Monitor tech subreddits and competitors, draft emails and articles
Commenters use Cowork daily to scan Reddit tech subreddits for work items, monitor competitors and markets, generate articles and draft emails.
- What They Did
- The poster set Cowork to run daily on Reddit tech subreddits related to their work and send a 7 a.m. email summarizing interesting discussions and key insights. In the same setup, they also used it to look for market insights online and, in other scheduled tasks, draft outputs like expense-report emails from receipts and weekly S3 log reviews, though they avoided broader access to company email, calendar, and messaging apps.
- How It Went
- They say it works like a junior assistant and saves them time by surfacing relevant discussions without manual checking. The main limitation they mention is not giving it deeper access to core work systems, which keeps the use cases simpler.
- Worth Knowing
- The Reddit-monitoring digest runs daily and arrives at 7 a.m.; the author says wider automation would require granting access they are not comfortable giving.
