Who this is for
Anyone who feels behind, overwhelmed, or skeptical about AI and wants to actually use it — not just read headlines about it. No technical background required. If you can send an email, you can do this.
The promise
Spend 10–20 minutes a day for 30 days. By the end, you’ll use AI naturally and confidently for real tasks in your work and life — and you’ll know its limits well enough to trust your own judgment about when (and when not) to use it.
What you need
- A free account with any major general-purpose AI assistant. Any of the leading ones work for this course; pick one and stick with it for 30 days so you build real fluency instead of tool-hopping.
- A notes app or notebook to keep a running “playbook” (you’ll build this over the month).
- 10–20 minutes a day. Consistency beats intensity.
How the course works
30 daily lessons, grouped into four weekly themes plus a capstone. You don’t have to do exactly one per calendar day — but do them in order, because each builds on the last.
Throughout the course, anything shown in a copyable prompt block is a prompt you can drop straight into your AI assistant — just hit Copy. Change the bracketed [parts] to fit your situation.
Every lesson follows the same six parts
The structure repeats so you always know what to do:
- Today in one line — what you’ll walk away able to do.
- Why it matters — the point, in plain language.
- Learn — the core idea (kept short on purpose).
- Do this — a hands-on exercise with prompts you can copy and paste.
- Watch out for — the mistake beginners usually make here.
- Today’s win — proof you leveled up. Add it to your playbook.
Across the month you’ll build one personal reference — your “playbook.” Each lesson adds a piece (a formula, a rule, a template). By Day 28 you assemble it into your own AI manual. Keep the Playbook template open as you go.
