How the agent did it

- Have Cowork use each role’s job description and the resume to prepare a personalized message.
- Save the resulting emails in Gmail as drafts, ready for the candidate to review and send.
Pratyush Pandey used Claude Cowork to turn a spreadsheet of LinkedIn leads and his resume into personalized outreach drafts in Gmail. He says the messages were tailored to both the job description and his background, then left ready to send. Before this, the work took him hours; he says Cowork reduced it to minutes.
The post describes a narrow workflow with a useful handoff point: Cowork prepares recipient-specific writing, while the messages remain drafts rather than being sent automatically. Pandey does not say how many leads were in the spreadsheet, how the job descriptions were gathered, or whether any email produced a reply or interview. The time saving is his estimate, and the source does not include a before-and-after sample to compare personalization.
For someone adapting the pattern, the useful inputs are a role list, an accurate resume and each role’s actual description. Drafts should stay grounded in the candidate’s experience and remain in Gmail for review. This example shows how to turn repetitive job outreach into a review queue; it does not show that the outreach resulted in a job.
