Claude's new features are insane #ad

I've been using @claude for 2 years, but Claude Code and Claude Co-work are on another level #ad Claude Code: I was intimidated at first (terminal = scary), but it's not just for coding. I've connected it to all my files. It knows my projects, goals, and ideas. It can generate content from transcripts, help with my courses, research stuff overnight while I sleep. Claude Co-work: Same power, better UI. I use it on my Mac to build presentations, do deep research, and search the web. If you still think AI is just a chatbot on a website … things have changed. It can access your files, run tasks autonomously, and actually do work for you. If you'd like to try Claude, head to http://clau.de/aliabdaal2 #ClaudePartner #Ad
