A hands-on course on having Claude work directly with your files, folders and apps to produce real outputs. It covers running a first task, giving Claude standing context through instructions, projects, skills and plugins, using Claude in Chrome and Microsoft 365, and safe habits for sharing multi-step work.
The step after AI Foundations: learners take a workflow they repeat, break it into steps, find where AI adds value and build a practical plan to use AI across that process, turning one-off prompts into repeatable workflows.
