Cowork not as good as Chat?
My cofounder and I both had extensive Claude Chat projects with dozens of source documents, that knew our company very well. But it was separate projects, and we didn’t want to pay for 5 seats of a business account. So we decided to shift to cowork, both of us running our own cowork project from a share Google drive folder, synced on each of our laptops. To create the folder, we asked Chat to create a bunch of docs explaining what it knows about our product, customers, company, etc. then we added a Claude.md file with general context, a routing mechanism, etc.
it’s an ok solution, but I constantly have the impression that our current solution is not as smart as Claude chat.
Beside the fact that every response takes much longer, requests are sometimes not routed correctly, Claude seems to not always take into account all the context it has available on a given topic. It will sometimes say “i dont know who x is” when x is clearly mentioned in one of the docs in the folders it has access to. And just as a general thing, Claude feels less sharp and knowledgable about our company. Any idea what is going on and how we might improve our system?
