Anthropic launches The Claude Academy with 355 resources

Welcome back, Superhuman. It just got way easier to master Anthropic’s tools. The AI lab rolled out a treasure trove of learning materials, complete with 355 free resources that range from beginner to expert. Plus, you can now send iMessages from ChatGPT Work.

Today: ChatGPT falls out of love with Reddit, how to do a digital declutter with Grok bot, and get the latest prompts and trending social posts.

1. Anthropic pools all of its resources into one learning hub: The Claude Academy brings together 355 tutorials, prompting tips, and use case examples to help you master Claude, Cowork, Code, Tag, and the API. The AI lab also rolled out Concise Mode for Claude Code, which limits the tool to short responses. Anthropic is reportedly planning to file IPO paperwork as early as this month.

2. OpenAI lets you send iMessages from ChatGPT Work and Codex: A new Apple Messages plugin syncs your messages to OpenAI’s enterprise tools, letting you search through threads, get updates, and send replies without leaving ChatGPT’s desktop app. Setup instructions and sample prompts are here. Meanwhile, OpenAI CFO Sarah Friar reportedly told employees the lab won’t go public until 2027.

3. Reddit citations have dropped sharply in ChatGPT responses: Reddit’s share of ChatGPT citations has fallen 86% since mid-July, from nearly 4% to roughly 0.5% on August 14th, per Promptwatch. OpenAI has not explained the shift, but it’s an abrupt turnaround: Reddit has historically been one of the most-cited sources for AI chatbots. Explore more AI search data here.
