Learn Claude, step by step

Claude is a careful reader. It shines when you hand it real material, a long document or a messy set of notes, and ask for a specific shape of answer. The course starts there and works up to delegating whole tasks.

Good for: People who work with long documents, writing and analysis, and anyone curious about agents.

The tool: Claude (Anthropic), at claude.ai. AILE teaches it to learners 18 and older, in line with the provider's terms.
