If you've been meaning to try Claude but haven't known where to start, or you signed up, poked around, and quietly closed the tab, this is the guide that was missing. Volume 01 of the hello, robot. library is the foundation field guide for Claude AI: what it is, how to set it up in three minutes, how the interface actually works, and how to have a first conversation that gets you something useful instead of something generic. It covers every plan from Free to Max so you know exactly what you're getting before you spend a dollar.

The most common reason people give up on Claude isn't that it doesn't work. It's that nobody told them how to talk to it. This guide fixes that. You'll learn how Claude is different from ChatGPT, which five mistakes new users make (and how to skip all of them), and the one two-minute setup move that changes everything about how Claude responds to you. Whether you're searching "how to use Claude AI for beginners" or switching over from another tool and want to get up to speed fast, this is your starting point. Beginner-friendly, plain English, quarterly updates included.
