Getting Started with Claude.ai
Accounts, the interface, and your first useful conversation.
Talking to Claude (Voice Mode)
Hands-free, multilingual voice conversations on the Claude apps.
Claude on Mobile
The iOS and Android apps as a first-class surface.
One Claude: The Merge, Claude Docs & Claude Slides
Cowork, chat and Design became one product on September 16, 2026. What merged, where every setting moved, and how Claude Docs and Claude Slides actually work — including the limits that bite.
Claude Dashboards & Claude Motion
On October 8, 2026 Claude gained two new artifact templates: Dashboards, which writes a SQL query per chart against your warehouse, and Motion, which animates as editable code rather than generated video. What each actually is, the plan matrix, the sharing model that trips everybody up, and when not to use them.
Cowork Scheduled Tasks: Agents That Run With No Device On
The July 2026 Cowork web + mobile launch, in practice — how scheduled tasks run on Anthropic's servers, which capabilities move surface-to-surface, and the gotchas you only hit when the laptop is closed.
Claudeforce: Salesforce in Claude (Sept 2026 open beta)
The Aug 26 Salesforce + Anthropic launch, decoded — what actually ships in the Sept open beta, the 4-tool MCP architecture underneath the 37 skills, and the governance traps every RevOps admin needs to know before enabling it.
Custom Instructions & Styles
Account-wide instructions and response styles, and how they stack.
Projects: Persistent Workspaces
A workspace with its own knowledge base and instructions — so every chat starts already informed. Here is how to set one up, what to put in the knowledge base, and how it differs from the coordinator-and-threads Projects that shipped in Claude Code.
Memory Across Chats
How cross-chat memory works and its availability by plan.
Reflect & Focus
Claude's monthly recap, break reminders, and quiet hours — what they surface, how they depend on memory, and the privacy trade-off worth understanding.
Artifacts: Live, Runnable Outputs
The side panel where Claude builds documents, decks, designs, charts and working apps you can use, iterate on, and export.
Generating Real Files (docx/pptx/xlsx/pdf)
Claude writes and runs code in a sandbox to hand you a finished Word doc, deck, spreadsheet or PDF. How to brief one, the 30MB ceiling, the toggle you have to turn on, and the prompt-injection risk that comes with giving a model a computer.
AI in Your Existing Tools (M365 / Workspace / Slack)
Where you actually meet Claude inside the tools you already use.
Claude in Chrome & Computer Use
The browser agent and desktop control — and the safety model.
Connectors (MCP) in the Apps
Reach external tools and data from the Claude apps.
Plans, Limits & Billing
Free vs Pro vs Max vs Team vs Enterprise — what each tier is actually for, which capabilities are gated behind which plan, how usage limits feel in practice, and why app subscriptions and API billing are different things.
Claude Science
Anthropic's AI workbench for scientists: integrated research tools, auditable artifacts, native 3D visualization, and managed compute — how it differs from chat and Claude Code.
