Claude Cowork for Execs & Operators

Maximize Claude without becoming an engineer.

Cowork isn't a smarter chatbot. It's the AI coworker you'd otherwise hire a contractor or intern for. It drafts proposals, pulls analytics, sends follow-ups, and more.

This course is the shortcut: everything a non-engineer needs to set it up, in under 30 minutes.

How to Maximize This Course

  • Individuals: Pick a real workflow you do every week and use it as your playground. The faster you build a skill for it, the more it sticks.
  • Teams: Roll out Cowork across the team so everyone's working with the same playbook. Want help getting the most out of Cowork on your team's real work? See our Team Workshops.

What you'll learn

Delegate real work, not just questions

Turn Cowork from a chat tool into an agent that drafts, researches, and ships work for you

Plug Claude into your business

Set up connectors and skills so Claude works inside your actual tools and workflows

Run Claude like a pro
