How I Learn Claude AI on Anthropic Academy | Free Claude AI Courses 2026
Anthropic released a free Claude AI course on Anthropic Academy — and I walked through the entire thing so you don't have to. In under 10 minutes you'll learn what Claude Code actually is, why it's safer than indexed alternatives like GitHub Workspace, how to install it, and the three CLAUDE.md files that change how the agent behaves.
I'm Ani — a senior tech consultant in Stockholm building AI tools for enterprise finance. I take official AI courses on real production projects and share what's worth your time (and what isn't).

WHO I AM
I'm Ani — Stockholm-based senior tech consultant. I've spent 11+ years in enterprise fintech (Snowflake, Azure, SimCorp) and now build AI workflows for asset managers and pension funds. This channel is what I wish existed when I started using AI on real production code.
👏 Big thanks to @AnthropicAI for the free course, and shout-out to @MattPocock, @SabrinaRamonov, @AIFoundations, and @KevinStratvert whose Claude Code content shaped how I think about agentic coding.
