Lesson 6 of 8 · Generative AI Foundations You Can Explain
In this lesson. Pick the next course that matches the job you actually have.
What you will learn
- Matching the next course to a real job
- A two-week practice project
- What to keep from this course
Walkthrough
Foundations are enough to start, not enough to specialize. You will map your next step: prompting depth, writing workflows, or building apps. Choose one course and one practice project for the next two weeks so the skill does not sit idle.
Work through the ideas in order. After each point, pause and connect it to a task you already do — a document, a workflow, or a feature you own. The goal of Generative AI Foundations You Can Explain is usable skill, not a pile of notes.
If something is unclear, rewrite it in your own words before you continue. Teaching the step back to yourself is the fastest way to see gaps.
Practice
Name the next course and the project you will finish in two weeks. Put both on your calendar.
Keep the first attempt small. A finished example you can reuse beats a perfect plan you never run.
