Work groups
Create and use work groups, which keep ongoing work together with its work folder, instructions, and memos.
This page explains how to keep ongoing work together in a 「作業グループ」 (work group). With a work group, you can start work without choosing a folder or repeating the same notes every time.
Recorded in the actual Hane Cowork app (connected to a test Platform with scripted model responses). The app UI is in Japanese; English captions explain each step.
What a work group is
Section titled “What a work group is”A work group collects the work for one job. Create one for each job you come back to, such as “organizing quotes” or “monthly closing”. A work group holds four things:
| Item | Contents |
|---|---|
| Name | The name shown in the list. Up to 80 characters |
| Work folder | The folder that work in this group may read and write |
| Instructions | What Hane follows in every task in this group. Up to 8,000 characters |
| Memos | Things Hane noted to remember during work. The next task reads them |
Work started from a work group reads and writes the group’s work folder and follows its instructions and memos. Work groups are saved only on this device and are not synced between devices.
Creating a work group
Section titled “Creating a work group”-
Create the work group
Open 「作業グループ」 (Work groups) in the sidebar, enter a name in 「新しい作業グループの名前」 (New work group name), and press 「作成する」 (Create). The work group’s page opens.
-
Choose a work folder
Under 「作業フォルダ」 (Work folder), press 「フォルダを選ぶ」 (Choose folder) and select a folder. Until you choose one, work in this group does not read or write files. Use 「フォルダを選び直す」 (Choose again) or 「フォルダを外す」 (Remove folder) to change it.
-
Write instructions
In 「指示」 (Instructions), write what every task should follow, then press 「名前と指示を保存」 (Save name and instructions). For example:
金額は税込みで書き、表は Markdown にしてください。(Write amounts including tax, and make tables in Markdown.)
Starting work in a work group
Section titled “Starting work in a work group”On the work group’s page, press 「この作業グループで新しい作業」 (New work in this group) to open a new request box. Below the box, the work group’s name and work folder are shown. Then write and send your request just like work on this PC.
- In work group tasks, you cannot change the work folder from the request box. Change it on the work group’s page.
- To start without the work group, press 「作業グループから外す」 (Remove from work group) on the work group label in the request box. You can then choose a work folder for that task alone.
- Sent work appears under 「作業」 (Work) on the work group’s page. You can also open it from the history in the sidebar.
Instructions and memos
Section titled “Instructions and memos”Each time work starts in a work group, Cowork adds the instructions and memos after the harness instructions.
During work, Hane can leave things to remember as memos in the work group. When it does, 「作業の進行」 (Progress) shows 「作業グループのメモに残す」 (Save to work group memo). The next task in the work group reads these memos.
- Check memos under 「メモ」 (Memos) on the work group’s page. Delete any you don’t need with the delete button next to each one.
- Each memo can be up to 500 characters, with up to 50 memos per work group.
- The memo tool writes only to Cowork’s state on the device. Because it does not touch files, the browser, the PC, or anything external, it is not subject to the organization’s local feature policy (allow, ask, deny).
Changing and deleting
Section titled “Changing and deleting”On the work group’s page, you can change the name, instructions, and work folder. While work in the group is running, you cannot change the instructions or delete the group. Wait until the work ends.
Press 「作業グループを削除」 (Delete work group), then 「削除する」 (Delete), to delete a work group.
- The work group’s name, instructions, and memos are deleted.
- Work done in the group and the contents of the work folder remain. The work stays in history as ordinary work.
