The big three AI labs are all building superapps — but each is packaging them differently. Google blurs everything together inside Antigravity. OpenAI is consolidating into Codex. Anthropic took a third path: three distinct surfaces inside one Claude desktop app — Chat, Cowork, and Code.
In this episode, Chris Bradley walks through how Anthropic's approach actually plays out in practice. When to use each surface. Why Claude Code desktop has become his go-to for vibe coding. How Cowork turns Claude from an AI chat into a real workspace that produces documents, spreadsheets, and decks. And why specialization with seamless switching solves the context-switching problem differently than pure consolidation does.
Episode 6 in the Tools That Changed How I Work sub-series. Episode 7 goes deep on OpenAI Codex.
