Nicolas Cole uses Claude as a conversational hub and Notion as his drafting space, moving work between them in a loop. He drafts in Claude, copies to Notion for editing and version control, exports as Markdown, then re-uploads to Claude to keep refining the same document indefinitely.
Notion and Cowork together is really just a super advanced version of a Claude project. This is how I tend to use projects. It's a very simple workflow. I chat with Claude inside of the project window and I'm like, here's the thing that I want to do. Before I move forward, I want to make sure that the previous point of context has been uploaded. I want to make sure that Claude understands, okay, I just uploaded this thing. Let's make sure we're on the same page before we continue. Then as I assemble the new thing, this is like projects and Notion, not Cowork. Work. As I start to draft something inside of Claude, I draft it inside of Claude and then I just copy paste it over to Notion. And then wherever I finish in Notion, I export it from Notion as a Markdown file. Now you can do a PDF, but Claude prefers Markdown files. And then I drag it and I re-upload it to the Claude project. It becomes, as you use a Claude project and maybe you do your drafting or writing somewhere else, like it could be a Google Doc, it could be Obsidian, it could be wherever, all you're doing is you're chatting inside the Claude project, you're moving, you're doing the versioning version 2 in some sort of writing workspace, and then when you land on a finished draft, you export it and you re-upload it to the project, and you do that little loop over and over and over again.
