Ten lessons. No code until lesson ten, and even then it writes it.
From how these models actually work to publishing your own site, in order. Each lesson is a short read and a few questions. Your progress is saved in this browser. Stop whenever you like and take a certificate for what you've done.
How it actually works
No maths, no history of the field. Just the four things about these models that explain almost everything you'll see them do, including the annoying parts.
Open → Lesson 212 minText assistants: pick one, use it well
Which assistant to use (the answer is shorter than you think), whether to pay, and the shape of a request that gets a usable reply the first time.
Open → Lesson 310 minHow to check what it tells you
The lesson that makes everything else safe. Which parts of an answer to verify, which to skim, and five questions that make the assistant show you where it's unsure.
Open → Lesson 410 minImages and video
What image generation is genuinely good for at work, how to ask for a picture the way you'd brief a designer, where video stands today, and the two questions to ask before you use any of it in public.
Open → Lesson 511 minSpecialised tools: when you need more than a chat
Lawyers, analysts, salespeople, writers, developers: each has tools built for the job. Three questions tell you whether you need one, and a map of the kinds that exist.
Open → Lesson 611 minWorkflows: from one task to a system
The difference between people who use AI and people who get hours back is not better prompts. It's that the second group turned three recurring tasks into fixed sequences. Here's how.
Open → Lesson 710 minSkills: teach it your rules once
You've been re-explaining your format, your tone and your rules in every chat. A skill is where you write them once, so the assistant applies them itself. What goes in one, what doesn't, and how each assistant calls it.
Open → Lesson 811 minMCP: connect it to your own data
Until now you've pasted everything in. Connectors let the assistant read your calendar, email, files and company systems directly. What MCP is in plain terms, what it changes, and the three permissions to think about before you switch one on.
Open → Lesson 911 minAgents: when it works on its own
An agent is an assistant that runs a multi-step task without you prompting each step. What that looks like, which tasks it suits, how to give one a job it won't mess up, and why the boring word 'budget' matters more than the exciting word 'autonomous'.
Open → Lesson 1015 minBuild a simple site and publish it for free
The last lesson is a thing you'll have at the end: a one-page website, written by your assistant, published on GitHub Pages at a real address, for nothing. No code knowledge needed. Fifteen minutes, mostly waiting.
Open →Certificate
Available after any lesson. It lists exactly which lessons you finished, nothing more, so it's worth showing.
