How the course is designed

Each module pairs visual cues with written steps, then gives you a worked example, a task to try, and a quick check with feedback. Repeat the task after a few days using a fresh example to see what you remember.

The core habits carry over to other AI tools: define the task, give useful context, verify the result, and test it before relying on it. The screen instructions in this edition are for ChatGPT and Codex.

SMALL BUSINESS PILOT

Start with one team and one task.

1. Pick a task

Choose something your team does every week. Start with fictional or approved sample material.

2. Practice together

Work through modules 1–5 and have a teammate review one draft against its sources.

3. Check the outcome

Repeat the task a week later. Compare time, corrections, and how much help people need.
