Mastering Claude Cowork & AI Agents in 5 hours [2026]

About this course

In this course, you’ll learn how to move beyond AI-assisted work and simple prompts to build agentic systems that execute tasks, automate workflows, and deliver real business outcomes.

You’ll go from understanding how AI works to designing and deploying AI agents that connect to tools, process data, and operate across real-world systems.

We’ll start with the foundations of Claude Cowork and the shift toward autonomous agents. Then, you’ll learn how to connect AI to external tools using MCP, manage context and tokens efficiently, and design powerful agent capabilities.

A core focus of this course is building and extending agents using skills and plugins.

You’ll learn how to:

• Structure and write SKILL Markdown files to define agent behaviour
• Install and manage skills from the marketplace
• Extend your agent with custom capabilities
• Use and customize Claude plugins for real-world workflows

From there, you’ll build production-ready systems using the Data Plugin, where you’ll perform:

• Data cleaning and validation
• Data visualization and dashboard creationstatistical analysis
• Automated reporting and PowerPoint generation
• You’ll also create your own custom plugins and automated workflows, including financial forecasting systems and end-to-end automation pipelines.

By the end of the course, you won’t just be using AI—you’ll be building fully functional AI agents that can analyze, execute, and deliver results independently.

You’ll also master practical applications of Claude for:

• Content creation
• Coding and problem-solving
• Deep research and document analysis
• Financial data extraction from PDFsDashb
