See what AI can do
Nine ways to use AI: save on shopping, use up food, track calories, plan exercise, learn a language, organise notes, plan harmless pranks, manage social media, and write and summarise
Nine everyday ways to get started. No AI account or download needed to explore these examples.
Read the nine ideas
  • Save on shopping. Share a receipt and look for ways to spend less on your next shop.
  • Use up what you have. List what’s in your fridge and cupboards and get meal ideas before you buy more food.
  • Track calories. Keep a simple food log and use calorie estimates to support a weight goal.
  • Plan exercise. Sketch a weekly routine that fits your time and starting point.
  • Learn a language. Practise a short conversation, such as ordering a coffee.
  • Organise messy notes. Scan handwritten notes and turn them into a clear list of actions.
  • Plan a harmless prank. Brainstorm a lighthearted surprise everyone can laugh about.
  • Manage social media. Plan a week of posts and draft captions in your own voice.
  • Write and summarise. Draft reports and emails or pull the key points out of a long document.

What could AI take off your plate?

You don’t need to learn every tool. Start with something you already do and learn how to make it easier.

In your life

Turn scattered notes into a weekly plan, organise errands or get a first draft of a message you’ve been putting off.

In your career

Summarise notes, prepare for a meeting or practise an interview answer using your real experience.

In your business

Describe what you do, plan content and see how simple websites, assistants, apps and dashboards can be prototyped.

The programme

12 modules across 6 live workshops

Every workshop pairs a demonstration with time to try it yourself. From the first session, you’ll learn what not to paste into AI and how to check the answers you get.

WEEK 1Get comfortable with AI
  1. AI without the jargon. Learn what the common terms mean and run your first useful task.
  2. Ask better questions. Give AI context, a clear task and the format you want, then refine the answer.
WEEK 2Choose tools and use them in everyday life
  1. Find the right tool. Explore which tools suit writing, research or creative work and what you can do without a subscription.
  2. Organise everyday tasks. Turn a list of commitments and to dos into a realistic plan.
WEEK 3Put AI to work for your career and business
  1. Use AI at work. Summarise notes, prepare for meetings or practise a career conversation.
  2. Plan useful marketing. Explain your offer clearly and draft a piece of content in your own voice.
WEEK 4Explore assistants and websites
  1. Design a simple assistant. Write reusable instructions for a task you do often.
  2. Draft a landing page. Outline the content and see how AI can help prototype a page without writing code.
WEEK 5Explore apps, scorecards and dashboards
  1. Sketch an app or scorecard. Decide what information it needs and what it should show back.
  2. Make data easier to read. Use sample data to explore a simple dashboard and decide which numbers matter.
WEEK 6Test an idea and make a plan for what’s next
  1. Test a business idea. Explore who it is for, what problem it solves and one way to find out whether people want it.
  2. Use AI responsibly. Review privacy and accuracy, finish one practical project and choose what you’ll keep doing.

Good questions

Is this for me if I’ve never used AI?

Yes. We start with where to type, how to ask for something useful and what not to share. You don’t need to code or know the terminology.

Do I need a paid AI subscription?

No. You don’t need to download any AI tools before the first workshop. Victoria will show you how to get started in your browser. A free AI account is enough for the core exercises.

What if I miss a session?

You’ll get a replay of the teaching demonstration and a short practice task so you can catch up. Private questions and clinic conversations are not recorded.

When are the optional help clinics?

Clinic dates depend on the group you join. The clinics are optional and last 30 minutes.

Will I build a full app or website?

You’ll learn how to sketch and prototype an idea. The course gives you a practical starting point, not a promise to launch a full app, website or dashboard in one session.
