Discovery paths

Three self-guided paths to build your AI skills.

Beginner

Explore

Use AI Confidently

Who it’s for: Anyone new to AI or who wants to be more intentional about it. No prerequisites.

What you’ll be able to do:

  • Move between AI models and see how the same prompt lands differently
  • Use AI to get better at AI — have it ask questions, write your prompts, and review your sessions
  • Tell what an AI can do from its tools — strong with documents, unreliable with spreadsheets
  • Get AI to sharpen your thinking instead of generating from scratch
  • Recognize AI's pull toward validation — and why asking it to 'be honest' won't fix it
  • Save the prompts you reuse and run them from a personal library — one click or a / command away

Build with AI

Who it’s for: Ready to move from using AI to building with it. The Explore path is helpful background but not required — if you're comfortable using AI, you can start here.

What you’ll be able to do:

  • Understand what an agent is — a saved prompt with instructions — and when it's worth building one
  • Build an agent on the platform, with clear instructions and the right model for the job
  • Add tools so your agent can produce Word documents and search the web
  • Give an agent documents to work from — and know when to load a file as context vs. search it
  • Weigh the risk of an agent other people rely on, and when to bring in help
  • Build an agent for a real problem, then share it and improve it with your team and the cohort

Code with AI

Who it’s for: Developers, power users, and anyone with strong technical comfort. Build experience is ideal — or equivalent AI development experience.

What you’ll be able to do:

  • Build sophisticated agents with external integrations
  • Use CLI-based AI tools for programmatic access
  • Connect AI to external data sources and APIs
  • Push beyond what the platform alone can do
  • Handle real-world edge cases and failure modes
  • Build code-level tools that extend AI's reach in your organization
