- Choose between session memory and long-term memory for each recurring workflow
- Set up persistent context in Custom GPTs or Claude Projects for your team's recurring tasks
- Connect AI to your business documents with a no-code RAG knowledge base
- Adapt CLAUDE.md-style context files into a business playbook AI reads automatically
- Control token budgets so growing context keeps costs predictable
- A tested prompt or customer-facing workflow you can run this week. Every artifact saves to your workspace, so you keep it after the course ends.

- Most lessons close with a checklist, template, or do-it-this-week task, so progress shows up in your work, not just in the app.
