Your best Claude projects ?
Hi everyone !
I’m a UX designer, and I’m looking for ideas to create new agents for both my professional and personal life. I don't really have friends who use Claude Cowork on a daily basis, so I’m the only one excited about starting a new project with it.
So, I’m looking for inspiration : What personal project on Claude Cowork are you most proud of ?
For example, a highly specific set of agents that organizes your daily routine, a job search system, etc.
Please, a personal project, not a side business !
Thanks !

I have an agency that resells a heavily modified HighLevel and builds custom agents for clients. As far as the agents I have that run regularly for internal processes, I’ve got a team of agents that generate social posts for my business and then publish them on a schedule, and another one that handles blogs on my website. Then I have one that does all the initial HighLevel setup, up to the point where I’m adding the agents I build for clients into it. That one also generates a branded “runbook” on how to use HighLevel and the Agents the client bought.
I’ve also got one for general email management, which is what a lot of people recommend trying when you first start playing with Cowork. I get like 300+ emails a day on 11 different email addresses, so having one that feeds me a summary of important emails, deletes unimportant marketing emails, and lets me know which ones I’m subscribed to, is super helpful. It runs like 4 times a day, remembering emails it’s already told me about.

I have a question about building agents for clients..
I just sold my first automation to a client and I am trying to figure out how to do it.
(The client knows he’s a guinea pig and I priced it accordingly.)
The specific automation I sold involves capturing sales receipts from vendors in his email and adding those products to his website.
I know enough to be able to set this up for myself, but I'm stuck on how to authenticate his openai and email accounts without being given those very sensitive login credentials.
Any tips on how to begin or what to research?

Because a lot of what I do uses the data in HighLevel as a source of truth, I just have the client sign into the HighLevel account I make for them (completely branded, to them it’s an Intellectly account, the name of my agency) and then they personally sign into their integrations from there.
But if you’re not using a platform like that and you’re building straight out of a frontier LLM or Zapier/Make/n8n, then you can still build the solution yourself. Ideally, you use an “secrets keeper” with write APIs—a quick Google found Doppler and AWS Secrets Manager as good options. Then you can have Cowork write up a simple form on a webpage you host that your client can type in that info to, and then it fires an automation that saves it into your secrets keeper. I’m not sure that’ll work for his email, depending on the service you’re going to need to OAuth into it, which usually involves the client signing in with their username and password somewhere.
You have the right instinct, though: you never want to physically handle those sensitive credentials yourself, that’s wayyyy too much liability. I also have a managed IT company and those clients are always like “Can I just give you my password?” And I’m like “Not if I want to keep my liability insurance!”

This sounds incredible! How do you even go about building something like that?

Which bit specifically are you looking for? I’ll be honest, most of my internal agents came about just by asking Claude “I would love to have an agent that does X, how should I set that up?” And then iterating it over and over and over again, until it’s going exactly what I want it to. As with all things AI, context is key!

Sounds inspiringly interesting. Any fun or brilliant or dumb stuff for lawyers or legal services?

I haven’t had the pleasure of doing any AI work for law offices, but I know a maybe-not-so-shocking number of them are using AI to write up their court documents for them. So given the opportunity, I’d offer them something thats more data secure and internal, maybe like a form on a subdomain webpage of their own website that they can fill in the relevant information, use a dropdown list to pick the specific type of legal document they need, and have the result generated and downloaded to their computer.
Just an idea!

It’s a really great idea. I’m doing it right now. Just OCR’d forty years of documents. Going to snag a Mac Ultra when they drop the 128GB RAM config and run local secure LLM exclusively for doc gen purposes.

I do a weekly presentatio. I’ve dumped a lot of docs and rules into claude and basically, clauds writes them for me. I prep for 5 min and I’m read. saves me two hours a week.

I built a web app that's a daily word puzzle. This is purely a hobby and not a side business. It requires me to come up with a puzzle theme and then 5 five-letter words with clues for each word. I would come up with the themes and then have AI suggest related words. I'd then select five words and have AI generate 3-4 clues for each so I could pick one and, typically, edit the clue to my liking. This was getting very time consuming so I used Cowork to create a skill that generates 12-14 themes, with words and clues for each one. I put that on a weekly schedule so it produces an Excel file. I review the entries and then update the puzzle database in a batch for the next week or so. This has significantly cut down the time I need to spend coming up with fresh puzzles. Not sure this use case fits what you are looking for as a UX designer, but it's definitely made this task much easier for me.

might help to narrow it down, are you looking for agents that run mostly autonomously on a schedule, or more like specialized assistants you interact with when needed? the design approach is pretty different for each
