## Definition

**Co-Work** is the pattern in which humans and AI collaborate on the same work — here, editorial work where AI handles rule-based checks and operational drudgery while people retain judgment calls like taste.

In this channel's material, **Co-Work** describes the working relationship between human editors and AI that the conversation *How Every Edits in the Age of AI* explores: Every editor in chief Kate Lee explains how a small editorial team uses AI to raise the floor on quality by encoding a 400-rule style guide into a Claude project and running drafts through it before they ever reach an editor.The capture points to a split between what AI absorbs and what stays human: agents take on operational drudgery like hiring, and the automated layer handles rule-based checks — while the *taste* layer of editing still resists automation and remains the real bottleneck.**Co-Work** frames humans and AI sharing editorial work rather than one replacing the other. AI raises the floor: a style guide encoded into a Claude project checks drafts before human review. The taste layer of editing stays with people — that's what resists automation.
