The Free Claude
Use Cases Page

If you’ve learned a bunch about AI but still freeze on what to actually do with it, this free Anthropic page is the fix. Here’s how to use it.

The hardest part of learning AI isn’t the tools. It’s staring at a blank screen thinking “okay… now what do I actually use this for?”

Anthropic has a free page that answers exactly that, and almost nobody knows it exists. It’s the use cases page inside Claude Academy, a library of real, step-by-step ways to use Claude at work and at home. It used to live at claude.com/resources/use-cases, and that link now sends you here. Save this, then go steal a few ideas for your exact job.

How To Use It

01

Know what you’re looking at

Each use case is a short walkthrough with a time estimate (most say 10 or 15 minutes). You get the setup, a copy-paste prompt with a Copy prompt button, usually a Try in Claude or Try in Cowork button, follow-up prompts, and tips for making it repeatable with a skill or a schedule.

02

Filter by your job

Across the top, pick your role. There are 14 of them, from Marketing and Sales to Finance, HR, Legal, Education and Personal. Every example on screen is suddenly relevant to your actual day.

03

Pick the product you have

The page groups examples by where they run. Most use regular Claude chat or Claude Cowork, and a few use Claude in Chrome or Claude Tag, which puts Claude inside Slack (a beta for Team and Enterprise plans). Click View all to see everything with Product and Role filters. If you only use the Claude app, start with the Claude section. Claude in Chrome examples need a paid plan.

04

Steal one of these to start

Education: Turn research into presentations. Upload a paper and Claude pulls the key findings, suggests a story flow and drafts slide outlines and speaker notes.

Marketing: Create on-brand content in Cowork.

Finance: Forecast & scenario modeling in Cowork, with an optional Finance plugin.

Personal: Clean up promotional emails with Claude in Chrome. It lists the promo senders in your Gmail and deletes only what you approve.

The point isn’t to copy mine. Open the page, find your role and grab the one that makes you go “oh, I need that.”

05

Make it yours

Found one you like? Don’t just nod at it. Paste this into Claude with the example and your real details, and run it today.

Adapt Any Use Case
You are my AI workflow coach. I found an example on Claude Academy's use cases page and I want to run my own version of it today. The example I found: [paste the use case title and its prompt, or describe it] My job and situation: [your role, your industry, who the work is for] My real inputs: [the files, data, tools or accounts this would use, and attach them if you can] What a great result looks like: [the finished thing, its format and length, and who will read it] Do this: 1. In 3 or 4 sentences, tell me how my version differs from the example and what you need from me that I haven't given you. Ask those questions in one short list, then wait. 2. Once I answer, do the first real run with my inputs. 3. After the result, tell me the 2 things I should change in my inputs or instructions to make the next run better. 4. If this is something I'll repeat, write it up as a short reusable prompt I can save as a skill or in a Project. Guardrails: use only the facts and files I give you, mark anything you assumed, and ask before you send, delete or change anything in a connected tool.

Why This Matters

Most people learning AI quit because they never connect it to their real work. This page is the bridge. Bookmark it, check it when you’re stuck, and you’ll always have something real to do with Claude.
