Start course →Perfect phishing, voice-clone calls, fake shops and reviews, deepfakes, and a household plan for when something gets through. Short, practical and good to share with family.

Start course →Choose the right jobs to delegate, brief agents clearly, and keep control with least access, approvals, schedules, budgets and a working off switch. Covers prompt injection in plain English.
Start course →Use ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini as a tutor rather than a crutch: study modes, explain-it-back, quizzes and spacing, skill plans, language practice and checking what you learn.
Start course →Run AI models on your own laptop: what hardware you need, Ollama vs LM Studio vs Jan, choosing a first model, private document chat and the checks that keep local AI local.
Start course →From prompt engineering through RAG, agents, MCP, evals, and multi-agent systems. Practical knowledge for anyone ready to build with LLMs.
Start course →A 20-lesson course on the economics of automation and the future of work. What changes, what doesn't, who gains, who loses, and how to reason about claims that all sound urgent.

Start course →A 16-lesson course aligned with Google's May 2026 generative-AI search guide. Covers GEO, AEO, schema, the three ways agents read a website, robots.txt and the llms.txt debate, agent protocols (MCP, AP2, NLWeb, UCP, WebMCP), off-site signals, freshness, measurement, the five-step audit, the first-mover window, and a calibration on Google's official position.
Start course →A 22-lesson course mixing the productivity literature (Drucker, Newport, Allen, Forte) with the AI toolkit (models, context, skills, hooks, sub-agents, MCP, headless workflows). Beginner to advanced, with the peer-reviewed out-of-the-loop performance problem at its centre.
