Week 1: Basics
Learn what AI is good at, where it fails, and how to write a clear first prompt.
AI Learning Playbook
A 30-day practical AI training plan for regular humans.
Use AI a little every day, learn by doing, and build a personal library of safe prompts and repeatable workflows. No PhD. No hype fog. Just one useful mission at a time.
How to use this
Twenty minutes a day is enough to start bending the productivity universe.
Each week has a theme. Each day has a tiny mission. The goal is not to become an AI expert overnight; the goal is to become confident, careful, and useful with AI.

Use this when you are not sure how to practice. The prompt asks the AI to coach you without pretending the answer is automatically correct.
Act as a patient AI coach. I want to practice using AI for this task: [describe task].
Create a simple exercise using safe, non-sensitive information. Include: the goal, a starter prompt, what a good answer should include, common mistakes, and a verification checklist. Ask questions before assuming missing facts.
