Designed for busy professionals with no coding background, this course shows how to get measurably more done with today’s four leading AI assistants — Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini and Microsoft Copilot. Participants learn a simple, repeatable method: choosing the right tool for the task, prompting it well, and customising it so it remembers their context and house style. Through guided hands-on work, they apply AI to everyday tasks — analysing documents and data, building Excel dashboards, and generating polished slide decks and short explainer videos.
Course Requirement: Learners are required to bring a Wi-Fi-enabled laptop with access to a Generative AI platform (e.g., Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini & Microsoft Copilot).
