Applied AI with OpenAI ChatGPT
A practical, hands-on course for getting real work done with OpenAI’s ChatGPT. You’ll start with the AI fundamentals everyone needs — how these assistants actually work, how to prompt them well, what drives their cost, and how to use them safely — then build ChatGPT-specific skills and real workplace use-cases: drafting and rewriting, summarizing, working with documents and data, and more. Every module pairs a short lesson with a knowledge check, and a capstone puts it all to work on your own tasks. No technical background required.
