Who it's for

  • Complete beginners who have never used an AI tool, or tried one once and weren't sure what to do next.
  • Anyone who'd rather learn by watching and asking than by reading.
  • Parents, grandparents and family members who want to understand what everyone is talking about.
  • Busy professionals and small business owners who want a quick, practical start.

It's not a technical or coding class. If you already use AI tools every day, the guides may suit you better.

What you'll learn

  1. What AI is, and isn't, in plain English: what tools like ChatGPT are good at, and where they get things wrong (Guide 01).
  2. Choosing a tool and getting set up, including the privacy settings worth checking first (Guide 04).
  3. How to ask well: a simple checklist that turns vague answers into useful ones (Guide 05).
  4. Everyday uses, live: writing an email, planning a week, summarizing a long document (Guide 06).
  5. Staying safe: protecting your privacy, checking facts and spotting AI-powered scams (Guide 07).
  6. Where to go next: a simple plan to keep practicing (Guide 11).

The format

The class runs live on Zoom for one hour. You'll watch real examples step by step, try things yourself if you like, and finish with open Q&A where you can ask about your own situation. It's beginner-paced and jargon-free, and no question is too basic.
