Claude AI in 15 minutes: the complete beginner's guide
There are six levels to using Claude, and most people never leave the first one.
This is all six, in the time it takes to make coffee. What each level is for, one real demo each, and what it costs you. Free or paid, said out loud every time.
I run one example the whole way through, a small coffee roastery, so you watch one thing get built rather than thirty disconnected tips.
At the end I tell you which level most people should actually stop at. It is not level six, and the reason has nothing to do with what the tool can do.
