How-To Guide: Your Personal Specialty AI Assistant
Step 1: Create a Claude account
Go to claude.ai in your browser. Click "Sign up" and create a free account with your email. Verify your email when prompted.
What you should see: Claude's main chat interface — a text input box at the bottom of the screen, with "New conversation" button in the sidebar. Troubleshooting: If the site doesn't load, try a different browser (Chrome or Firefox work best).
