We'll talk a little bit about what this course is, why Claude is different from ChatGPT, and show you a little bit about the settings. We'll also talk a little bit about the difference between a Teams and a personal account.
In this module you'll build your AI command center!
Your starter instructions were fine. These will be dramatically better. Learn the five-part instruction framework that turns generic AI responses into advice that sounds like it came from someone who's worked with you for years.
Your instructions tell Claude who it is. Your Knowledge Base tells it what it needs to know. In this module, you'll upload the right files, connect your documents, and see how Claude goes from smart-in-general to smart-about-your-business.
Claude remembers things about you between conversations — and you have full control over what it keeps. Most people never touch this. In this module, you'll master it. By the end, you'll have a clean, curated memory that makes Claude smarter every time you use it.
Claude can search the web, create spreadsheets, build interactive tools, and generate polished documents — all inside a conversation. Most people have no idea these features exist. In this module, you'll discover what Claude can actually do and create a real business deliverable you'd normally spend hours on.
Skills turn your best workflows into reusable tools. Instead of re-explaining how you want something done, you write it once and Claude runs it the same way every time. For example, use your SOW template and a meeting transcript to create the full doc in minutes. In this module, you'll understand what Skills are, dissect a real one, and build two of your own.
You've built the pieces. Now we assemble the machine. In this module, you'll tie everything together into a weekly system you'll actually use — with a daily check-in that plans your mornings, and a look at the advanced skills that show you what's possible when you push Claude further.
Claude doesn't just chat. Cowork is a desktop agent that reads your local files, executes multi-step tasks, and delivers finished work — all without touching a terminal. This is a quick intro so you know it exists and what it's for.
Claude Code is terminal-based Claude with file system access. It can work for hours without stopping. And it's not just for developers — it's for anyone who wants maximum power from Claude. In this module, you'll install it, run your first commands, and see something that'll change how you think about what's possible.
You made it through the course and now you know how to use Claude.ai like an expert, with a solid understanding of Cowork and Claude Code now. You're ready to start architecting your full system, save a ton of time, compound your learning and then build agents with Cowork and Claude Code!
