We're starting "What We Shipped," a monthly stream where we'll share our latest tips and talk about new Claude Code releases.
The first one is April 7th, come hang out with @dmwlff and me!
A small quality of life detail: you can now press tab to add more instructions when accepting/rejecting a permission prompt.
We tried probably a dozen iterations of this UX over the last few weeks before deciding to ship this one.
Let us know what you think!
Since we launched Claude Code, we saw people using it for all sorts of non-coding work: doing vacation research, building slide decks, cleaning up your email, cancelling subscriptions, recovering wedding photos from a hard drive, monitoring plant growth, controlling your oven.
These use cases are diverse and surprising -- the reason is that the underlying Claude Agent is the best agent, and Opus 4.5 is the best model.
Today, we're so excited to introduce Cowork, our first step towards making Claude Code work for all your non-coding work. The product is early and raw, similar to what Claude Code felt like when it first launched.
Cowork includes a number of novel UX and safety features that we think make the product really special: a built-in VM for isolation, out of the box support for browser automation, support for all your claude.ai data connectors, asking you for clarification when it's unsure, We are excited to see how you all use it.
Cowork is available now as a research preview for Claude Max subscribers in the macOS app. Click on “Cowork” in the sidebar: claude.com/download
Nano Banana + n8n is legitimately insane 🤯
Google's Nano Banana creates studio-quality static ads.
But manually generating variations one-by-one takes forever.
This n8n automation generates 1,000+ ad variations in minutes.
Fully automated.
Perfect for DTC brands & media buyers who need fresh creative for testing without hiring designers.
Here's the problem:
You need 50+ ad variations to test angles, but Nano Banana only outputs one image at a time.
Manually uploading and tweaking prompts for each variation kills hours.
This n8n automation solves it:
→ Upload ONE product image via n8n form
→ OpenAI Vision analyzes your product automatically
→ AI generates custom image prompts (you choose quantity: 50, 100, 1000+)
→ Nano Banana creates static ad images in bulk
→ All images auto-stored in Box for instant access
No manual prompting.
No designer bottlenecks.
No waiting on agencies.
What you get:
→ Hundreds of unique ad variations from one upload
→ Different angles, backgrounds, compositions
→ Production-ready static ads
→ Perfect for testing creative on Meta/TikTok
Built 100% in n8n.

Sora 2 just changed the game for UGC-style ads 🤯
I've been testing it the past 48 hours on real DTC brands.
And the results are honestly insane.
Perfect for e-commerce brands & ad agencies who want to test new creatives quickly.
But instead of spending $500+ per UGC video to test a new hook or angle...
Just use Sora 2 and iterate on unlimited variations for pennies per video.
Here's what makes this so good:
→ Test 10 different hooks in the time it takes to book one creator
→ Iterate on new angles without touching your creative budget
→ Generate product-in-hand shots with solid brand consistency
→ Create variations across different settings instantly
→ Go from concept to testable ad in under 5 minutes
→ Scale winners without reshooting anything
I recorded a 9-minute Loom video breaking down my entire process, including the prompts.

THIS IS A GENERATIONAL MOMENT TO START A COMPANY AND STEAL MARKET SHARE FROM BILLION-DOLLAR INCUMBENTS
most billion-dollar companies are "adding AI" the same way blockbuster "added streaming." slowly. defensively. committee-approved baby steps while the world changes around them. (
here's how you steal their market share from billion dollar incumbents:
build AI-first everything.
AI-native products that couldn't exist without language models at their core.
the opportunities are everywhere:
1. vertical AI agents: pick a job title. insurance underwriter. freight broker. customer success manager. build AI that IS that person. commercial insurance software costs $30k/year and brokers still review policies manually. AI-first version: upload policy, get gaps in 30 seconds. the AI is the underwriter.
2. CLI-first tools: developers are living in the terminal with AI. cursor and aider changed everything. what other workflows belong in the command line? AI-powered database management. infrastructure automation. deployment tools. the entire devops stack rebuilt for engineers who think in prompts.
3. AI-native SaaS: don't add chatbots to old interfaces. rebuild the entire product assuming AI exists. expense software where receipts explain themselves. CRMs where meeting notes write themselves. project management where tasks assign themselves.
4. distribution as a moat: build the audience, brand, or community that becomes the gateway to AI for specific industries. own the youtube channel teaching realtors to use AI. build the newsletter showing lawyers AI workflows. create the community where dentists share AI automations. the models are commoditized. distribution isn't.
the incumbents can't do any of this. they're stuck adding "AI-powered insights" to software designed when obama was president. note: @meetLCA helps companies go AI-first in a tasteful way)
meanwhile, entire boring industries don't even know what's happening in AI. insurance companies think claude is a guy from montreal. logistics firms route everything through excel. your doctor office has a fax machine
framework for thinking about where opportunities could exist:
1. find anywhere humans are basically expensive routers. moving data. matching patterns. following decision trees. that's where AI-first wins.
2. price at 70% of the incumbent. be 10x better AND cheaper. impossible to ignore.
3. start with power users who've already hacked together solutions. they get it immediately. everyone else follows them.
4. 1% of any market equals generational wealth. pick boring b2b. pick massive TAM. pick workflows that make people want to quit.
note: you can use @ideabrowser for validated startup ideas, painpoints, and prompts to build your idea
the prime window is 12-18 months. eventually incumbents will all be AI-first in the same way that desktop companies became mobile-first eventually. And it will be harder to compete.
now's the models are good enough so you can actually build on top of them to create insane value for customers.
the moment to steal market share from billion dollar giants has never been more in reach.
90% of the incumbents are still sleeping. how much market share will you steal before they wake up?
