Claude's Head of Design: Full Claude Cowork Tutorial in 40 Min | Jenny Wen
Jenny is the head of design for Claude. She gave me a rare inside look at how Anthropic operates — including how she uses Cowork to design and build products and the real story behind how Cowork was built. Anthropic is shipping new features almost everyday and it was fascinating to see how they do it.
Jenny and I talked about:
(00:00) How design work has changed at Anthropic
(04:30) "My secret is that I actually use Co-work for most things now"
(05:19) Cowork demo: From messy user feedback into product insights
(14:41) "Every Monday Cowork gives me 3 vetted product ideas"
(23:09) The real story behind Cowork's development (10 days?)
(27:18) Exclusive look: Cowork prototypes that didn't ship
(34:01) How product planning works at Anthropic
(38:10) "If you feel like the ground is shifting, it's because it is."
