Your AI Toolkit: Hands-On with ChatGPT, Claude, and Beyond

A practical, guided session where participants actually use the major AI tools, learn effective prompting techniques, and discover which tools fit different tasks.

About This Course

There are dozens of AI tools available right now, and new ones launch every week. Which ones are worth your time? Which ones are best for what tasks? And how do you get the most out of them?

This course is your guided tour through the AI tool landscape. Across three sessions, you will get hands-on experience with the major AI platforms — ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, and more — and learn which tools excel at which tasks.

More importantly, you will master the skill that matters most: prompting. The difference between a mediocre AI response and an exceptional one is almost always the quality of your prompt. You will practice advanced prompting techniques through live exercises and leave with a personal toolkit customized to your needs.
