Open Claude and try each of the three roles with the same piece of work:
  1. Assistant: Paste meeting notes or a messy email thread. Use the starter prompt: “You’re my Assistant. Turn this into a punchy action list with owners and due dates. Keep it short.”
  2. Thinker: Ask Claude to help you decide between two options at work. Use: “You’re my Thinker. Give me 3 options, a pros/cons table, then recommend one and explain why.”
  3. Creator: Ask Claude to draft something from scratch. Use: “You’re my Creator. Draft a first version with headings and bullets. Friendly, professional, and not too long.”
Notice how each role changes the style and focus of the response, even when working with similar content.
Practice selecting the right model and thinking mode for different tasks:
  1. Quick lookup: Ask Claude a simple factual question using Haiku or Sonnet in standard mode. Notice how fast it responds.
  2. Everyday writing: Draft a short email using Sonnet. Observe the balance between speed and quality.
  3. Complex reasoning: Ask Claude to analyse a multi-step problem using Opus with extended thinking. Compare the depth of reasoning to your earlier responses.
Observe how the right combination saves time on simple tasks and improves quality on complex ones.
Test the different ways to give Claude the information it needs:
  1. File upload: Click the attachment icon and upload a PDF or document. Ask Claude a question about its contents.
  2. Connectors: If available, link Claude to Google Drive or another tool. Ask it to search for a specific document.
  3. Projects: Create a new Project and upload a reference document (like a style guide or template). Start a conversation and see how Claude uses it.
Compare the results when Claude has specific context versus a general question. Notice how context makes responses more relevant and accurate.
