What you've covered

What you've covered

Module 1

Meet Claude Cowork

What Cowork is, how it differs from Chat and Code, the kinds of work it's built for, and your first real task.

Module 2

Make Claude Cowork Yours

Global instructions, projects, skills, and plugins — how much more capable Cowork becomes when it knows what you know, has access to what you have access to, and does things the way your team does.

Module 3

Use Claude wherever you work

Cowork in your browser via Claude in Chrome, and inside Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook via Claude in M365.

Module 4

Sharing and safety in Claude Cowork

Working with autonomy responsibly, validating what you build, and turning personal workflows into team infrastructure.

Hand off a task, get a polished deliverable.

The throughline: Cowork goes beyond chat to allow you to delegate real work. Everything else in the course builds on that.

Try it now

Pick one of these to do this week.

• **Set up memory. ** Write a five-sentence global instructions block, or create a project for a stream of work you're already in.
• **Schedule a task or set up Dispatch. ** Take a recurring deliverable and put it on a cadence. Or set up Dispatch so that the next time something comes to mind off-hours, you can hand it to Cowork.
• **Install a plugin. Go to Customize → Plugins** , install the plugin closest to your role, and run it against this week's version of your work.
• **Try Claude in Chrome or M365. ** Pick the surface that aligns with where most of your real work happens, install it, and use it on one task.
• **Share something you built. ** Share a use case you found valuable, a workflow that produced great results, or a skill you've built with your team. You could be the unlock they need to get more comfortable working with Claude.

Go deeper

A few learning paths worth knowing about:

• AI Fluency: Framework & Foundations**. ** The foundations of working effectively with AI — prompting, evaluating output, knowing when AI is and isn't the right tool.
• AI Capabilities and Limitations**. ** A deeper survey of what generative AI tools can do across modalities and surfaces.
• Claude 101**. ** The companion course on using Claude across all surfaces.
• Claude use-case library**. ** Filter to Claude Cowork for ideas and inspiration on what to delegate next.
