What if prompting wasn’t about finding the right command—but discovering how you think, speak, and clarify your intent?
This short, beginner-friendly course offers a practical on-ramp to a new kind of AI literacy—one that isn’t about tricking the machine, but about listening to what it reflects back.
You’ll learn how to prompt more clearly, frame your requests more intentionally, and engage with tools like ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini as thinking partners—not just chatbots.
Why This Course Exists
Most people ask: “Why is ChatGPT wrong?” But a more helpful question is:
- What is the AI reflecting back to me?
- Was my input clear—or did I accidentally send mixed signals?
- Am I collaborating—or just hoping the machine figures me out?
Instead of memorizing prompt templates, this course helps you notice the patterns in your own inputs—and gives you language tools to prompt with more clarity, calm, and coherence.
What You’ll Learn
- How to talk to AI more naturally—without scripts, jargon, or robotic phrasing
- Why vague inputs lead to vague replies (and how to fix it)
- How to frame prompts with intention—not just commands
- Ways to use AI as a sounding board for your ideas and decisions
What’s Inside
- ✔️ Five beginner-friendly modules (short and focused)
- 🧠 Bonus: “Soft Prompting” guide for tone and flow
- 🪞 Foundational concepts like the Reflection Ratio
- No jargon. No gimmicks. Just plain-language insight and practice.
By the end, you’ll stop “talking at” the AI—and start prompting with more presence, awareness, and traction.
