Live Demo Q&A Assistant

What this task does

Every demo has a moment where a technical or security question stalls the room. With your product documentation in the workspace, this task turns Cowork into a silent teammate on your second screen — answering from your approved docs, not from imagination.

Set up once

1. Save product docs, security/compliance one-pagers, and integration lists into docs/.
2. Before the demo, open a session with the brief below so context is loaded.
3. Position it on a second screen, not the shared one.

The task brief

Paste this into Claude Cowork:

I am about to run a demo for [FILL IN: company, persona, use case]. Load our product docs. During the next hour I will paste questions as they come up. Answer each in under 60 words using only the docs folder — if the docs don't cover it, say 'not in docs' and suggest how I should respond honestly. Keep a running list of every question asked for my follow-up email.

What you get back

• Sub-minute grounded answers mid-demo
• An honest 'not in docs' instead of an invented capability
• A captured question list that writes your follow-up for you

Guardrails

• Never claim a capability the docs don't support — 'I'll confirm and follow up' wins more deals than a wrong yes.
• Keep the assistant off the shared screen.
