Example replyTen outliers in home fitness, ranked by score. Most hooks pair a bold claim with a time limit ("20 minutes, no equipment"). Saved the top three to your ViewsMax library tagged swipe. Want post drafts built on the best hook?
What happens next- Before it uses a ViewsMax tool that changes something, Claude Cowork asks for your OK.
- Outlier research reads a shared database, so it works before you've connected a single channel; anything it saves lands in your ViewsMax library.
- Posts are stored as drafts or queued for the time you gave. At publish time ViewsMax sends to each channel separately and keeps a result per platform, so one failure never blocks the rest.
What can you ask Claude Cowork to do?
Pull YouTube outliers in personal finance from this month and explain the hook behind the top three. Save the best one to my library.
Put this on my LinkedIn and Bluesky for Thursday at 8:30am my time: "Our free content calendar template is out — grab it from the link in my bio."
Take the video at https://example.com/reel.mp4 and make it an Instagram Reel and a TikTok draft. Give TikTok a shorter caption than Instagram.
I'm promoting my ebook at https://example.com/ebook. Set it up as an offer with sales as the goal, and make separate tracked links for YouTube and Instagram.
Rank my offers by revenue for the past 30 days and tell me which traffic source is actually converting.

Troubleshooting
No ViewsMax tools in the list
Make sure ViewsMax is switched on for the conversation you're in, then open a fresh one. Still missing? Remove ViewsMax and connect it again.
Reads work, but posting is refused
The connection was approved as read-only. Reconnect and pick full access on the ViewsMax approval screen, or swap in a full-access API key.
Media won't upload
Uploading a file into the chat window isn't enough — ViewsMax downloads media from a link. Host the file at a public https address that serves the file itself, not a preview page. Accepted: JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, MP4, MOV.
A channel isn't listed
Link it under Dashboard → Connections in ViewsMax (your AI can also hand you a connect link), then run the test prompt again.
One platform published, another didn't
Each platform is published separately in the background and keeps its own status. Ask for the status of that post to see the exact error the platform sent back.
Frequently asked questions
Can Cowork post to social media?
Yes, once ViewsMax is connected. Cowork can't log in to Instagram, TikTok or any other platform itself, so ViewsMax acts as the bridge: Cowork drafts, times and sends out posts on YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, X, LinkedIn, Threads, Bluesky through the channels you've linked in ViewsMax.
Does Cowork see my social media passwords?
Never. Your platform logins never leave ViewsMax. Cowork holds a ViewsMax permission — read-only or full, your choice — and every action it takes is logged under Settings → AI Assistant Access.
Will Cowork post without asking me?
Cowork checks with you before it runs anything that changes your account. If you want an extra safety net, tell it to keep everything as drafts and approve them yourself in ViewsMax.
How much does it cost?
Connecting an AI agent costs nothing extra. What it can do follows your ViewsMax plan, such as monthly posts and active offers. The free plan is $0, and paid plans start at $29 a month — compare them on viewsmax.com.
What is MCP, and why does ViewsMax use it?
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the open standard AI apps use to call outside tools. ViewsMax runs an MCP server, so any agent that speaks MCP gets the same 26 tools — posting, offers, analytics and outlier research — after a single sign-in.
What else can it do besides posting?
Quite a lot. The same connection sets up offers and tracked links, reports clicks, booked calls, sign-ups and revenue per offer, and digs into outlier videos on YouTube, TikTok and Instagram with an AI breakdown of each.
Do I need to set ViewsMax up separately for Cowork?
No. Cowork reads the connectors on your Claude account, so a single ViewsMax connection covers both.
Using a different AI agent?
From one chat to every channel
Link your accounts once. After that, publishing, tracked links and sales reports are a message away.
