From source material to a result you can use.

Work with specific files and situations. Each task takes you through doing the work and checking what AI produced.

01

Prepare a report or analysis

Organise data, compare exports and explain the results. Learn to check the numbers before sharing them.

02

Write a useful document

Turn notes into a campaign brief, proposal or follow-up email. Adapt the structure to the reader and identify missing information.

03

Build your own way of working with AI

Choose tasks, tools and rules for handling data. Record the time and corrections needed to see where AI helps.

A follow-up email: what was agreed and what still needs confirmation?

An abbreviated example based on a training task. Generating the text is one step in the process.

01

Source material

An excerpt from sample meeting notes:

“We could consider starting on 15 October, but we still need to confirm that date internally.”
02

Instruction for AI

Draft a follow-up email. Separate agreements from open questions. For dates and amounts, identify the relevant source excerpt.

03

Check the result

The 15 October date belongs under items awaiting confirmation. Compare every date, amount and commitment with the notes before sending.

Expand the sample instruction for AI
Context: I send a summary to the client after a sales meeting.

Task: Draft the email from the notes. Separate confirmed agreements from proposals and open questions.

Format: A short introduction, agreements, open questions and next steps. Explicitly flag dates that have not been confirmed.

Verification: Show the source excerpt for every date and amount. Do not add commitments absent from the notes.

Notes: [paste material you are permitted to use under your company’s rules]

Start with the foundations. Then choose tasks from your own work.

The Start module guides you through the complete process. Use the following sections according to the task you need to complete.

00 · Start: your first task with AI

7 lessons on choosing a task, preparing data, writing an instruction and checking the result. Then set up time tracking for three recurring tasks.

01 · Choose a tool for the task

Read a model map and identify the capabilities you need for documents, data and other types of work.

02 · Plans, costs and tool limits

Check providers’ prices and limits. Decide which paid features are useful for your own tasks.

03 · A library of 32 practical tasks

Weekly reports, campaign briefs, proposals, meeting notes, schedules and more. Source files, instructions, exercises and checks for each result.

04 · Your own instruction library

Save reusable instructions. Learn the basics of downloading files and following changes on GitHub.

05 · Data and workplace rules

Prepare to discuss data, permissions and the scope of AI use with an employer or client.

06 · Choose the changes that matter

Evaluate updates to AI tools through their impact on your tasks and decisions.

07 · Measure and communicate results

Use your task log to prepare a summary for your manager or a description of your experience for your CV.

08 · Connect AI with applications

An optional introduction to connectors and MCP. Assess the need for an integration, permissions and its effect on task time.

One complete process, then more applications.

  1. Complete the Start module

    Practise choosing a task, preparing data, writing instructions and checking the response. Work at your own pace.

  2. Choose a task for your role

Before choosing the training

Who is this training for?

People who work with documents, information, data and communication: specialists, consultants and managers. Tasks cover analytics, HR, marketing, sales and project management.

Do I need AI experience or programming skills?

You can begin with the Start module. The core programme uses files, text and instructions in ordinary language. Programming is not a prerequisite.

Requirements are listed with the tasks. Some work with free plans; others may require a paid feature or a business account. AI tool subscriptions are separate from the training.

Can I practise without sharing my company’s data?

Yes. Begin with the practice files. The Start module helps you assess which of your own materials you can use under workplace rules and data permissions.
