ANTHROPIC BUILDS FOR TEACHERS
Anthropic gives K-12 teachers a year of premium Claude, at no cost.
Here's the 5-step setup for non-technical users:
Go to claude.ai/code/routines and click "New routine."
Name it (e.g., "Morning email triage").
Write the prompt like an SOP. Routines run hands-off, so be more precise than a normal Claude chat. Example: "Pull my Gmail unreads. For each one, check for prior conversations with that contact. Draft a reply. Send me the drafts in Slack."
Pick a trigger: schedule (daily at 5 AM), webhook (a URL that other apps can "ping" to fire the routine automatically; e.g., a new Gmail arrives → routine runs), or API call (an API is how programs talk to each other; "call" means any script or tool you run can kick off the routine on demand from anywhere).
Hit "Run now" to test.
