Ask for something

You ask the app to do something by describing the task in the field at the bottom of the window.

Grunden Cowork with a workspace open. Sessions are listed on the left. The task field is at the bottom. Grunden Cowork with a workspace open. Sessions are listed on the left. The task field is at the bottom.

You can attach files to a task, or drop them straight onto the window.

The app accepts PDFs, images, text, Word, PowerPoint and Excel.

Not every model reads every type. If the current model cannot read what you attached, the app tells you before you send it. See choosing a model.

A session is one conversation. You can keep as many as you like, and search across them.

A new session is called New session until there is something to name it after.

ActionWhat it does
PinKeeps a session at the top of the list.
ArchiveMoves a session out of the list without deleting it. You can bring it back.
DeleteRemoves the session and its messages. This cannot be undone.
Split viewOpens two sessions side by side.

Use Archive when you are finished with a session but might want it later. Use Delete only when you are sure.

Sometimes you want to add something while the app is still working. When you do, the app asks you to choose:

ChooseWhat happens
Send nowThe app changes course straight away.
QueueThe app finishes the current task first, then reads your message.

Choose Send now when the app is going the wrong way. Choose Queue when you want the current task to finish.

An empty workspace suggests a few tasks instead of showing you a blank field. One suggestion plans a workflow you can reuse. Another automates a task in the built-in browser.

You can ignore the suggestions and write your own task.
