I've got 3 free Cowork trials to give away
Claude Cowork gives you a desktop AI that can actually touch your files. Here's what it is, what I use it for, and how to get a free week.
TL;DR: I have 3 guest passes for Claude Cowork. Each one gets you 7 days of free access to Claude’s Pro plan, including Cowork and Claude Code. No charge during the trial. If you want one, the link is at the bottom.
I’ve been using Cowork for a few months now. It runs the blog pipeline on this site, handles file edits, and generally does the repetitive stuff I’d rather not context-switch into.
It’s not a chatbot in a browser tab. That’s the main thing to understand.
Cowork is a desktop app. When you connect a folder, Claude can read and write files in it directly. It can run code in a sandboxed Linux environment. It can chain tasks together, remember context between steps, and use plugins that connect to external tools. It’s closer to a local agent than a chat interface.
I use it to write and review blog posts, check files, run pipeline stages, and generally get things out of my head and into the project without me needing to do every step manually.
Is it perfect? No. It’s a research preview. There are rough edges. But for the kind of work I do on this site, it’s already more useful than anything else I’ve tried.
How the guest pass works
When someone uses my referral link, they get:
- Seven days of full Claude Pro access, including Cowork and Claude Code
- A simple setup flow with guided installation
You’ll need to enter payment info to activate it. You won’t be charged unless you keep it going after the seven days.
One catch: you have to be new to Claude paid plans. If you’ve had a Pro or Max subscription before, the pass won’t apply.
I only have 3 passes. First come, first served.
Full transparency: if you subscribe after the trial, I get £10 in usage credits. Worth saying upfront. The trial itself is genuinely free and you can cancel before the seven days are up.
If you do try it and want to know how I’ve set up the blog pipeline, happy to write that up separately. It’s not complicated but it took a bit of iteration to get right.
