Most “learn AI” advice tells you to read 50 articles. Don’t. Pick one tool, run one workflow, ship one thing. That’s it. Then come back for the next one.

Below is the order I’d send a friend through if they had 60 minutes and wanted to actually use AI by the end of the hour.

Step 01 of 03

Step 1 — Understand the basics (15 min)

• Quick AI Beginner’s Guide — what the major tools are and what they’re for
• How AI Chatbots Really Work — the only mental model you need
• The 2026 AI Starter Stack — pick your tools without overthinking it

Step 02 of 03

Step 2 — Get prompt-fluent (20 min)

• The AI Beginner’s Playbook — 20 copy-paste prompts to start with
• Why your AI keeps giving generic answers — and how to fix it
• Stop Googling your AI — the shift that changes everything

Step 03 of 03

Step 3 — Pick one workflow and ship it (25 min)

Pick the one closest to your day:

• Inbox Zero with AI — if email is eating your week
• Turn meetings into action items — if you live on calls
• Make spreadsheets talk to you — if numbers are part of the job
• Take control of your finances with AI — if it’s for life, not work
