About this course

Generative AI for Everyone is a plain-English introduction to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and the wave of AI tools now built into everyday software. It is written for people with no technical background: managers, teachers, small-business owners, students and anyone who keeps hearing about generative AI and wants to understand it properly. You will learn what a large language model actually is, why it can write fluent text yet still make things up, how to ask clear questions that get useful answers, and where these tools genuinely save time in writing, research, planning and learning. Every lesson ends with practical exercises you can do in a free chat app. There are no prerequisites beyond curiosity and a web browser. By the end you will have a personal set of daily AI workflows, a clear sense of the limits and risks, and the confidence to talk about AI at work without jargon.
