Course overview

This is where AI stops being a novelty and starts being useful every day. You will configure an assistant that knows your context, your preferences, and your recurring responsibilities — then put it to work on planning, writing, research, and decision support. The final project is your own personalized assistant.

Who this is for

  • People who use AI occasionally and want it to become a habit
  • Anyone juggling work, home, and personal projects
  • Graduates of Prompting for Real Life

What you’ll learn

  • Designing an assistant for a specific set of responsibilities
  • Planning, writing, and research workflows
  • Using AI for decision support without outsourcing the decision
  • Weekly and daily rhythms that keep it useful
  • Knowing when not to use your assistant
