What you'll learn

  1. Understand strengths and limits

    Compare accurate answers with convincing but wrong ones, and spot which tasks need checking.

  2. Write clear prompts

    Describe the task, audience, context, limits and format, and improve a vague instruction.

  3. Improve through iteration

    Check an output against what you asked for and revise your request on purpose.

  4. Verify and protect information

    Check claims against sources and leave out sensitive details you do not need to share.

  5. Complete a workflow

    Take a small brief from start to finish, with checkpoints, to a result you can use.

  6. Final project

    Use AI to finish one real task from your work or life, check every claim, and explain what you changed.

Questions

All questions
Is the same course the same for everyone?

The modules and what you are checked against are the same, so everyone learns the same skills. How each lesson is explained, and the examples it uses, change for you.

Do I need any experience?

No. Every course starts from the basics. If you already know some of it, an optional two-minute check lets you skip ahead.

How much does it cost?

While courses are in preview and their content is being reviewed, you can start them for free. Prices will be shown on each course page before any course goes on sale.

What if I don't understand a lesson?

Choose "Try it another way" under any idea to get it simpler, with more detail, with another example, as a picture or as a story. You can also ask your learning companion a question.
