is very simple to do inside of Claude, inside the desktop app. So that is why we are doing this inside of Cowork and not Code. I will say you can do the same thing inside of Claude Code. It's just a little bit more complex. You can probably do a bit more inside of Claude Code, but it's not for everybody. And after teaching tens of thousands of people on how to use Claude, I genuinely do think CoWork is probably the better platform for them because it gets 90% of the things done for you, and it's much simpler. Before we can begin building out our operating system, we need to first download the Claude desktop app. So there's gonna be a link in the description to download this. If you haven't done this already, we cannot build this directly inside of the normal Claude chat mode in the browser. We need to be using the desktop app, so make sure to download that now. Once you have that downloaded,

00:09:17.960 --> 00:09:59.105
this is what it's gonna look like. So let me break down the Clawd app for you very simply if you've never used this before. So this right here is our chat mode. It's basically like using normal Clawd or ChatchaPT. We just go back and forth. They will answer questions, pull from our different applications. That's all great, but we can't use live artifacts in order to generate an operating system. So what we wanna do is we wanna come over to the left hand sidebar right here, and you could see we're on chat mode. We wanna select this middle icon. This is Claude Cowork if you've never used it before, so make sure to open that up now. So this is what it looks like when we're inside of Claudette Cowork. And what we need to first of all do is make sure we are selecting a specific folder on our computer to work inside of. If you're unfamiliar with Cowork, let me break it down in, like, 10.

00:09:59.105 --> 00:10:22.315
So we can work inside of different folders on our computer. It could create files, add them to those folders, and do a bunch of different work directly on our desktop. So we need to enable a workspace or a folder so it could work inside of that. So I'm gonna click on this, and let's say we want to create a new folder to work inside of. We're just gonna click on choose a different folder. From here, we're just gonna name one. Let's just call this Claude OS.

00:10:22.395 --> 00:11:08.310
Click open. Click allow so it could generate these different documents and stuff, and now we are working inside of this. And then what I highly suggest you do is search up on your computer. That folder you just created, you could see that I now have this claud OS folder on my computer. I'm just gonna drag this onto my desktop so that way I could always see this and access it whenever I need. Any of the files that we generate will live inside of this folder that's living on my desktop, and we could see it at any time. Alright. We got our working folder set up inside of Claude. Now what I'm gonna show you is my co work operating system that I have pinned on the left hand side. If you see my little blue rectangle here, you could see exactly where this lives. So it's always pinned on the left hand sidebar. I could click on co work operating system, pull this up, and this is automatically gonna populate with this information from my different applications.

00:11:08.390 --> 00:11:16.935
So I could go through. I could see all the emails and stuff that I need to reply to. I could see my goals updated in real real time. I could see my financials. I could see my agents,

00:11:17.095 --> 00:13:26.970
all of my different diagrams and my skills. So let me show you now how we could begin crafting our own operating system. So in order to create your own, there's a couple of ways that you can do this. The first one I'm gonna show you is coming to the live artifacts section right here in the left hand sidebar. So if I click on this, you can see we have a couple of different live artifacts that I've created. I have my co work operating system. I have my daily wrap up. I have my mastermind offer map, brand deal operating system. So just a bunch of different artifacts that I have living inside of here. And anytime you create a artifact, it will live right here. You could always access it on the left hand sidebar. So what I'm gonna do is I'm just gonna click on new artifact. Click create with Claude, and it's now gonna take me to this chat where I'm just gonna explain exactly what it is that I'm trying to build. So I'm not gonna bore you guys going back and forth with Claude in order to create my operating system since I already have mine created. But what I'm gonna do now is show you the key steps you need to do in order to make sure that your operating system is functioning how you want it to. So the first thing that you need to do is give access to all of the connectors inside of Claude. So that way Claude can pull information from your different applications. So if you don't know what a connector is, basically, this allows you to connect all of your different applications to Claude. So for example, we could add our Gmail, our calendar, Notion, Stripe, YouTube, Google Drive. Any of these different apps that Claude connects to, we could pull information from and even post information to. To show you inside of my OS, this is how I'm actually pulling emails in real time from my email inbox. I'm not going and having Claude manually scrape this. It just does this because it has access to it via these connectors. So let me show you now how to set this up for yourself. In order to add our different applications, on the left hand sidebar, we're gonna see this customize button. So make sure to click on that. I know a lot of people have a hard time finding that. And then on the top left, we're gonna see skills, and we're gonna see connectors. Obviously, click on connectors. Right here, I have a bunch of different ones connected. I have Bitly. I have Platato, Canva, Firecrawl, GitHub, Gmail, basically, all these different apps that I'm connected to. I could see directly inside of this Claude dashboard. Now in order to add our different apps, we're just gonna come over here to this plus button, click on browse connectors,

00:13:27.050 --> 00:14:41.900
and there's tons of different apps that you could connect to directly inside of Claude, Microsoft Learn, Airtable, Zapier, DocuSign, Vercel. Tons and tons of different apps you could use. So go through here. Odds are you probably can't find the app you connect to. And in order to connect it, all you have to do is just click on plus, click connect. It's gonna pull this up in the browser. You just need to make sure to sign in to your account. And for example, inside of ClickUp, all I had to do is click on connect, and it should pull us back to Claude, and we will have this set up properly. So now that I have this ClickUp connector selected, it could now do all of these things on my behalf. So it could get different task comments. It can get task time entries. Basically, anything that you could do inside of ClickUp manually, you could actually do directly inside of this connector. So I'm just gonna select always allow so it doesn't constantly ask me if it's able to go and grab information. However, do that at your own risk, but this is how it's gonna be able to auto populate my live artifact or my, you know, Claude co work operating system. Alright. So what I'm gonna talk about now really gives Claude superpowers, and believe me, you do not wanna skip this part because this is crucial if we wanna have the best Claude co work operating system that's pulling information from all the different sources that we want to use. So we need to use something called scrapers in order to pull information

00:14:41.900 --> 00:14:43.180
from different sources.

00:14:43.420 --> 00:16:06.860
So for me, my YouTube channel statistics, the way I'm able to pull this information is through a scraper called Firecrawl. Same thing for my Instagram follower account. It's actually going and scraping Instagram since Claude isn't able to do that manually, and this is all done directly inside of FireCrawl. So those use cases were all content related, and that might only apply to me and maybe not you. But there's a bunch of other things that you need to use a scraper for like FireCrawl, and let me break that down now. So for example, if you need to track competitor pricing for a software product, for example, you could have FireCrawl automatically scrape a competitor's website and then update you in real time inside of Claude in your operating system that they change their pricing. We can also scrape for new reviews on Google or Amazon, different brand mentions across the web, local search rank for your city. These are all very small tasks, but you can't do them unless you're using a scraper. So let me show you now how to set this up. Alright. So personally, I'm using Firecrawl. I've just found it's the easiest and the best to use. Here is the pricing because I know you guys are probably interested in that. You can use a free plan with the ability to scrape over 1,000 pages. I highly suggest to start here. And if you need to upgrade, upgrade to the hobby plan. It's $20 a month. But if you guys are running this religiously, then this should probably be enough, or you could upgrade to the other plans later. Alright. So I'm gonna show you how to set this up in under two minutes. So first of all, go to the link that I have in the description. This is gonna be the documentation.

00:16:06.940 --> 00:16:17.615
We basically just need to copy this remote hosted URL right here that we can see right here. Then we're gonna come back to Claude. And inside of Claude, we need to come over to customize

00:16:17.615 --> 00:16:50.975
and add a new connector. Once we're inside of connectors, we're gonna click on this plus button and click add custom connector. We're just gonna give this a name. I'm gonna call it FireCrawl, and then we need to paste in that remote server URL that we just got from the FireCrawl site. Next up, what we need to do is add our custom FireCrawl API key right here. So let me show you how to do that very simply. So we're gonna come back to the FireCrawl site. We're gonna click on this installation link where it says you could get your API keys. So we're gonna click on that. And I have mine right here. I'm just gonna copy this. We're gonna come back to Claude.

00:16:50.975 --> 00:17:10.180
And simply, inside of this bracket, we're just gonna paste in that API key. So I'm gonna select everything from bracket to bracket, and I'm gonna paste this in. I'm not gonna show you guys this right here because I don't wanna leak my API keys. And just like that, we now have our FireCrawl integration set up. All I need to do now is come here and click on customize.

00:17:10.180 --> 00:17:25.335
I'm gonna click always allow so that way it doesn't need to always ask for my permission in order to do things, order to browse and crawl different sites. Now this is exactly how my operating system is able to go and scrape my YouTube channel to show me live up to date statistics

00:17:25.415 --> 00:18:25.130
on this because otherwise, Claude would not be able to pull this or would have to use Claude in Chrome, and that is just a hassle. So, yeah, FireCrawl is extremely powerful when you're needing to pull information from different sources on the Internet. Alright. So since we're on the topic of connectors and giving Claude access to the different apps so we could add this into our operating system, let's say that there's a specific app you wanna use directly inside of Claude and you don't see it in the list that it gives you. Well, I'm gonna show you a quick hack right now that will solve that problem for you. I personally use something called Zapier, which is an automation platform that's been around forever that connects to 9,000 plus different apps that we could pull directly into Claude. So I'm just gonna click on add here, and what it's gonna do is it's pull up Zapier MCP. Make sure you have an account if you don't have one already. I mean, you guys, you don't need to use this. You only need to use this if there's apps that you wanna use directly inside of Claude that, you know, don't have natural integrations there. So I can imagine that a lot of you guys are running into this problem, so this will solve that for you. Next, we need to just come to zapier.com/mcp.

00:18:25.130 --> 00:20:52.105
There's also gonna be a link in the description to do so. And then we need to set up an MCP server. I'm gonna show you how to do this in, like, thirty seconds. So we click on new MCP server, and then from here, we need to select our client as Claude CoWork since that is where we're working. And then as you could see, I have a couple of different tools that I've preconfigured here. So these are apps that I could then use directly inside of Claude. So what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna click on add tools and just search for any of the apps that we use on a day to day basis. Alright. So let's say we wanna use SynthFlow, which is an AI voice calling platform. I could just select this. Click on select all tools so it's able to perform all these different actions for us. Click on connect, and it's probably gonna take us over to SynthFlow in order to authenticate this. And just like that, we now have this added. So there would be no other way for us to use SynthFlow inside of Claude unless we are using an MCP server like this. Next, we just come to connect. Click add to Claude. Connect it. And then once we do that, we can now use these apps that we have inside of that MCP server. So there we go. Now all the different apps that I personally use and I wanna add to my operating system are connected. Let's say that you wanna connect your CRM like ClickUp or monday.com or something. You could go ahead and do that and then pull information directly in your operating system. So that way, don't need to log in to ClickUp to see what your team's been working on for the day. And this is why having an operating system going forward in the future is gonna make you that much more productive because you could do all this directly inside of one dashboard now and have an overview of how your entire business is operating. And this is gonna get even more interesting when we could have specific AI agents we build inside of Claude running, and then we could just see what they're doing directly inside of our operating system. I will say right now inside of Claude Cowork, this can't do every single thing that you want it to, but it's a great way to have a unified dashboard just to kinda see what's going on in your business or your, you know, professional life. Alright, guys. If you want the exact same template that I use in order to create my Cowork operating system that you saw in this video, make sure to grab it. It is in my Skrull community along with the 50 plus skills that I use every single day to help me run my business. As well as inside of here, have a ton of high level entrepreneurs and professionals that are using Claude Co work every single day to help them with their business. I also do weekly calls in here where you could ask me any different questions, and we share different use cases we're using Claude for every single week. So make sure to join the school community. However, if you want free content, make sure subscribe to this YouTube channel. I have tons of content like this coming out almost every single day tailored for nontechnical users. So with that being said, guys, thank you so much for staying to the end. I hope you have a good day, and I'll see you in the next
