How to Master Claude and ChatGPT: Everything in It
A complete operator's manual for the two frontier assistants. You will learn what the models actually are, walk through every shipped feature (Projects, Artifacts, Canvas, Memory, Code Interpreter, Custom GPTs, MCP, Claude Code), build a personal prompt system, and ship five real deliverables you can put in front of a client or a recruiter.
What you walk away with
- Explain tokens, context windows and reasoning modes in plain language
- Use every major feature of ChatGPT and Claude without guessing
- Write prompts with a repeatable 6-part structure instead of vibes
- Build a Custom GPT and a Claude Project for your own work
- Automate one real task end-to-end with the API (key placeholder provided)
