100 short challenges to turn you from someone who asks AI for answers into someone who builds with it.
A method-first course through prompting. Foundations, constraints, few-shot, personas, reasoning, structured outputs, chains, retrieval, guardrails, agents. Every challenge has a demo, a try-it, references, and a ready-to-use prompt.

I'm considering taking an "AI Prompting" course that teaches people to go from asking AI for answers to designing prompt-driven workflows. It covers: instruction clarity, constraints, few-shot, personas, chain-of-thought reasoning, structured outputs (JSON), multi-step chains, retrieval basics, guardrails, and light agents.
Here's the context you need:
1. My day-to-day work involves: [describe your job / the kinds of tasks you repeat weekly]
2. My current AI usage looks like: [e.g. "I paste things into ChatGPT once a week" OR "I already script with APIs"]
3. The result I want from learning this is: [e.g. "stop re-writing the same emails", "automate a research routine", "build internal tools at work"]
Given that, answer these specifically:
- Name 3 concrete things in my work that would get meaningfully faster or better if I got good at prompting. Be specific about the task, not generic ("faster writing" is not specific).
- Name 1 thing this course will NOT help me with, so I don't have wrong expectations.
- On a scale of 1–10, how high-leverage is this course for someone in my situation, and why?
- If I only had 2 hours this week, which single skill from the syllabus above would give me the biggest payoff, and how would I know it worked?We grant free access case-by-case — students, career-switchers, builders on a tight budget. Sign in to send us a note.

Pick one multi-step task in your actual work and automate it end-to-end with prompts. It can be a research brief, a report summary, a content pipeline — anything you do repeatedly. Use a chain if needed.
