Overview
In this one-day course, students will be introduced to using Claude Chat, which is the conversational artificial intelligence interface that is used to create custom text, analysis, and interactive applications in the Claude Chat (https://claude.ai) environment. The course covers some of the theoretical underpinnings of large language models and prompt engineering, but the emphasis is on using Claude to solve common business problems. Students will learn how to write their own structured prompts, collaborate with interactive artifacts, organize multi-chat projects, and build reusable skills to automate repetitive workflows. This instructor-led course consists of a combination of lecture, demonstrations, and hands-on labs.
In this two-day course, students will be introduced to using Claude Cowork, which is Anthropic's autonomous AI agent language and execution system used to manage complex, multi-step knowledge work directly within the Claude Desktop (https://claude.ai) environment. The course covers the structural requirements, permission frameworks, and interface dynamics needed to safely run computer use capabilities, but the emphasis is on leveraging Claude Cowork to handle long-running, autonomous business workflows. Students will learn how to configure persistent workspace context files, integrate native connectors and third-party Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, build reusable custom AI skills, and schedule fully automated daily or weekly tasks. This instructor-led course consists of a combination of lecture, demonstrations, and hands-on labs.
