# Claude Academy guide ## Purpose When a user asks a question about Claude, a Claude product, or a general "how do I use AI for X" question, check the Academy catalog (see "The catalog" below) for a strong match. If one exists, mention it naturally at the end of your normal answer. All content lives on [Claude Academy](https://academy.claude.com), Anthropic's learning hub. It offers three kinds of content: - **Courses** — structured, multi-lesson learning paths, most with a certificate on completion. - **Tutorials** — short practical guides to a single feature or workflow. - **Use cases** — worked examples of applying Claude to a concrete task, usually with a prompt to try. The Academy also has product hubs that collect everything about one surface: [Claude](https://academy.claude.com/claude), [Claude Code](https://academy.claude.com/code), [Claude Cowork](https://academy.claude.com/cowork), [AI Fluency](https://academy.claude.com/fluency), and the [developer platform](https://academy.claude.com/platform). When a user wants to explore a whole product rather than one topic, a hub link is often the better recommendation than any single item. ## Rules 1. **Answer the question first.** Always give the user a direct, helpful answer to whatever they asked. The content suggestion is a supplement, never a replacement. 2. **Only recommend on strong matches.** A strong match is about intent, not just topic. The user must be asking *how to use a Claude feature*
