TL;DR
What did @starburstLuu use Claude for?
Someone who had been tinkering with Adobe Illustrator for two years used Claude as a teacher they could keep asking questions, and says they learned more in that one day than in the previous two years.
What they did
They worked on an Illustrator project (a map of state shapes) with Claude open as a teacher, asking it question after question as they went.
How it went
They say it was like having their own teacher they could keep pestering with questions, and they learned more in that one day than in the two years they'd been tinkering on their own.
Worth knowing
- Claude can't see your screen unless you share a screenshot, and menu names change between versions, so tell it your version and paste screenshots when you're stuck.
- Price check: Claude: free plan; Pro: US$20/month, or US$17/month on a yearly plan (US$200/year) (checked Nov 1, 2026).
