And is it worth the switch from ChatGPT?
Over the past few weeks, a lot of people have been talking about the latest updates from Anthropic’s Claude, especially a feature called Claude Co-Work. A few writers have even said they stopped opening ChatGPT after switching to it, mainly because it handles longer instructions and extended working sessions much better.
As EAs, that immediately piqued our curiosity. A lot of our work involves reading long documents, organising scattered information, and preparing briefing notes for our Executive when the meeting is starting in about seven minutes. Anything that can stay on track while we work through a messy document or a pile of notes is at least worth a look.
So in this week’s newsletter, we’re taking a look at a few of the newer Claude features people are discussing right now, and where they might actually be useful in the kind of work we deal with every day.

In this guide, we will explore practical tools that help us get through a busy week. There are ten AI tools EAs may not know about yet that are worth exploring if you enjoy experimenting with new tech in your role. Some of them help organise information. Some support research or writing. Others help connect the many tools we already use every day.

In this article, we will explore five tasks you should already be delegating to AI in practical, everyday terms, the kind of tasks that come up in your week again and again. We will also cover three areas that should remain with us as EAs, even if the tool offers to draft something for you. The aim of this article is to free up real hours in your week.

Claude AI - New Features
- Claude Co-Work: Stay in the same working session while you complete a task. Instead of starting a new chat every time something changes, you can keep reviewing documents, asking follow-up questions, and refining the output. As EAs, this is useful when you are working through reports, messy notes, or preparing briefing points for your Executive before a meeting.
- Long Documents: Claude can review much larger documents than earlier tools. If you have ever been sent a long report ten minutes before a meeting and asked to pull out the key points, you will immediately see the value. You can upload the document and ask targeted questions about risks, decisions, or summary points for your Executive.
- Projects: Projects let you group documents inside one workspace. For assistants supporting recurring meetings or ongoing initiatives, this means you can keep the relevant files together rather than uploading the same documents again every time you need to review them.
- Artifacts: Artifacts generate structured outputs you can work with straight away, such as tables, outlines, or formatted documents. When you are preparing briefing notes or meeting summaries, this helps turn rough information into something clearer before sharing it with your Executive.
