Conversation Mode and Code Mode answer an immediate question: what can I ask an AI to do right now? Cowork answers a different question: what can I ask an AI to work on over time?
The distinction matters more than it might seem. Today’s AI tools are stateless by default. You open a session, do something useful, and close it. Tomorrow you start again from scratch. The model doesn’t remember what you were working on. It doesn’t know your preferences. It can’t pick up where you left off.
Cowork changes this.
What Cowork is
Cowork is a shared workspace where Jivam operates as a persistent collaborator — not a one-off assistant. You set up a project. You give Jivam context about what you’re trying to accomplish. And then you work together over days or weeks, with Jivam maintaining memory of everything you’ve discussed, decided, and built.
Think of it less like using a tool and more like working with a capable colleague who has perfect memory and is available at any time.
Long-horizon tasks
The use case we’re most excited about: assigning Jivam to work on a task autonomously while you’re doing something else.
Not “generate this function” — but “research the best approach to this architecture problem, summarise the trade-offs, and draft a proposal.” Or “review our last three sprint’s worth of commits and identify recurring patterns in the bugs we’re fixing.”
These are tasks that take time, require holding a lot of context, and benefit from a collaborator who can think deeply — not just complete quickly.
When it ships
Cowork will launch first for Pro users. We’re targeting a beta in the next two months. If you want early access, upgrade to Pro — you’ll be first in line.
