Course overview

Use the selected demonstrations to study knowledge-work patterns: organizing files, adding durable context, researching a website, packaging reusable capabilities, drafting business artifacts, and comparing flows with agents. The emphasis is on inspectable inputs and reviewable outputs, because interfaces and permissions can change.

Organize a workspace assistant task around files, context, permissions, and a reviewable deliverable. Create project instructions that improve consistency without hiding source material. Design a bounded research workflow and record provenance for extracted findings. Evaluate plugins, flows, and agents by control, repeatability, and review requirements.

Basic file management and document-editing skills. Use non-sensitive sample files and check current product availability, privacy settings, and permissions before connecting a workspace.
