About this course
You've learned how to ask AI questions. Now learn how to put AI to work.
Claude can be much more than a place to type a prompt. The 7-Day Claude AI Challenge is a structured, hands-on journey that takes you from better conversations to research, analysis, decision-making, task delegation, automation, website creation and app development.
You learn alongside three people through the whole challenge: Ritika, a university student new to AI; Karan, who runs a small business; and Takshika, who designs training content.
Every day follows the same simple pattern: see the steps, see a real example, then practise it yourself straight away. You don't read about four things and practise once at the end. You do each skill as you learn it.
What you'll be able to do after 7 days:
• WRITE more effectively
• RESEARCH with greater depth
• ANALYSE complex information
• THINK through decisions
• DELEGATE complete tasks
• AUTOMATE repeatable work
• BUILD websites and functional apps
Why this challenge?
Basic AI prompting is becoming common. What sets you apart is what you can do beyond the prompt. Can you use AI to research? Structure an analysis? Delegate an entire task? Build a webpage? Turn an idea into a working app?
This challenge takes you step by step from everyday AI use to real-world workflows. By the end, you won't just know what Claude can do. You'll know how to put Claude to work on your own tasks.
