Highly-practical and focused on giving you a new superpower, all before dinner
By the end of this course, you will have used an emerging fluency in AI to collaborate with Claude. The best part? You'll learn while also building something useful by the end of the course.
A complex report for your boss, a new morning routine that sets you up for the day ahead, a tool that helps you with industry research. Something that you can put to immediately use while showcasing your new skills.
While Claude will be used for teaching and live demos, the foundations you learn will translate well in your use of other AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Copilot.
Past students have used what they learned to create their own personalized daily newspaper, an automated report of all their daily meetings, an email subscription cancellation tool, an automation that does their expense reports for them, and even launch their own personal websites. All in under 3 hours.
You'll understand how to prompt effectively, organize your work inside Claude, and automate tasks with Cowork. More importantly, you'll walk away knowing how to keep getting better on your own.
What you’ll learn
In short, you will walk away with the building blocks and skills to transform your career as AI assistants emerge as tools of the future.
What Claude is as a thinking partner. Setting the right mental model from the start.
Tour of the Claude interface: chat window, sidebar, how conversations are saved, and basic navigation.
Tour of the Claude interface: chat window, sidebar, how conversations are saved, basic navigation.
A professional prompting framework: Context, Task, Format, Constraints. Breaking down what each element does and why.
Common mistakes: being too vague, not giving context, accepting the first output without pushing back.
The methods used to take something you want to do, find where in your life to do it, and reinforce its growth with help from Claude
The problem Projects solve: without them, every conversation starts from zero. What a Project is and when to use one.
Memory: what it is, how Claude builds it over time, and how to actively give Claude information about you that sticks.
What an artifact is in Claude: a structured, standalone output, not just a chat response. Docs, templates, plans, frameworks.
How to prompt for an artifact: specificity in format, length, tone, and structure. Showing Claude what 'done' looks like.
Exporting and using artifacts: copying, saving, and bringing them into other tools.
What Cowork is and how it differs from Claude chat: moving from conversation to execution. The 'do it for me' layer.
File and document creation: how to have Cowork generate and save a real file from a prompt or an artifact.
Workflow automation: turning a task or set of notes into a repeatable process. Live demo with a real example.
