This module shows you how to stop redoing the same work by hand: set Cowork tasks to run on their own, on a schedule, or in response to an event. Capture a repeatable process or writing voice as a reusable skill, and understand how plugins and connectors extend Cowork into the tools your team already uses

Learning objectives

After completing this module, you'll be able to:

  • Distinguish between setting a task to run on its own and building a custom skill, and decide which to use.
  • Set Cowork tasks to run on their own or on schedule like a Monday-morning briefing or in response to an event like an email arriving.
  • Build reusable Cowork skills that capture a repeatable process or writing style.
  • Describe how plugins and connectors extend Cowork into connected tools.
  • Stay in control of automated work by approving sensitive actions, managing session permissions, and tracking what your scheduled tasks produce.
