Claude Cowork learns new skills from your screen recordings
Show Claude a workflow once and it replays it. Plus a chart-topping Alibaba TTS API, Mistral's OCR 4 on Azure, and free Grok across Office.
Copy markdown
Teach a skill by doing it, not describing it
Cowork's new Record a Skill captures your screen, clicks, typing, and voice narration, then turns the demo into a reusable skill Claude replays on command — no prompt-writing. It's in the desktop app's '+' menu for Pro, Max, and Team.
A new TTS you can call today tops the arena
Alibaba's Tongyi Lab shipped Qwen-Audio-3.0-TTS as a hosted API in Flash and Plus tiers, spanning 16 languages and 20 dialects with ~300ms first-packet latency. The Plus tier now leads Artificial Analysis' Speech Arena at 1,236 Elo, edging Simba 3.2 and Gemini 3.1 Flash TTS — drop-in voice for agents and apps.
Mistral's OCR 4 and Medium 3.5 land on Azure
Microsoft added Mistral's OCR 4 and Medium 3.5 to Foundry and Copilot Studio, letting you wire document extraction and mid-tier reasoning into Azure agents without leaving the stack. It rides a broader multibillion-dollar Microsoft–Mistral infrastructure deal.
Grok goes free in Office — now Outlook too
xAI's free Microsoft 365 add-ins reached Outlook (email summaries and reply drafts), rounding out a Word/Excel/PowerPoint suite that undercuts Copilot's ~$30/user/month at $0. Install them from Microsoft's Marketplace.
