AI Tools for Everyday Jobs: How to Pick One

You match a job you need done to the kind of AI tool that does it, and check its privacy terms, its price and its limits before you sign up.

Why we are adding it. Every launch course assumes you have already picked an AI. None teaches how to choose one for a job, read its privacy terms and price, or see when you need no new tool.

  • What kind of tool does what job2 lessons
  • Reading privacy terms in plain words2 lessons
  • Price, free plans and what they leave out2 lessons
  • When you need no new tool at all2 lessons

AI Tutor: Learn a New Skill, Step by Step

You use AI to learn a new skill step by step: it quizzes you and explains what you missed, and you check what it teaches against a trusted source.

Why we are adding it. The launch courses teach AI for tasks and jobs. None teaches using AI to learn a subject yourself, or how to catch it when it teaches something wrong.

  • Explain, then quiz me2 lessons
  • Catching it when it teaches something wrong2 lessons
  • A study plan you keep2 lessons

Refreshed courses

AI tools change. When a step, a screen or an answer goes out of date, we rewrite the lesson and say what changed.

Build Your Own Personal AI Assistant

Every set-up step checked again against the help pages of ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Microsoft Copilot. The ChatGPT steps are checked again after the date OpenAI gives for retiring custom GPTs, and the Gemini steps after Google's move from Gems to skills.

  • ChatGPT: Custom GPTs are scheduled to retire on Dec 11, 2026.ChatGPT help page, checked Oct 21, 2026
  • Gemini: Starting in November 2026, Gems will transition to skills in Gemini Apps for personal Google Accounts, and in 2027, for work and school accounts.Gemini help page, checked Oct 21, 2026

How to Use ChatGPT and Claude at Work

Every step checked again in ChatGPT and Claude against their own help pages. Any step whose page changed is held, with a plain note, until it is checked again.

AI Prompts That Actually Work

Every lesson read again as each of our four test learners. Any word used before it is explained gets a plain one-line definition. The quick check pool grows, so a retake draws new questions.

AI for Real Estate Agents

The fair housing lesson checked again against HUD's own page on the day of the drop, with that date shown on the lesson.

A refresh never changes a course's outcome, its level, or what the AI may do in it.
