About this course

Most people treat Claude like a search box and end up with confident-sounding answers they cannot defend. This course replaces that with a research-grade workflow: feed Claude your own documents, force it to cite where each claim came from, and synthesize across hundreds of pages using the 200,000-token context window. Every lesson uses real features — Projects, Artifacts, the model picker — plus named frameworks and worked examples so you can summarize a 60-page report, compare five competitors, or build an evidence-backed brief the same day you learn it.
