Why this topic matters

Claude is a huge force multiplier so we are keen to share how it can be deployed and used with existing workbooks through skills. This is not only an enhancement to the workbooks but also an enhancement in how you start to explore and learn from what we have built in leveraging Claude skills. Those skills have been designed specifically for the EXL Cloud workbooks.
