Course overview
Start here if AI feels exciting, confusing, or both. This plain-language course replaces guesswork with a practical mental model and a repeatable way to get useful results.
What you will be able to do
- Explain the difference between an AI model, assistant, and tool.
- Choose sensible tasks for AI—and recognize tasks that still need human expertise.
- Write a clear prompt using goal, context, constraints, and output format.
- Check an answer for accuracy, bias, privacy, and missing context.
- Turn one real task into a reusable AI workflow.
Your course project
Create a personal “AI starter kit”: a task map, three reusable prompts, and a quality-check checklist for work or everyday life.
Designed for
Complete beginners, cautious explorers, and anyone who has tried an AI chatbot but never felt sure they were using it well. No coding and no paid AI subscription are required.
