What you'll learn
- Prompt with Context Turn vague requests into focused AI work by defining roles, context, criteria, examples, and constraints.

- Manage AI Effectively Set expectations, provide feedback, choose the right model or mode, and restart conversations when context gets overloaded.
- Build Reusable AI Projects Create reusable projects or custom GPTs with curated files, instructions, examples, and frameworks for repeatable work.
- Structure AI Knowledge Use markdown to structure instructions, knowledge files, summaries, and handoffs that AI can follow reliably.
- Orchestrate AI Workflows Choose between chat, projects, workflows, and software based on risk, repeatability, accuracy needs, and scale.
