Who This Course Is For

  • Individual professionals who want to get faster at their actual job, not learn AI theory
  • Team leads checking out Cowork before bringing it to their whole team
  • Anyone non-technical — no coding background assumed at any point

What You’ll Be Able to Do

  • Turn messy folders into organized insight
  • Create client-ready documents and decks
  • Research without twenty open tabs
  • Run agents in parallel while you focus on higher-value work
  • Connect your real tools — Slack, Google Drive, calendars, CRMs
  • Build reusable skills that trigger multi-step workflows with one command
  • Set up a team context folder — the shared brain behind consistent output
  • Ship your first team workflow — something your team uses Monday morning

How It Works

  1. Download the course folder — free from GitHub. Every lesson, scenario file, and template included.
  2. Open Claude Desktop in Cowork mode. Don’t have it? Download it here.
  3. Point Cowork at the course folder — Claude reads the files and becomes your instructor.
  4. Say “start lesson 1.1” and go at your own pace.

Heads up: you’ll need a Claude Pro subscription or higher to run Cowork — the free tier doesn’t include it. The course itself costs nothing.
