@Heather Burns The difference is mostly about the type of work each one is designed for. Claude Cowork is more workflow and operations focused, using natural language, connected apps, skills, content creation, automations, Canva, documents, etc. Claude Code is much more engineering focused. It’s designed for working directly with codebases, terminals, repositories, debugging, architecture, and development workflows. So it’s not just preference, they’re optimized for different environments and levels of technical depth.

@Heather Burns Happy that helped Heather. I’ve noticed a lot of people are still figuring out where each one fits best depending on workflow. What kind of projects are you mainly planning to use it for?

Exactly. The goal sounds interesting, but the details completely change the direction of the build. Once you know the data source, main purpose, and who’s using it, everything else becomes much clearer.
