About the programme

“A complete guide to artificial intelligence: ChatGPT, generative AI and putting it to work” is a structured course for people who want more than an overview of what AI can do — you learn to use it on real work, to earn more, and to scale what you do.

This is hands-on training. Step by step you will learn to work with ChatGPT, generative models and automation, and to produce copy, analysis, funnels, visual content and complete AI systems for a business.

The course covers everything: from understanding how large language models work and how their answers are formed, through advanced prompt engineering, content at scale, SEO, advertising material and micro-funnels, to automation through Make and Zapier.

You will learn to use AI for marketing, social media, e-commerce, market research, competitor analysis, spreadsheets and data, presentations, images and video — and even to build your own custom GPTs and knowledge bases with RAG.

Separate modules cover automating processes, integrating through APIs, security, defending against prompt injection, and the legal side of working with AI.

You come away not with a pile of tools but with a clear system for putting AI to work: saving dozens of hours a month, producing content faster, converting better, cutting costs, and building processes that scale.

The course suits business owners, marketers, copywriters, managers and specialists who want a step change in what they can get done, and who want to treat AI as an advantage rather than an experiment.

What you will be able to do

From the basics of ChatGPT to building your own AI systems and business automations.

Prompt Engineering

The anatomy of a prompt, few-shot examples and advanced techniques — learn to get what you actually want from a model.

AI copywriting and content

Copy, articles, ad offers, and scripts for video and podcasts — quickly and in the right voice.

Automation with Make and Zapier

Connect AI to your email, forms and social media, and automate the routine and your lead generation.

Generating images and video

Midjourney, DALL·E, Firefly and Runway — visuals, product listings and product photography.

Custom GPTs and knowledge bases (RAG)

Build your own assistants and connect your own data through RAG and the API.

AI funnels and analytics

Micro-funnels, market and competitor analysis, and working with spreadsheets and data.
