Today on the podcast, we have a ton of news from Anthropic. I think the first one is that they've

just introduced a whole bunch of new plugins that can go with their new co-working capability

that they've all recently ruled out. And the other bit of news is less good for Anthropic.

There's a whole bunch of different music publishers. They're suing Anthropic for $3 billion

for what they call flagrant piracy of about

20,000 pieces of work. So today on the podcast, we're going to break down the new features for Anthropic

and some of the controversy that they have found themselves in this week. Before we get into that,

I wanted to mention if you want access to building AI tools, if you're not a developer,

I'd love for you to check out my platform, AIbox.aI.I. You can describe any tool you want access to building AI tools, if you're not a developer, I'd love for you to check out my platform, AIbox.com. You can describe any tool you want to create, any workflow you want to automate. It will link together different AI models, put in prompts for you, and create a tool that can automate what you do. If you want to go try it out, there's a link in the description to AIbox.I. I'd love to hear what you think about it.

Let's get into the episode. So earlier this month, Anthropic, they released the new co-work.

Basically, this is a new agent kind of tool that gives a lot of the core capabilities of

their Claude Code assistant that I think, you know, a lot of developers are very famously in love

with. Over here at AI Box, my startup,, we use Claude a ton, not myself.

I'm not a developer, but our developers, this is basically what we run everything on.

So they've released essentially something like Claude Code, but for the general population,

the general public that is not developers.

So they've built a sort of more general purpose

product and they're calling this co-work. So right now they have just expanded co-work with a bunch of

new features that are aimed at that I think a lot of enterprise users specifically. And that was kind of

where they were initially going with that. But now they've also added plugins. So plugins are basically designed to automate specialized tasks for a bunch of

different departments inside of your company. So that could mean writing marking copy,

reviewing legal documents for risks, if you're generating customer support responses.
