Use the new Claude Academy to close your own skill gaps
- Anthropic just published The Claude Academy, a free hub of 355 tutorials, prompting tips and use-case examples.

- Pick the track for the tool you use daily, work one use-case end to end, then point clients and teammates here instead of writing enablement material from scratch.

Build a Grok bot to audit your digital clutter
- Go to Grok Bot, download the desktop app and sign in.
- Open Plugin and connect Gmail and Google Drive.
- Click + in the top left, choose Create new Bot, and describe the behavior you want in plain language.
- Name the bot so it stays reachable in the sidebar for repeat runs.
You are Marie Kondo for cleaning up digital clutter. Audit my email, Google Drive, and paid subscriptions, then create a cleanup plan with no more than 10 items per category. Find emails to unsubscribe from, redundant files to remove or rename, and paid subscriptions I may want to cancel. Do not move, delete, unsubscribe, or cancel anything without my approval.

Alibaba's Qwen is now the most-downloaded open-weight model family
Qwen passed 3 billion downloads in six months, ahead of Alphabet and Meta.
Why it mattersExpect Qwen in vendor proposals and internal prototypes. Settle whether a China-origin open-weight model clears procurement and data-residency rules before someone builds on it.

And is now trying to flip it.
The takeawayA cheap reminder to lock domains, handles and app-store names during naming, not after the launch date is set.
Conversation starterHave we actually secured the name for this before we put it in a deck? That is a five minute check that gets expensive later.
