Over the past two years, AI has lived in a chatbox. You ask, it answers. But Claude Cowork signals a shift from conversation to execution. In this episode of Execution Over Hype, we break down what it means for AI to move from chatbot to agent - scanning folders, organizing files, and completing real work directly on your machine.

We unpack a real-world example where hundreds of messy transcripts were synthesized into a structured strategy document automatically. With agent-style task planning and MCP plugins, Claude Cowork can standardize workflows and act more like a digital operator than a Q&A tool.
But there’s a catch. Local file access raises governance risks, session memory is limited, and it’s still a research preview. We score it through an enterprise lens and explain where it’s execution ready - and where it’s still hype.
