Practical AI and Prompting for Everyday Productivity

Artificial intelligence tools are most powerful when you know how to give precise, well-structured instructions. This text-based course guides you through the principles of modern generative AI and prompt design, showing you how to apply these concepts to everyday personal and professional tasks. You will build a practical understanding of how large language models interpret context, constraints, and instructions, enabling you to draft communications, brainstorm solutions, analyze written information, and automate repetitive writing tasks with confidence. What you'll learn: - Understand core AI concepts, terminology, and how language models process instructions - Master foundational prompt structures including role definition, context setting, and output formatting - Apply multi-step prompting techniques to solve complex daily and business tasks - Practice iterative refinement and few-shot examples to achieve consistent responses - Implement basic verification strategies to check for factual accuracy and reduce hallucination - Create tailored prompts for everyday documentation, summarization, research, and planning The course begins with foundational vocabulary and the mechanics of prompt design before advancing through practical scenarios and written exercises covering realistic daily use cases. This course is designed for beginners and professionals who want to make practical use of AI tools without any technical background or prior coding experience.
