FAQs

 Do I need a paid AI tool to take this course?

No. All examples use free tools so anyone can follow along. The workflows and prompting techniques are tool-agnostic — they’ll work in ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, or any future platform your company approves.

Is this course tied to any specific AI product?

No. This is not product training and does not require or promote any specific tool. The focus is on principles, prompting methods, and safety practices that work across all major AI platforms.

How fast will I see results?

Most people see improvements immediately.
Start by applying AI to one task from your Productivity Audit (Lesson 8).
Write a prompt → iterate → save the version that works.
These reusable prompts help you save time every week.

How long does the course take to complete?

The entire course runs 45–60 minutes, split into nine short, practical lessons you can watch anytime.

Who is the instructor, and where can I learn more about his work?
