AI at work — the foundations

Five short lessons. ~50 minutes total. Built so a working professional finishes knowing what's safe, what's risky, and how to use AI at work without quietly wrecking their reputation.

AI showed up at work without much instruction manual. You're meant to use it, but nobody's said exactly how — or what to avoid. This course is the version your manager wishes you'd already had: five short lessons that cover what AI is genuinely useful for, what to never paste into it, when it's listening in your meetings, and when to say it helped. Stop any time. Pick up later.

What you'll come away with

Tell when an AI is taking notes in your meeting, and when to switch it off
Have a clear, honest answer if someone asks 'did AI help with this?'
Hold an honest two-minute career conversation about AI with your manager
