Module 13 lessons

Start With Confidence

Remove the fear, understand the tool honestly, and have your first genuinely useful conversation.

  1. 1

    You are not too late

    Most people who feel "behind" with AI are actually in the best possible position: you have real work, real customers and real problems, and

  2. 2

    What ChatGPT can and cannot do

    ChatGPT is very good at language work: drafting, rewriting, summarising, explaining, translating, organising messy notes, brainstorming opti

  3. 3

    Your first useful conversation

    A useful conversation has three parts: you say what you want, you give the details only you know, and you react to what comes back.

Module 25 lessons

The CLEAR Method

The five-step way of working that turns AI from a search box into a working partner.

  1. 1

    C - Clarify the outcome

    Start from the finished thing, not from the topic.

  2. 2

    L - Load the context

    AI knows language. It does not know you.

  3. 3

    E - Explain or show what you see

    Describing a screen you do not understand is exhausting.

  4. 4

    A - Ask AI to take action

    Beginners ask questions.

  5. 5

    R - Review, redirect, and remain the final decision-maker

    The first draft is a conversation starter.

Module 33 lessons

Work With Screenshots and Files

Show AI what you are looking at, and turn documents into finished work.

  1. 1

    Ask for one-click-at-a-time guidance

    Software overwhelm is usually a pacing problem, not an intelligence problem.

  2. 2

    Use screenshots safely

    Screenshots are the fastest way to be understood - and the easiest way to overshare.

  3. 3

    Turn a file into finished work

    A document, list or export is raw material.

Module 43 lessons

Review, Correct, and Verify

Stay in charge. Catch mistakes, correct precisely, and know when to double-check.

  1. 1

    How to spot invented information

    Invented information usually sounds excellent.

  2. 2

    How to give precise corrections

    A vague complaint gets a random rewrite.

  3. 3

    Low-, medium-, and high-risk approval rules

    Not everything needs the same level of checking, and treating everything as high risk is why people give up.

Module 54 lessons

AI for Small Business

Marketing, customer service, operations and decisions - applied to your real business.

  1. 1

    Marketing and content

    Marketing is where AI helps fastest, because it is pure language work with low risk.

  2. 2

    Customer service

    Customer messages are repetitive, emotional and time-consuming - a perfect fit.

  3. 3

    Operations and checklists

    The knowledge that lives only in your head is a business risk and a source of exhaustion.

  4. 4

    Decisions and analysis

    For decisions, AI is a thinking partner, not an oracle.

Module 64 lessons

Final Project

Choose one real task, do it with the CLEAR Method, and reflect on what changed.

  1. 1

    Choose one real business task

    Your final project is not an exercise.

  2. 2

    Complete it with the CLEAR Method

    Now run all five steps deliberately, in order, and notice which one you naturally skip.

  3. 3

    Review and verify

    Before this counts as finished, check it properly.

  4. 4

    Submit a private reflection

    The last step is reflection, and it is private - only you and your instructor can see it.

Module 74 lessons

How ChatGPT Works With Other Tools

Understand what ChatGPT can do on its own, what your other apps do, and where the handoff happens — including permissions, approvals and client privacy.

  1. 1

    ChatGPT Versus the Other App: What Each One Does

    ChatGPT is the thinker and the writer.

  2. 2

    Connected Apps, Plugins, Integrations and Good Old Copy-Paste

    There are two ways to get ChatGPT and another app to work together.

  3. 3

    When ChatGPT Can Take Action and When It Can Only Guide You

    Sometimes ChatGPT can genuinely act — search the web, read a file you upload, run a connected tool.

  4. 4

    Permissions, Approvals, Privacy and Protecting Client Information

    Your clients trust you with their names, numbers and problems.

Module 85 lessons

Websites and Apps

Plan, build and improve a website or app with Lovable: describe features clearly, read screenshots, fix problems and review before you publish.

  1. 1

    Use ChatGPT With Lovable to Build and Improve a Website

    Lovable builds a real website from plain-language descriptions.

  2. 2

    Describe a Feature Clearly

    A feature request is clearest when it says who does what, where, and what happens next.

  3. 3

    Review Screenshots, Identify Problems, Request Corrections

    You do not need technical language to report a problem.

  4. 4

    Test Buttons, Forms, Logins, Mobile Layouts and Links

    Testing is not technical.

  5. 5

    Review Before Publishing

    Publishing is the moment your work stops being private.
