Education and learning — particularly homework assistance — have emerged as the leading use cases for Anthropic’s Claude in India, pointing to growing adoption of the AI chatbot by younger users.According to a new Anthropic Economic Index report, Cadences, 19.3 per cent of Claude.ai conversations in India relate to education and learning, with homework-related interactions alone accounting for 7.9 per cent.Content creation and copywriting are another major area of use, with Indians increasingly turning to Claude for tasks such as preparing resumes, drafting social media posts and creating marketing content. The report also found that Indians use Claude disproportionately more than the global average for math and computer science theory (2x the global average), AI application development (1.8x), document transformation (1.6x) and web front-end development (1.5x).for chatgpt codingThe use of AI for education and coursework is not limited to Claude. An OpenAI report released in February 2026 showed that users aged 18-24 accounted for nearly half of ChatGPT usage in India, compared with a global average of 33 per cent for the age group. Coding and education emerged as the top use cases for ChatGPT in the country.Anthropic’s report also points to a broader shift from simple chatbot interactions to more autonomous, agentic tasks that increasingly mirror users’ daily routines. For instance, news-related queries peak around 6 am, requests for drafting business emails surge mid-morning, while recipe-related prompts rise to 2.3 times their average at around 6 pm. On weekends, the share of personal prompts climbs from 35 per cent to nearly 50 per cent, with users increasingly seeking emotional support, medical information and investment advice.The report also highlights notable gender differences in AI usage. Women are slightly less likely than men to use Claude for work-related tasks and tend to interact with the chatbot in a more conversational manner. Interestingly, while more than 35 per cent of workers expect AI to handle most of their tasks within the next year, users who delegate the largest share of their work to Claude report the highest levels of career optimism.value linkAnother key finding is the “value-compute link”, which shows a strong correlation between higher-paying occupations and heavier AI usage, suggesting that AI is increasingly augmenting high-value jobs.The report is based on a privacy-preserving survey of 9,700 randomly selected Claude users across multiple countries.Published on June 29, 2026
