Me, Myself and AI
AI Capabilities Upleveling
The last general AI course you’ll need.
Why this course
AI changes too quickly for learners to keep taking another introductory course every time a platform adds a feature. The lasting capability is not memorizing prompts or mastering one tool. It is knowing how to investigate what changed, test what is useful, judge the result, and teach yourself what comes next.
Me, Myself and AI is designed to be the last general AI course you need. It builds the judgment, adaptability, and practical experience required to use today’s tools, learn unfamiliar capabilities, and continue advancing without waiting for another class.
Every session adds a practical resource to a personal AI toolkit you can keep using and expanding independently.
What this course unlocks
You move from experimenting with AI to using it with purpose — framing a task, providing useful context, investigating unfamiliar subjects, comparing options, making plans, communicating clearly, creating presentations and visuals, protecting sensitive information, and saving successful work for reuse.
Course at a glance
What you will be able to do
- Identify where AI genuinely helps your work, and where it is unnecessary or inappropriate.
- Direct AI with objectives, context, constraints, examples, and output formats — and know why each one changes the result.
- Turn a successful prompt into reusable instructions that work beyond a single conversation.
- Research an unfamiliar question, then verify claims, inspect sources, and correct unreliable output.
- Compare real options against your own priorities and constraints, and document the decision.
- Convert a decision into an executable plan with timelines, budgets, dependencies, and alternatives.
- Set up a scheduled or monitoring task, with a manual fallback when the platform cannot automate it.
- Draft recurring communications while preserving your voice, privacy, and accountability.
- Build a presentation narrative, then a finished deck, then the visuals it needs.
- Recognise anthropomorphism, flattery, automation bias, and overconfidence before they cost you something.
- Classify information by sensitivity so confidential material never reaches a public system.
- Teach yourself the next capability without waiting for another course.
Visible progress: the personal AI toolkit
You start with a practical baseline, add one useful output during every meeting, and finish by completing a comparable task independently. Each toolkit entry records:
- What I needed
- What I tried
- What I created
- How I checked it
- What I saved for reuse
- What I can now do independently
Progress is described across four levels:
Attempting
Trying the capability with support and getting a partial result.
Guided
Producing a usable result while following the shared example.
Independent
Completing the task alone, with your own judgment applied.
Adaptable
Reusing the method in a situation the course never covered.
The toolkit makes growth visible across task framing, AI direction, verification and judgment, quality of the finished result, and the ability to reuse the method in a new situation.
Two-morning syllabus
The workshop is being rewritten as two focused four-hour mornings. The full morning-by-morning outline lands here soon. In the meantime, see Course at a glance, what you will be able to do, and a realistic four-hour morning above.
A realistic four-hour morning
How students learn
See it
Concise explanations, visual examples, and live demonstrations make unfamiliar ideas tangible.
Try it together
Guided practice lets you test the skill before working independently.
Make it useful
Every session applies the capability to a real work, business, community, creative, or everyday-life situation.
Review the result
Check output against evidence, context, privacy, accessibility, professional judgment, and the needs of the person who will use it.
Keep what works
Every meeting produces a reusable artifact instead of another page of notes destined to become digital compost.
Evidence of learning
This is a not-for-credit workshop. There are no exams and no grades. Learning is demonstrated through the completed personal AI toolkit:
- Useful outputs completed during the workshop.
- Before-and-after evidence against your opening baseline.
- An independent task completed without guidance on Morning 2.
- Reusable instructions and templates you keep.
- A 30-day application plan.
What you need
Digital workshop packet included. No textbook is required. Instructor-created worksheets, templates, and example instructions are provided digitally.
You may use a free or paid conversational AI account — ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, or a comparable system. A paid account is preferred for image creation, file handling, scheduled tasks, and other advanced features. Platform-neutral alternatives and manual fallbacks are provided where possible.
Bring a Wi-Fi-enabled laptop. Both mornings run live online over Zoom.
Neuro-accessible, and responsible throughout
Neuro-accessible by design
Supports different levels of attention, confidence, processing speed, literacy, and technical experience through chunking, visual explanation, repetition with variation, learner choice, low-friction practice, templates, processing resets, and clear examples.
No disclosure required
You are never required to disclose a diagnosis or personal condition to benefit from how this course is built.
Understand before producing
Verification, privacy, confidentiality, consent, copyright, attribution, bias, security, accessibility, and human review are integrated where relevant.
Augment, don’t substitute
Responsibility stays with the person making the decision. Legal questions are referred to qualified professionals.
