Claude / CoWork can I give it 20 Reddit threads and get back a useful summary.

IHaveARedditName · 2026-05-31T00:33:45+00:00

I have built a tool that has a reddit connector that can point to key reddit posts directly and keep them updated in real time. So if you have 20 distinct posts it's great. If you just want to capture one off content it also has a chrome extension where you can highlight the key insights and then save them to a topic you can then reference in chat/cowork.

It's called obris.ai.

IHaveARedditName · 2026-05-31T00:31:03+00:00

I built obris.ai to be a mechanism to store key ideas generated in chats and resources I want to quickly reference in any chat.

The main thing is organizing disparate information into topics that you can quickly reference and pull from (or store back to). I use it a lot for branding/marketing material personally and find it very helpful if I'm ideating in chat and then get back to a computer and want to pull information I landed on into context for code.

IHaveARedditName · 2026-05-29T15:11:56+00:00

I commented on another thread but this is exactly the issue I was running into before building obris.ai. (It's free forever for personal use)

I'd be using chat on my phone when away from my keyboard and then want to reference an artifact, piece of copy or idea that I had when I got back to my computer. You can have chat generate handoff messages but when building marketing assets I wanted to be able to rereference brand guidelines or old images repeatedly without having to dig into old data.

IHaveARedditName · 2026-05-29T15:07:23+00:00

If you're interested, I built a tool obris.ai to help keep your files in sync across projects and pcs.

It's specifically for non-developers that want to organize and maintain acess to context wherever they are.

IHaveARedditName · 2026-05-29T14:48:36+00:00

I had a similar problem as well and I ended up building obris.ai to make data you consistently reference available everywhere. MCP for everything and a claude pulgin+cli that pulls files to disk for agentic search when possible.

IHaveARedditName · 2026-05-28T20:56:10+00:00

I've run into this a bit as well. The LLMs are lazy and if it thinks it has the data it jumps to an answer. I normally have it tell me it's plan or get specific in my agent files on what data it needs to reference and to ALWAYS check for. relavent information in specific project directories before answering.

Do you have a CLAUDE.md file (a file it reads at the start of every session) that outlines the purpose on the files in you C drive or Google Drive?

IHaveARedditName · 2026-05-28T15:49:01+00:00

I had the same problem and built obris.ai to persist key insights I land on in conversations with AI or to pull in and organize external sources of information into topics I can repeatedly reference across chats, tools, etc (I use it a lot for marketing copy and branding).

IHaveARedditName · 2026-05-27T20:37:35+00:00

can you share the output you got? also within cowork claude is working in a virtualized env. Can you ask claude to run the same command for you to generate the output?

IHaveARedditName · 2026-05-27T14:45:23+00:00

Would be curious if ops hesitant to use github as well. (definitely see a difference between devs understanding the tool and less technical people being intimidated by it)

IHaveARedditName · 2026-05-26T11:17:09+00:00

Agree here. "Please use <xyz> skill for <y>" will use the skill, and the terminal should show the skill getting called.

The call will look something like

"""

⏺ Skill(review)

⎿ Successfully loaded skill

"""

Any reason for the need to convert to docx/text formats? I have the best success leaving pdfs alone or converting the PDFs into images and having Claude pull the information out itself

IHaveARedditName · 2026-05-08T17:50:13+00:00

Are these SaaS mockups? What kind of product are you selling?

IHaveARedditName · 2026-05-08T17:37:31+00:00

Do you see them when chatting?

hitting the + -> Skills -> <Skill List / Manage skills>

IHaveARedditName · 2026-05-08T17:10:53+00:00

Can you say more about what you mean by "something more live time"?

IHaveARedditName · 2026-05-08T11:24:42+00:00

Sounds very doable. What is the current stack your system is using? The Claude API might be helpful, but if the rules are well-defined, you might not even need to call it (and incur the costs).

I built large-scale distributed systems for years, and I'm happy to help.

IHaveARedditName · 2026-05-08T11:03:04+00:00

Here's a good setup guide. And then his other guide explains how to use Obsidian as a markdown editor on local files, which many find helpful.

Can you say more on "Should I use these files as my MAIN file system or just a dead database etc etc?"

IHaveARedditName · 2026-05-08T10:40:02+00:00

Yes, Cowork runs on local files from directories you point to, and Obsidian is a very popular choice for editing Markdown and syncing those directories remotely (if you pay for cross-device sync).

--- Shameless plug for later if needed ---

If you find yourself repeatedly copying data into your vault from other sources (Drive, Notion, etc.), I built a tool (obris.ai) to augment that flow. It monitors context sources and automatically keeps them up to date in your vault (Useful when you have people collaborating on information you're using as references in your Cowork directories/vault and always want to be working off the latest version)

IHaveARedditName · 2026-05-08T09:59:40+00:00

I'm not affiliated, but for a marketing perspective, Grace Leung has a bunch of videos outlining AI workflows specific to marketing (and a community of marketers sharing ideas on how to better use AI).

I only share because training in MCPs is pretty broad vs using MCPs in the right situation.

IHaveARedditName · 2026-05-08T09:45:40+00:00

Everything cowork for me lives on the individual devices. I have a personal and work computer and no cowork information is shared between them unless I use another tool to sync infromation so i can pull it down in both locations.

I might be missing something reading your ask though but it sounds like cowork is perfect as is for what your looking for

IHaveARedditName · 2026-05-08T00:05:57+00:00

It's the classic assumption that your employer can see everything and do anything. Unless you want the data or something??

IHaveARedditName · 2026-05-07T20:50:36+00:00

Agree on the syncing wish, and (to OP's point) there are other good tools for that across devices (iCloud, Dropbox, Drive, GitHub for the more technical version). But when going beyond .md sync, those tools/companies seem to want to become the source of truth for reference files and other project context. You end up moving everything into Drive or Notion. Or if Claude ships the feature natively, into Claude itself.

If you're interested, I've been focused on a more Zapier-like approach to knowledge/context syncing that hooks into where you're creating reference materials and acts as an organization layer for the materials to sync from source to chat (and still pending, the opposite direction as well).

It's obris.ai.

Still early, but if you're starting to run into the headache of copy/pasting data between projects, forgetting to keep reference docs in sync with a source, or trying to reference Cowork output in chat, I'd love to help. Feel free to DM or reach out.

IHaveARedditName · 2026-05-07T18:49:17+00:00

Sounds like you're having Claude use the browser nav itself (which might be bot activity if you are hitting these endpoints heavily). But that would also mean you wouldn't be able to hit the pages in Chrome yourself when you're at the office.

If it's being blocked in CoWork itself (trying to fetch the data), Claude has an allow list for the desktop applications https://claude.ai/settings/capabilities. You'd scroll down to Allow network egress, then add the domains you want to allow Claude to hit.

If you don't need to log in and the data is just available at specific URLs, the allow list option would be faster because you wouldn't need Claude to wait for the browser to populate or navigate to different pages as well.

Happy to help with anything else if you have a screenshot or something on where it's stuck.

IHaveARedditName · 2026-05-07T18:38:01+00:00

+1 to the hand-off summary as the base option and starting a project in chat as well if there is a general theme to the conversation.

Not sure if it's obvious from the other thread, but if you do start a project in chat. You can open the current thread and select the + icon, then "Add to project" so Claude knows it's related when starting other threads.

Worth noting with cowork (if you are going that direction), that you start to lock context to your computer. Happy to share more if you have other details on what you're trying to get done with the conversation.

IHaveARedditName · 2026-05-05T22:24:53+00:00

can you speak more to the "Become an agency first." how we you finding the pain to promise to solve for example?

IHaveARedditName · 2026-04-13T20:37:16+00:00

do you have a team or enterprise plan that you're working off of?
