Courses that teach you AI, not hype
Using the Prompt Generator Without Sounding Like a Bot
Take a stock prompt from the generator, lock your voice, and leave with a prompt pack you can paste this week — not another 'be professional yet friendly' draft.
“A prompt that asks for 'professional yet friendly' is how you get a paragraph that could belong to any dentist in any suburb.”
A One-Page Employee ChatGPT / AI Policy You Can Adopt
Cut the twelve-page AI policy into one page a receptionist can recite: traffic lights, approved tools, review rule, and who to ask.
“If the policy is longer than the coffee break you used to announce it, you wrote a brochure. Brochures do not stop someone pasting a customer list into a free chatbot.”
FAQ Bot Content That Does Not Invent Answers
Build a seed file from real tickets, write refusal lines the bot is allowed to say, and keep invented hours, prices, and promises off the site.
“A bot that guesses your Saturday hours is a receptionist who invents the lock on the door. The customer remembers the lock.”
Content Generator QA: What to Delete Before It Ships
Run a delete pass on every generated draft: invented stats, leftover year stamps, fake social proof, and the sentences that could belong to anyone.
“The generator will give you a confident percentage. Your job is to treat that number like a stain on a shirt — remove it before you leave the house.”
When a Readiness Quiz “Yes” Is a Trap
A high score is not a green light. Learn which quiz answers hide a 2019 Google Doc, a leftover SaaS login, or one person who is 'the AI person.'
“The quiz cannot smell a process that exists only in one person's head. You can. That is the whole job of this lesson.”
A 30-Day SMB AI Rollout That Stays on One Workflow
Pick one workflow. Run four weeks: source text, draft, shadow, limited live. Leave with a weekly cadence — not a second tool login.
“Two workflows in week one is how you get zero workflows in week four. The boring shop that finished one thing is the one that still uses it in November.”
