Curriculum

Six modules, thirty lessons, one working set of AI habits.

You get usable output on the first or second try, consistently.

  1. 01

    The four-part ask

    Following up instead of restarting

    15 min

    How to steer a mediocre answer to a great one with three types of follow-up.

  4. 04

    Making it sound like you

    15 min

    Feed it your own writing, build a reusable tone instruction, stop sounding like a robot.

  5. 05

    Your personal prompt library

    15 min

    Save the handful of asks you'll reuse weekly. Template pack included.

3 · Everyday wins

You've replaced real chores with 2-minute versions of themselves.

    15 min

    Brain-dump in, structured checklist or itinerary out.

  3. 03

    Reading less, understanding more

    15 min

    Summarising documents, contracts and reports — and what to never trust a summary for.

    Meetings, notes and actions

    15 min

    Recording, transcribing and extracting who-does-what without typing.

    Describe what you want in words and let AI write the formula or clean the data.

  6. 06

    Learning anything faster

    15 min

    Using AI as a patient tutor: explain-like-I'm-new, quiz me, correct me.

You can produce decent visuals and audio without design skills.

  1. 01

    Making an image you'd actually use

    15 min

    How image tools read your words, and the four details that make output look intentional.

    Where skew comes from, where it shows up in your own output, and how to counter it.
