Most people use AI as a search engine with attitude. They write a question, get an answer, and wonder why it sounds like a LinkedIn influencer wrote it.
That's not how we work at Crux Comms. And it's probably not how you should work either.
In the last two weeks, we have tested the Cowork feature in Claude with the Opus 4.6 model. We have tried it as a daily work tool for press releases, localization, content planning, and strategic groundwork. What stands out is that it’s no longer about specific prompts. It’s something closer to a junior colleague who has read everything you’ve ever written and never forgets a brief.
Here’s what actually makes a difference, and why we believe more B2B communication teams should take a look at this.
➡️ Give it context and instructions. The big shift is moving from "write a press release about X, based on context Y and writing style Z" to giving Claude access to your actual work files: tone of voice, previous releases, strategy documents, brand platform. In Cowork, you choose a folder, and Claude reads everything in it before responding. The result goes from generic to genuinely useful.
➡️ Connect it to where you work. Cowork connects to tools like Google Drive. This means Claude can search your documents, find the latest press release you wrote for a client, and match the style — without you needing to paste anything. We have a briefing document in our Drive that gives Claude full context about Crux Comms in seconds.
➡️ Treat the first response as a starting point, not the final draft. Claude is good at structure and speed. It’s not good at knowing how your client’s CEO actually sounds when she’s straightforward. The value lies in the iteration, and you can let it produce a draft, then question, refine, redirect. That’s where the real time savings happen.
➡️ Use it for the tasks that eat up your day. Localizations of press releases into three Nordic languages. First draft for LinkedIn posts. Summarize a 40-page report into three key messages. Format and structure content. These are things that used to take hours and now take minutes, without a drop in quality.
➡️ Have a "context map" that evolves. We have markdown files with everything Claude needs to know about us — our clients, our style, our tone. When something changes, we update the file. It takes two minutes and saves hours of re-explaining.
The point is not that AI writes for you. It's that you stop wasting time on production and spend more of it on the parts of communication that actually require a human brain: judgment, relationships, strategy.
Claude Opus 4.6 with Cowork is the first setup we've used that genuinely feels like working with someone, not just prompting a tool. If you work in B2B communication and haven't tried it, do it.
