Claude is more than a conversational AI. It is a powerful work assistant capable of producing usable files, analyzing complex information, and supporting data-driven decision-making. In this practical, hands-on session, participants will explore what Claude does especially well, where its limitations are, and how to use it effectively for real-world tasks.

 The session will focus on using Claude to move from ideas to finished outputs quickly and confidently. Participants will see how Claude can turn prompts into complete documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and dashboards, while also learning how to guide and refine outputs for professional quality.

Throughout the session, participants will explore practical use cases such as drafting reports, building spreadsheets from raw information, visualizing data, and analyzing uploaded files to extract insights. Equal emphasis will be placed on understanding Claude’s strengths and recognizing situations where other tools or approaches may be more appropriate.
