Claude Cowork for Creators: Building an AI Workspace That Actually Knows You

Most people using Claude are still in chat mode. They open a window, type a prompt, get something decent, and close the tab. Cowork is a completely different product, and almost nobody knows how to set it up (or use it) in a way that sticks. Sean Oulashin is Stan's Lead Editor and a Creator with 500K+ followers across Instagram and YouTube. This workshop is part Cowork explainer, part live build. Sean walks you through how Cowork actually works — what makes it different from standard Claude chat, what the core files do, why most setups feel generic — and then builds Creator Space from scratch so you can watch it come together in real time. Creator Space is a Cowork setup designed specifically for Creators. More than a script generator, it's a workspace that gives you somewhere to think through your ideas before you write anything. You bring a topic; it pulls up everything you've already made on that subject, helps you find a fresh angle, and works through the research with you so that by the time you're writing, you already know what you want to say. The result is content that gets to a strong draft faster and actually sounds like you. More importantly than that, you get sharper, more focused thinking so that creating high-quality content genuinely becomes a muscle you can rely on over and over again. It runs a setup interview the first time you open it, generates your voice and identity files from your answers, and connects to Notion so finished scripts land somewhere you can track and edit them from anywhere. In this 45-minute workshop, Sean covers: How Cowork works under the hood; what separates it from standard chat and why it gets more useful the longer you use it The files every workspace needs and what happens to outputs when they're missing The setup interview that teaches Cowork who you are as a Creator before you write a single prompt A live build of Creator Space from zero so you see the whole system take shape You leave with a working understanding of Cowork and the Creator Space folder ready to download and adapt to your own workflow. Who this is for Creators who want more out of AI than a chat window but have no interest in writing code to get there. If you publish content to build your business and want a setup that knows your voice, your topics, and what you've already made; this workshop is for you. We're excited to have this event part of Toronto Tech Week - a citywide celebration of the people building what’s next.
