Claude Code and Cowork are incredible products, and can do much more than just search. Lots of people are paying hundreds of dollars a month for them.

If you’re just using AI for search then I can see why you’d not see the value. But many people really are getting a huge amount of value out of agents, and are already paying for it.

That said, agentic search connected to your companies information sources is very valuable on its own. We have just connected up our internal zendesk, Jira, confluence, and github in Claude Code and it’s incredible how useful it is to find information spread across different services in 1 minute instead of it personally taking me 15 minutes of manual search.
