Stop relearning AI every month. In 3 weeks, turn your existing AI usage into a durable operating system -- across ChatGPT, Claude Code, CLI/embedded agents, and whatever comes next.This is not prompting basics. It's for people already using AI who feel a gap between what they get out of AI today and actual mastery.AI Fluency means having a "theory of mind" for how models, agents, tools, context, workflows, and hype cycles work -- so you can steer, debug, know what's worth using, and how to use it well.The course centers around 3 pillars: 1. Gain a foundational understanding of how LLMs and agents work that will keep you ahead of the game moving forward. It's durable literacy. 2. Build a personal AI tech stack around your particular personality and workflows that will make using AI low-friction, high-trust, and high-impact across tools. 3. Develop an intentional set of habits to help you build muscle over time, because it's your reflexive ability to reach for and use AI that will make this all matter.If you already use AI but feel like things could be easier, faster, better, then this course is for you.

Gain foundational understanding and build your personal AI operating system.

Think beyond the model, get into the scaffold and context.

Not “better prompts” -- instead, better mechanics.

DRIVE, DIFF, your personal AI repo, and more.

Adopt an agent-forward framework to get the best of what AI has to offer.

Instead of being left behind, you'll get and stay ahead of the AI curve

Your personal AI tech stack and operating system.

• you want a PDF of “50 magic prompts”
• you’re not curious about how AI actually works
• you already live inside arXiv 

This course is NOT for you if...

This course is made for you. We'll mostly stay outside of coding tools, except guided projects where they'll be useful even in your context.

If you are non-technical...

... but you still want a foundational understanding of how LLMs and agents work, you'll enjoy this course (a lot)!

If you're already good at using AI...

This is for ambitious professionals who already use AI weekly (or daily), and want reliability and leverage.

That includes founders, operators, product leaders, PMs, engineers, analysts, designers, finance, and GTM leaders.

No technical experience required. This is primarily aimed at non-technical individuals, though engineers also love this course.
