In this video, I break down the 3 levels of Cowork prompting and show you what it actually looks like to reach level three: chaining multiple skills together, connecting to Gmail and other tools, and building fully automated workflows that run on their own. I'll walk you through building a real blog post workflow inside Cowork, using skills like a YouTube transcript puller, content extractor, and SEO keyword integrator — all chained together. Plus I cover the Trigger → Skill → Output framework that makes everything click. If you've been using Cowork but feel like you're not getting the most out of it, this is the video that changes that.
