Want Practical AI Skills in 3 Minutes a Day?

Bridging the Divide Between Human and AI

Want to Learn AI in Just 3 Minutes a Day?

I’m working on a new online course: AI Foundations – Ultra-Micro Video Learning.

Each lesson will be just 2 to 3 minutes long, teaching one clear concept at a time. Think of it like a crash course in AI, broken into small, focused pieces you can actually finish – and apply.

Before I build the whole thing, I want to see who’s interested.

  • Learn AI in tiny, digestible lessons
  • Apply practical skills immediately
  • Help shape the course before it launches

Why I’m Doing This

Most AI courses are either too long, too technical, or too boring.

I’ve spent the last few months designing a system that solves that. Short videos. No fluff. Just practical skills you can use straight away. Each video takes 10–15 minutes to produce, so I can move fast – but only if I know people want this.

This is important because it helps me prioritise what to build next. If there’s demand, I’ll invest in creating the full course. If not, no problem – I’ll pivot to something else.

What You’ll Learn (in ~3 minutes at a time)

Here’s what I’ve mapped out so far:

➡️ What AI really is (and isn’t)
➡️ Where AI is useful in daily work
➡️ How to write better AI prompts
➡️ Common mistakes and how to avoid them
➡️ Quick wins to get started fast

All built using a proven format:

  • One video = One clear idea
  • Short enough to finish over coffee
  • Each lesson ends with a real action you can try

Who It’s For

If you’re curious about AI but don’t want to wade through hours of video or sift through endless blog posts, this is for you.

It’s designed for:

➡️ Professionals who want to use AI tools more confidently
➡️ Teams who need a common foundation
➡️ Solo creators and consultants looking for quick wins
➡️ Anyone who prefers learning in small, focused chunks

What I’m Asking

I’m not selling anything (yet). I’m just asking:

Would you be interested in this kind of course?

If yes, leave a comment or send me a message. You’ll be the first to know when it’s live. You might even get early access.

Why Now?

AI is moving fast. But most people are still figuring out the basics. This course gives you a practical starting point without the overwhelm.

Whether you’re brand new or you’ve dabbled a bit, this approach helps you build real skills – at your own pace.

A Quick Example

One of the first videos is called “The Big AI Misconception”.

In just three minutes, it explains why AI isn’t “intelligent” like a human – and why that matters when you use it. The action step? Write your own version of “AI is not…” to make your mental model clearer.

That’s the kind of bite-sized clarity I want to bring to every lesson.

PS: If you’re a team lead or trainer, I’d love to chat about how this could work inside your organisation too.

Your feedback will shape what I build next.
