As our community grows, I'm going to start connecting some of our more advanced courses and resources to Skool Levels. Why? Because I don't want this Academy to become another place where people join, download information, and disappear. I want us to learn from each other. That means asking questions. Sharing what you're trying. Commenting on other members' ideas. Posting your results. Sharing what worked and what didn't. Helping someone when you have experience they can benefit from. Feel free to post anything else that adds value to the community. Some courses will remain available to everyone, while increasingly advanced content will be unlocked as you progress through the community. And as we grow, the quality and depth of the courses will grow with us. The goal isn't activity for activity's sake. It's contribution, learning, and progress. So don't just consume the Academy. Participate in it. Build with us. Help make it better. 🚀 And let's start right here: 👇 Which AI tools do you use most now?

Claude Cowork is one of the most important shifts happening in AI right now, especially for people who don't want to become programmers. The simplest way to understand it is: - Claude Chat helps you think about the work. - Claude Cowork can actually perform the work. Anthropic describes Cowork as bringing the same agentic architecture behind Claude Code to everyday knowledge work, without requiring a terminal. Instead of answering one prompt at a time, it can plan a multi-step job, break it into pieces, use tools and files, execute the work, and return a finished result. 🧠 What does that actually mean? Suppose you have a folder containing: - 20 customer invoices - several Excel files - meeting notes - customer proposals - PDFs - sales reports - With ordinary Claude Chat, you might upload documents and ask questions about them. **With Cowork, you could give it a job** 🧑‍⚖️PROMPT: Go through these files. Organize the customers. Create a spreadsheet showing revenue by customer. Identify accounts that declined. Create a management summary and put the finished files in this folder.” Cowork can plan and execute those steps rather than merely explaining how you should do them. It can directly read and write files in folders you authorize, create spreadsheets, presentations, and documents, coordinate subtasks, browse websites, and use connected applications ''' That's the fundamental change: - Prompt → Answer becomes - Goal → Plan → Actions → Finished Work ❓Why should you care? Because this is where AI starts moving from assistant toward digital worker. 🧠Imagine saying: “Every Monday, review these reports, compare them with last week, identify anything unusual, and prepare my management briefing.” Cowork supports scheduled tasks that can run remotely even when your computer isn't online. Or: “Take these meeting notes and build the presentation for Friday.” Or: “Research these competitors, organize the findings, create a comparison spreadsheet, and prepare an executive report.”

If you have been using ChatGPT but have never touched Codex, this is for you. And don't worry. You do not need to be a programmer. I think the easiest way to understand Codex is this: ChatGPT helps you think and create. Codex can actually work on things with you. That is a big difference. With ChatGPT, you might say: “Help me figure out how to build this.” With Codex, you can move closer to: “Here is the project. Help me build it, change the files, check the work, and fix what isn't working.” That is why Codex matters. 🧠 So What Exactly Is Codex? Codex is OpenAI's AI coding and software-building agent. But don't let the word coding scare you away. You can communicate with Codex in normal English. You tell it what you are trying to accomplish, give it access to the appropriate project files, and it can work through the task. It can: 🔹 Read and understand project files 🔹 Create and edit files 🔹 Build websites and applications 🔹 Find and fix problems 🔹 Run tests 🔹 Research technical issues 🔹 Work through larger projects step by step 🔹 Use reusable instructions and Skills 🔹 Connect to other tools through things like MCP The important idea is not that Codex can write code. The important idea is that Codex can take action. ** That is the shift I want you to understand. 💡 What Problem Does Codex Solve? For years, we have used AI mostly like this: Ask → Answer → Copy → Paste → Do the work yourself Codex starts moving us toward: Describe the goal → Give context → Let the agent work → Review the result You are moving from simply talking to AI toward delegating work to AI. That is a very important skill to understand as AI continues to evolve. 🚀 10 Simple Steps to Start Using Codex 1. Get Codex running Start with OpenAI's desktop ChatGPT experience and access Codex from there. 👀 Tip: Don't worry about understanding every feature. Your first goal is simply to get comfortable opening Codex and looking around. 2. Sign in with your ChatGPT account Use the same OpenAI account you already use for ChatGPT.
