Agent Sightings Real agent use cases

Plan article topics and draft web articles

According to the write-up, on a Windows PC, the writer points Cowork at a folder of past articles. It reads them and saves a topic table that flags overlap with earlier pieces and suggests how to differentiate. The writer now produces 40 to 50 pieces a month, commissioned articles and notes combined, and no longer copy-pastes between chat and files.
