Course description

AI for Everyday Life is a hands-on class for anyone curious about AI but not sure where to start. No tech background needed — students begin with the basics (what AI actually is, how to use tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity safely) and build from there each week: vibe coding and automation, skills, agents, even AI-generated music and art. By the end, students will have built their own small AI project and will show it off on demo day.

Course Help Desk

Questions about the class? Here's how I'd answer a few common ones.

Sample conversation

Do I need any experience with AI before this class?

Not at all. The class starts from the very beginning — no prior experience needed. We build confidence week by week with practical, hands-on examples you can use right away.

What tools will we actually use?

We focus on free, everyday tools you can keep using after class — ChatGPT and similar assistants. Each week introduces one new skill so nothing feels overwhelming.

I'm not very technical. Will I be lost?

You won't be. Everything is taught in plain language with real-life situations — recipes, email, scheduling, research. If anything feels unclear, bring it to class and we'll work through it together.

The live help desk connects during class — text or voice.
