From Chat to Competency.
4 levels. 20 lessons. A structured learning path for knowledge workers who use AI every day — but never learned how.
Website · Curriculum · Who is this for · Run locally
Most knowledge workers already use AI — but without structure. They copy-paste into ChatGPT, get decent results sometimes, and have no idea why it works or when it doesn't. There's no onboarding, no curriculum, no progression. AI Fluency closes that gap: a free, open learning path from first conversations to autonomous delegation. No coding required.
| Level | Topic | What you'll learn |
|---|---|---|
| L1 | First Steps with AI | What AI actually is, tool landscape, first conversations, understanding limits, do's & don'ts |
| L2 | Intentional Prompting | Prompt anatomy, techniques (few-shot, chain-of-thought), iteration as method, task types, good vs. bad prompts |
| L3 | Context as Infrastructure | Persistent context, Claude Projects, Custom GPTs, M365 Copilot, system prompt design |
| L4 | AI as Coworker | Delegation spectrum, Claude Cowork, ChatGPT Agent Mode, trust calibration, EU AI Act basics |
Plus a glossary with 27 key terms.
Every lesson follows a consistent pattern:
OVERVIEW (what and why) → CORE CONCEPT (the key idea) → HOW IT WORKS (step by step) → EXAMPLES (concrete, real-world) → DO'S & DON'TS (practical guardrails) → TAKEAWAY (one sentence you'll remember)
No code. No setup. Just clear explanations and actionable knowledge.
- Knowledge workers who use AI tools daily but never received structured training
- Team leads and managers who want their teams to use AI effectively and responsibly
- Anyone curious about AI beyond the hype — no technical background required
- Prerequisites: None. A browser and curiosity.
- Time: ~10-20 hours at your own pace
Designed for non-technical users. Bilingual (English + German). Every lesson reviewed for clarity and accuracy. No tracking, no cookies, no backend. Built with Astro + Starlight.
