Training programme

1. Introduction to Claude AI in working with documents

Claude AI is positioned here as a tool for working with large, multi-page business documents rather than only short prompts. Participants examine supported file types, core limitations, and practical work organization using Projects, Artifacts, knowledge repositories, and context management across successive analyses.

  • what Claude is and how it differs from other AI models:
    • Claude as a tool for working with large documents,
    • capabilities for working with PDF, DOCX, XLSX files and presentations,
    • handling multi-page documents,
    • limitations and best practices,
  • organization of work with documents in Claude:
    • projects (Projects),
    • artifacts (Artifacts),
    • building a knowledge repository,
    • context and analysis history management.

2. Importing and processing documents

Before analysis starts, documents must be loaded and interpreted correctly. This part covers work with PDF, Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and technical files, including OCR for scans, verification of text recognition, and reading structural elements such as tables of contents, chapters, tables, charts, and diagrams.

  • loading documents into Claude:
    • PDFs,
    • Word documents,
    • PowerPoint presentations,
    • Excel spreadsheets,
    • technical documentation,
  • working with scanned documents:
    • OCR and text recognition,
    • document quality issues,
    • verification of reading correctness,
  • analysis of the document structure:
    • tables of contents,
    • sections and chapters,
    • tables,
    • charts,
    • diagrams and schematics.

3. Automatic document summarization

From long source materials, Claude can produce summaries tailored to different decision-making levels. Participants practice preparing Executive Summary, managerial, technical, and board-ready versions, extracting conclusions, risks, recommendations, and actions, and converting content into notes, periodic reports, and decision documents.

  • creating summaries:
    • Executive Summary
    • managerial summary
    • technical summary
    • summary for the management board
  • extraction of the most important information:
    • key conclusions,
    • risks,
    • recommendations,
    • actions to be taken,
  • Creating notes and reports:
    • meeting notes,
    • periodic reports,
    • project summaries,
    • decision documents.

4. Analysis of business documents

Business records become useful when key entries, patterns, and operational links can be extracted quickly. The section covers work with financial, sales, operational, and ESG reports, along with process documentation, procedures, operating instructions, and organizational policies to create structured summaries and relationships.

  • analysis of reports and statements:
    • financial reports,
    • sales reports,
    • operational reports,
    • ESG reports,
  • information retrieval:
    • searching for specific entries,
    • trend analysis,
    • identification of relationships,
    • creating summaries,
  • analysis of business processes:
    • process documentation,
    • procedures,
    • operating instructions,
    • organizational policies.

5. Analysis of contracts and legal documents

Contracts and internal regulations must be reviewed for obligations, timelines, and exposure to risk. This section develops methods for locating liability clauses, contractual penalties, deadlines, and risk provisions in commercial agreements, IT contracts, NDAs, and procedures, as well as comparing versions and documenting changes.

  • review of legal documents:
    • commercial contracts,
    • IT contracts,
    • NDAs,
    • regulations and procedures,
  • searching for key provisions:
    • liability of the parties,
    • contractual penalties,
    • performance deadlines,
    • risk clauses,
  • comparing documents:
    • analysis of differences between versions,
    • identification of changes,
    • creation of change reports,
    • verification of compliance.

6. Technical documentation analysis

Technical documentation often spans specifications, APIs, system descriptions, and implementation instructions that must stay consistent with project materials. Participants work with business requirements, User Stories, functional and architecture documents, and learn to transform them into internal guides, FAQ resources, and knowledge repositories.

  • IT and system documentation:
    • technical specifications,
    • API documentation,
    • systems documentation,
    • implementation instructions,
  • working with project documentation:
    • business requirements,

    • instructions for users.

7. Analysis of research and scientific documents

Scientific publications demand a different reading approach than operational or legal materials. The training addresses analysis of articles, identification of methods and findings, and assessment of publication quality, then moves to literature comparison, research trend analysis, and creation of structured knowledge bases.

  • working with scientific publications:
    • analysis of articles,
    • searching for research methods,
    • identification of research results,
    • assessment of publication quality,
  • literature review:
    • comparing publications,
    • analysis of research trends,
    • creating literature reviews,
    • building expert knowledge bases.

8. Analysis of multiple documents simultaneously

Working across multiple files requires more than separate summaries of each source. This part focuses on combining information, detecting inconsistencies, checking compliance, and benchmarking offers, procedures, competitors, and standards, then turning findings into aggregate reports, recommendations, and dependency maps.

  • Cross-document analysis:
    • combining information from multiple sources,
    • detecting inconsistencies,
    • compliance analysis,
    • creating aggregate reports,
  • Document benchmarking:

    • competition analysis,
    • standards analysis,
  • knowledge synthesis:
    • creating aggregate reports,
    • building recommendations,
    • mapping dependencies,
    • creating information dashboards.

9. Advanced prompting techniques

Effective prompting determines whether Claude delivers a generic answer or a domain-specific analysis. Participants learn to design prompts for expert, legal, financial, and technical work, build reusable templates for reports and audits, and refine results iteratively through contextual questioning and validation.

  • designing effective prompts:
    • expert analysis,
    • legal analysis,
    • financial analysis,
    • technical analysis,
  • creating analysis templates:
    • report templates,
    • audit templates,

    • automation of repetitive analyses,
  • iterative work with the document:
    • deepening the analysis,
    • asking contextual questions,
    • validation of responses,
    • elimination of interpretative errors.

10. Security and good practices

In document-heavy environments, safe use of Claude depends on clear rules for confidential, personal, business, and internal data. The section also covers response verification, hallucination detection, source validation, and result audits, then applies them in hands-on workflows built on participants’ own documents.

  • data protection:
    • confidential data,
    • personal data,
    • business information,
    • internal documents,
  • quality control of analyses:
    • verification of AI responses,
    • identification of hallucinations,
    • validation of sources,
    • audit of results,
  • practical workshop:
    • analysis of participants' real documents,
    • creation of own analysis templates,
    • automation of daily documentation tasks,
    • preparation of individual workflows for working with Claude.

What are the prerequisites for participating in the training?

Basic document handling - You should be comfortable working with PDFs, Word files, spreadsheets, and presentations, so during the training you can focus on analysis rather than basic file handling.

icon

Business context awareness - You should understand core terms used in reports, procedures, and business documentation, so you can interpret analysis results correctly and ask meaningful follow-up questions.

icon

Ability to frame clear questions - You should be able to describe a problem, analysis goal, or expected output clearly, because effective work with Claude depends on precise prompts and document-related instructions.

icon

Awareness of data sensitivity - You should understand which documents contain confidential, personal, or business-sensitive data, so you can use AI responsibly during exercises and in your later day-to-day work.
