[01:14:10] S1: There's so much depth then. I was like, okay, smarter than I even thought. Okay. Final question. Coming back to cowork, is there, I don't know, mind-blowing use case, something just like, wow, that's so cool that cowork can do that. Either something you use it for, or you've heard somebody using it for? [01:14:28] S0: One thing I really like is just introspection. And so I have this folder, basically, of local notes that I have that I use iA Writer for. And I basically just write whatever, and over the years have collected it with a bunch of different notes, and they span all different things like one-on-one notes, random thoughts, tiny memos, interview notes, et cetera. And my favorite, it's cool to me, is just using cowork to analyze that and have insights out of it, and actually create things out of it. So anytime I can learn something new about myself, I love that. But I think a very practical thing I did with it the other day was along the lines of hiring, I was like, "Oh yeah, I want to sort of articulate what it is that I look for when I look for in design craft," because I think actually a lot of people struggle to articulate that. And I just had it read through all of my notes, both interview notes and other things that I cared about, and memos and stuff like that I've written in the past. And then it made me this rubric for evaluating that. So that kind of introspection where it's like, oh, I wouldn't have realized even these things about myself that I'd been putting out there implicitly. That's been really cool for me.

[01:15:43] S1: That is so cool. So just to make this very clear for people, you have a folder with all these things you've written, one-on-ones, meetings, like you could do, I don't know if y'all are allowed to use Granola or something like that, meeting transcripts, and ask it. And I was going to ask what prompt you used, but it's just like, "Read all these things I've written, and help me probably just understand how I feel about what is DesignCraft." [01:16:06] S0: Yeah, basically I think it was like, "Hey, I have a bunch of interview notes and a bunch of notes related to DesignCraft in this folder. Read it and then help me craft a memo/rubric for how I assess craft in interviews." [01:16:20] S1: So cool. [01:16:21] S0: Yeah. [01:16:22] S1: Jenny, this was awesome. What a time to be alive. [01:16:25] S0: What a time. [01:16:27] S1: Two final questions. Where can folks find you online if they want to reach out and how can listeners be useful to you? [01:16:31] S0: Yeah, I'm on Twitter/X is what we're calling it these days. It's @jenny_1. That's probably the best place, not really on LinkedIn as much, so that's the best place. And how can folks be helpful to me? Send us your product feedback. We're working on Cowork, or anything Claude related really, just send us your feedback, we'd love to make it better for you. [01:16:53] S1: Jenny, thank you so much for being here. [01:16:55] S0: Yeah, of course. It was great chatting Lenny.
