Claude Code for Business
You've chatted with an AI assistant. This course teaches something different: handing it a real task on your desk and getting back work you can actually check, not just a confident answer. No terminal experience required — lesson 2 starts from a completely blank machine and walks you to your first real result. From there, five practices carry you through a spreadsheet reconciliation with real seeded mismatches, a contract folder that becomes a renewals tracker, and a monthly report that drafts itself from instructions you write once and reuse forever, each with the literal prompts and sample files to run it yourself, not just read about it. By the end you can tell the difference between a demo that impresses and a workflow that survives a real Tuesday, and you'll have the GDPR and EU AI Act basics to use it on company data without guessing. Migrated from a live masterclass at the TUM Chair for Strategy & Organization.
