Welcome to the CRAFT Beta Founding Chef Membership!
Welcome. Ready to Become a Founding Chef?
Signing up during the CRAFT for Claude Cowork Beta records you as a Founding Chef — the permanent mark of the people who were here while CRAFT was still being shaped. The title is only recorded during the Beta window.
What You Get
- Lifetime Founding Chef status — permanent recognition as an early community member who was here while CRAFT was still being shaped.
- Free during the Beta — and the framework is free for everyone anyway, signed up or not: no login, no paywall, no charge. Signing up records your Founding Chef status; it doesn’t unlock the download.
- A direct line to the builder — CRAFT for Claude Cowork is built by one person. During the Beta, your feedback reaches the builder directly and steers what gets built next.
- No obligation — the Beta is free, so there’s nothing to cancel and no charge either way.
After the Beta: Your free Beta membership ends on December 31, 2026. Anything you’ve already downloaded stays yours to use under the terms it had when you got it (see the Terms of Service, Section 4.4).
Why this date? The Beta originally pointed at September 1 — a date set in late 2025 for a different, pre-Cowork version of CRAFT. It has been re-derived from the product’s actual late-June launch, and the honest history is told in full in A Straight Answer About the Beta Deadline.
Will being a Founding Chef include benefits later, or will parts of CRAFT ever be paid? That isn’t decided yet — and we’re not going to promise a price, a discount, or a perk we haven’t worked out. What’s true today: the Beta is free, your feedback reaches the builder directly, and if anything changes, we’ll say so plainly here.
