What if the commercial offering was made in less than 2 weeks?

Completely understand. It's up to us to keep shippinh and making this actually good during that time!

That's a good idea from the user perspective. I jumped on the aider bandwagon and am now dealing with its relative abandonment and deciding if I want to invest time in a fork.

As a movement though it might be something else. To me, Claude is trying to build a moat around tooling, but due to the nature of their own core product that moat is becoming easier and easier to bridge. What does that mean for them?

The uncomfortable truth is that the marginal cost of producing software (if one doesn't care too much about quality or predictability) has now become near zero with AI; and therefore we will see many companies products being challenged in this way. Of course, Anthropic will have a leg up in terms of subsidized models provided along with a subscription, etc.

Yes it's fully integrated with Claude Skills.

There's first-class integration of https://github.com/enulus/OpenPackage and we provide a ui to install from a list of skills easily as well as add your own.

Dating??? Christ, this planet is cooked.

i think the point is to access the filesystem. move stuff around write rename etc.

Yeah it is still too technical.

First obvious stuff like getting the dmg notarized having easier install.

Then after it will be about optimizing onboarding. One of the core goals is to help Susan do 1 small task in under 5 min.

To do that we will need to: - have some prepackaged configs for folks like starter template - ship opencode within the app itself so users don't need to manually install it - and get rid of the technical jargon that is cluttered in the app.

I wonder if most "Susan in Accounting" even know what Claude is. They then have to know to get Claude desktop, get the max plan in order to get Cowork. Most people live on the cloud, so they'll need to get the Claude browser plugin as well to integrate with Cowork.

I'm curious to see if Anthropic can actually win over these non-technical folks as there's still quite a few hurdles for them to get over.

Yeah ! I feel like until we figure out the correct UX for non-technical people the right way would be a sort of hybrid. Where you'd set it up on a remote server (if you know opencode you know openwork) and you just then have non-tech people do a one time setup to connect to the remote and from then on you can easily extend capabilities.

I believe Anthropic was saying that they created Claude Work using Claude Code as well, in about a week.

"Claude build me a Claude Cowork clone, make no mistakes"

let me know if you need help, still a bit rough around the edges

This comment is so fake lol

MIT

Updated ! Thanks for flagging

Oh damn thanks for flagging. I just added an MIT license.

[flagged]

I used "open" because: - it's open source - built on top of open source (opencode) - it's built-around extensibility via plain-text files (skills) and open-source plugins

How much more open do you want it to be? It’s MIT licensed.
