Welcome to my course, which serves as an introduction to AI prompting. Throughout this course, you will upgrade your prompting skills so you spend less time struggling with unhelpful outputs of AI tools.

You can expect to learn:

• A little about how AI functions and how that informs the way we speak to it
• How to assess if an AI tool is going to be effective in helping you with a task
• Advanced frameworks like iterative and mega prompting to support AI taking on difficult and nuanced tasks

In each section of the course, you will find:

• A video with explanations and examples of how to productively prompt a chatbot
• PDF printouts of the conversations featured in the videos
• Activities with example prompts and challenges for you to try out and practice your skills

You can use whatever AI chatbot you want to complete this course. We recommend:

• ChatGPT is simple and easy to access. Even without logging in, you can access their latest model with almost all of the features
• Claude is a powerful model that requires a login. With the free account, you can use an older model that is quick and reliable
• Perplexity is an AI company that values showing where its information comes from; use it if you want to ensure that everything you read is well-referenced

Over everything else, enjoy playing with this tool. Feel free to embrace your creative or wacky side when prompting the AI. Ingenuity can lead to awesome results with the tools.
