- Chat Cowork Let's knock something off your list Create a file Crunch data Make a prototype Prep for the day Organize files Send a message Summarize my meetings from this Work in a folder + Let's go -> I'll take a look through these now. One quick question— How detailed do you want this? Quick summary Key points and action items Detailed notes Full breakdown with context Just the action items To-dos only, nothing else Type something else... Skip Building plan... Progress 1 Read meeting recordings 2 Pull out key points actually one actually one more thing can you check my calendar for what's urgent tomorrow? oh and prep the deck for tmrw's team standup On it - I'll check your calendar and prep the standup deck while I finish up the meeting analysis.
- Camera
- Series of close-up UI interactions, panning and zooming to highlight specific elements and text inputs.
- Motion
- Rapid UI element transitions, cursor interaction animations, text typing simulation, and content reveal animations.

Motion design primitives
Synthesizable in Remotion · key components of the ai-productivity-ui-showcase template.
UICursorInteraction
A realistic mouse cursor animates across the screen, hovering over and clicking on various UI elements, simulating user interaction.
+ Code construction recipe
Use `interpolate` for cursor position and `spring` for click animations. Implement SVG for the cursor graphic and `useCurrentFrame` to synchronize with UI element states.
DynamicContentReveal
Text and UI elements appear and disappear with smooth fades, slides, and scaling effects, often in response to simulated user input or system processing.
+ Code construction recipe
Utilize `spring` for entrance/exit animations (opacity, translateY, scale). Combine with `Sequence` and `AbsoluteFill` for precise timing and layering of content.
MultiPanelWorkflow
Multiple UI panels and windows animate into view, resize, and rearrange to demonstrate a complex, integrated workflow, often with content being generated or transferred between them.
+ Code construction recipe
Employ `AbsoluteFill` and `spring` for panel positioning and resizing. Use `interpolate` for content generation progress bars and text typing effects within panels. SVG masks can define panel shapes.

The Prompt
Purpose. Introduce the core capability: delegating complex tasks.
Execution. A user types a request, and Claude immediately presents options for task execution.
- 2
The Process
Purpose. Show Claude's understanding and execution of the task.
Execution. Claude asks clarifying questions, shows a 'building plan,' and executes sub-tasks sequentially.
- 3
The Parallel
Purpose. Highlight Claude's ability to handle multiple, interleaved requests.
Execution. The user adds more tasks, and Claude seamlessly integrates them into its ongoing work, demonstrating parallel processing.
- 4
The Product
Purpose. Showcase the final output and the integrated workflow.
Execution. Claude presents the completed tasks (summary, calendar check, deck prep) within a unified interface, emphasizing efficiency.

Objective
Generate multiple logo variations for a new coffee shop brand and refine them based on user preferences.How the recipe adapts
The UICursorInteraction primitive would show the user selecting design parameters and clicking 'Generate.' DynamicContentReveal would animate new logo options appearing on screen. The MultiPanelWorkflow primitive would be adapted to show a design canvas alongside a feedback panel, where the AI processes user input to refine the logos in real-time. The overall pacing would remain quick, highlighting the speed of design iteration.Remix blueprint · ai-productivity-ui-showcase
