Anthropic Updates Claude Cowork Tool to Enhance Office Workers' Productivity
Anthropic rolled out major updates to Claude Cowork, giving enterprises deeper control, private plugin marketplaces, and broader workflow automation across business tools.
Details:
Admins can now build private plugin marketplaces to distribute role specific AI agents across their organizations.
A new Customize hub unifies plugins, skills, and connectors, while improved controls allow per user provisioning, auto install, and tighter governance.
New connectors expand integrations across tools like Google Workspace, DocuSign, FactSet, and WordPress.
Anthropic also introduced pre built plugins for HR, engineering, design, finance, private equity, and wealth management workflows.
Claude can now also orchestrate multi step work across Microsoft Excel and Microsoft PowerPoint, passing context between apps in an early research preview.
Anthropic is racing to embed Claude deeper into everyday enterprise workflows as the battle for workplace AI adoption accelerates.

Meet America’s Newest $1B Unicorn
A US startup just hit a $1 billion private valuation, joining billion-dollar private companies like SpaceX, OpenAI, and ByteDance. Unlike those other unicorns, you can invest.
Over 40,000 people already have. So have industry giants like General Motors and POSCO.
Why all the interest? EnergyX’s patented tech can recover up to 3X more lithium than traditional methods. That's a big deal, as demand for lithium is expected to 5X current production levels by 2040. Today, they’re moving toward commercial production, tapping into 100,000+ acres of lithium deposits in Chile, a potential $1.1B annual revenue opportunity at projected market prices.
Right now, you can invest at this pivotal growth stage for $11/share. But only through February 26. Become an early-stage EnergyX shareholder before the deadline.
This is a paid advertisement for EnergyX Regulation A offering. Please read the offering circular at invest.energyx.com. Under Regulation A, a company may change its share price by up to 20% without requalifying the offering with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
CURSOR
Cursor Announces Major Update to AI Agents
Cursor unveiled major upgrades to its AI coding agents as competition intensifies with rivals like Anthropic, OpenAI, and Microsoft.
Details:
The updated agents can now test their own code changes and document their work with videos, logs, and screenshots.
Developers can launch the agents from the web app, desktop, mobile, Slack, or GitHub.
Agents now run on dedicated cloud based virtual machines, avoiding local laptop limits and enabling multiple tasks to run in parallel.
Cursor says this setup allows users to run 10 to 20 agent driven workflows at once, increasing development throughput.
The update lands as the AI coding race accelerates, with tools like Claude Code, Codex, and GitHub Copilot rapidly gaining traction among developers.
AI Tutorial
How to create McKinsey-style slides with AI
Go to Kimi.com and sign in.
Select the K2.5 Agent model, choose Slides, and input a prompt like:
Conduct a comprehensive analysis of the GenAI video model market, focusing on leading players (e.g., Seedance 2.0, Kling, Veo, Luma). Compare their core architectures, temporal consistency, and prompt adherence to identify current industry benchmarks. Use the latest information
Requirement:
A professional, high-density consulting presentation slide, designed in the style of a top-tier strategy firm (McKinsey/BCG) blended with high-end editorial aesthetics.
Core Content & Layout:
1. Rich Data Visualization: The slide is populated with complex, precise charts (stacked bar charts, waterfall charts, or line graphs) and detailed data tables with rows and columns.
2. Structured Frameworks: Includes strategic diagrams or 2x2 matrices constructed with thin, clean lines.
3. High Information Density: The layout is sophisticated and multi-column, mimicking an actual business analysis deck, not just an empty cover page.
Visual Style:
1. Aesthetic: Tech-minimalist but information-heavy. Clean, sharp, and authoritative.
2. Typography: Serif fonts (like Times New Roman) for the main headlines to give a premium financial report feel; clean Sans-serif for chart labels and data numbers.
3. Color Palette: Clean white background. Text is sharp black. Charts and graphical accents use Deep Royal Blue and distinct shades of grey for data hierarchy.
4. Graphics: Use fine hairline borders for tables and precise vector lines for graphs.

Here’s an un-boring way to invest that billionaires have quietly leveraged for decades
If you have enough money that you think about buckets for your capital…
Ever invest in something you know will have low returns—just for the sake of diversifying?
CDs… Bonds… REITs… :(
Sure, these “boring” investments have some merits. But you probably overlooked one historically exclusive asset class:
It’s been famously leveraged by billionaires like Bezos and Gates, but just never been widely accessible until now.
It outpaced the S&P 500 (!) overall WITH low correlation to stocks, 1995 to 2025.*
It’s not private equity or real estate. Surprisingly, it’s postwar and contemporary art.
And since 2019, over 70,000 people have started investing in SHARES of artworks featuring legends like Banksy, Basquiat, and Picasso through a platform called Masterworks.
23 exits to date
$1,245,000,000+ invested
Annualized net returns like 17.6%, 17.8%, and 21.5%
My subscribers can SKIP their waitlist and invest in blue-chip art.
Investing involves risk. Past performance not indicative of future returns. Reg A disclosures at masterworks.com/cd

ProducerAI, a generative AI music tool, is becoming part of Google Labs, the company announced Tuesday.
The platform lets users create and refine music using generative AI, and it runs on Google DeepMind's Lyria 3 model.
The company has announced a new feature that allows users to control a local Claude Code session remotely from mobile devices or any browser, keeping sessions running on the user's machine.
It is currently available as a research preview for Max users and coming soon to Pro users.
The company describes them as "having AI teammates that handle entire workflows autonomously across Notion, Slack, Mail, Calendar, Figma, Linear, and your custom MCP servers."
They will be free to try for two months during public beta on Business and Enterprise plans. After that, they'll use Notion Credits.
The Finnish health technology company announced Tuesday it is rolling out its first proprietary AI model to power its AI chatbot, Oura Advisor, with more "personalized clinically grounded women's health guidance."
The model supports questions across the full reproductive health spectrum, from early menstrual cycles through menopause, and is now available in Oura Labs, the company’s opt in experimental feature hub within the app.
To try them, go to gemini.google or open the app, select "Create Videos" in the tools menu, and pick a template from the gallery.
That’s a wrap!
