About this course

This course from Anthropic teaches you how to write prompts that actually work in the real world. You'll move beyond simple queries and learn to build prompts for extraction, classification, and building AI agents that can handle complex tasks. It's designed by the creators of Claude, so you're learning directly from the source.

What you'll learn

  • How to structure prompts for reliable information extraction from unstructured text
  • Techniques for classification tasks — categorizing data, documents, or content accurately
  • Building multi-step agentic workflows where Claude makes decisions and takes actions
  • Prompt patterns and best practices that reduce errors and improve consistency
  • How to test and iterate on prompts to get better results
  • Real-world examples you can adapt for your own projects and work
  • Understanding limitations and when to use Claude effectively versus other approaches

Who this is for

You're ready for this course if you've experimented with AI before and want to go deeper — not just asking questions, but building reliable systems. This is for people who want to leverage AI in their actual work or business.

  • Software developers — learn to integrate Claude APIs and agentic workflows into applications
  • Product managers and founders — understand how to use AI strategically in products and workflows
  • Data professionals — master extraction and classification for real-world data tasks

Prerequisites

You should have basic familiarity with AI tools like ChatGPT or Claude — you know what a prompt is and have tried using it. No coding experience required, though developers will get the most from the advanced sections.

Why this matters for Indian learners

India's tech sector is moving fast toward AI-first roles. Companies across startups, IT consulting (TCS, Infosys, Wipro), and product teams are hiring people who can actually build with AI, not just talk about it. Prompt engineering skills are immediately valuable — they translate to higher salaries and faster promotions in roles ranging from customer success to product development.

Whether you're in Bangalore, Mumbai, or anywhere else, learning to work with Claude directly opens doors: building automation for your own startup, adding AI to client projects, or positioning yourself for the next wave of AI-native roles in India's growing tech economy.
