AI FOR WORK
AI at Work: Foundations
39 lessons across 13 modules, from tool selection to verifiable work
Start with the task you need to complete. The course covers core assistants, research, translation, meetings, images, video, audio, knowledge bases, AI coding, automation, and personal agents, followed by presentation and an action plan. Each module combines selection, operation, and reusable methods, with attention to evidence, costs, permissions, and acceptance checks.

Learning outcomes
Complete a real task, record sources, time, cost, and rework, then decide what to learn, buy, or automate next.
- Choose tools and subscriptions by task and define data, recording, and commercial-use boundaries.
- Use structured prompts, search, and translation to process information with sources.
- Complete meeting notes, image, video, audio, and knowledge organization tasks.
- Verify results with ROI, expense consolidation, structured content, and weekly-report Skill exercises.
- Set permissions, failure handling, and human review for automation and agents.
- Deliver slides, charts, and an action plan, then improve through use.
