Navigate through the weeks using the expandable sections below. I will update the content weekly as we progress through the course.

AI Tool Use Overview

Never used an AI chatbot? Start here.

  1. 1
    No paid subscriptions needed for this class. Don't pay for any AI subscriptions until you feel like you need to. This class is structured so that we can explore with free tools.
  2. 2
    Chat naturally. AI chatbots are designed to be conversational. Just type your questions or thoughts as you would in a normal conversation.
  3. 3
    Creating an account is helpful. You can use these tools without signing up, but creating an account allows you to view previous conversations and customize your experience.
  4. 4
    It's okay to experiment. Try asking questions in different ways. The AI learns from context, so providing details helps you get better responses.
  5. 5
    AI isn't always perfect. Chatbots can make mistakes or provide incomplete information. Always use your judgment and verify important facts.

Ready to chat with AI? Here are some that I recommend.

Generally these three AI chatbots perform very similarly. One is not necessarily "better" than the others.

Note:This learning hub was built by Connor without writing any code. He built this website just by telling Claude Code what he wanted to build.
