About this course

You have heard people talk about ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude, maybe even opened one once, but you are not sure what to type or whether you can trust the answers. This free course is built for exactly that moment. In about an hour you will set up a free AI assistant safely and use it for real tasks from your own life.

It is made for students, working professionals, homemakers and career returners, and small business owners across India. No technical background is needed. If you can send a WhatsApp message, you can do this course.

The course has six short lessons, each 8-12 minutes, with a small hands-on exercise in every one. You will write your first useful prompts, learn a simple four-part formula that makes answers far better, and understand what you should never paste into an AI tool.

You finish with a 7-day habit plan so AI becomes part of your routine, and a free certificate of completion once you mark every lesson complete.
