Agentic Day-to-Day: Cowork, Chrome & Automation
From assistant to agent — a scheduled daily briefing and supervised browser automation.
The agency week: Claude goes from answering to doing. We chain your Skills and connectors into real workflows, meet Cowork (longer multi-step tasks, browser use, sub-agents), and build the signature outcome of the course — the Daily Triage Briefing, scheduled to greet you each morning. Then Claude in Chrome fills a real web form, supervised.
The wow is the promise of tomorrow: a brief that already did 30–45 minutes of prep. The discipline is Diligence — allow/blocklists, “Ask before acting” mode, and a human gate on anything irreversible. Power with a seatbelt.
Learner goals
- Chain Skills + connectors into one workflow (and meet Cowork).
