Using AI in Everyday Work
A practical course on using AI for the work you already do — emails, documents, research, and meetings — including the judgment calls: what to delegate, what to check, and what never to paste into an AI tool.
Who this course is for
People who want to use AI for actual job tasks and want to do it without embarrassing themselves or creating a problem for their employer. It assumes an ordinary desk job rather than a technical role, and it takes the risks seriously rather than treating them as a footnote.
What you will learn
- How to use AI on emails without producing writing that reads as obviously generated
- A reliable approach to summarizing long documents and threads, including when not to trust the summary
- How to use AI for research without repeating something it invented
- How to turn messy meeting notes into decisions and owners
- What you should never paste into an AI tool, and why the rule is stricter than most people assume
- How to build a habit that keeps your own judgment sharp instead of quietly outsourcing it
Before you start
None, though the course is more useful if you have already read Prompt Engineering for Real Work — the lessons here assume you can write a reasonably specific request.

After this course
You will have a working set of habits for using AI on real tasks and a clear line around what should never go into one of these tools. Combined with the Prompt Library, that is most of what everyday professional use requires.
