Intro to AI Prompts
Master the one skill that unlocks every AI tool: prompting. This hands-on, tool-agnostic course teaches non-technical professionals how to write clear, specific instructions that get dramatically better results from any chat AI — and walk away with a reusable personal prompt library you keep using in daily work. You'll learn the anatomy of a strong prompt, then apply it to everyday work tasks, data and presentations, and using AI as an expert partner. Every module pairs a short lesson with a knowledge check, finishing with a capstone that packages your own prompt library. No technical background required.
