You made it to the right page. Everything the book pointed you to is below.

Before you grab it, here are four things that make the difference between reading about AI and actually using it.

​

1. Pick one tool and stay there for a few weeks.
ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Copilot all do roughly the same things. Hopping between them slows you down. Choose one, learn how it behaves, and switch later if you have a reason to.

​

2. The prompt matters more than the tool.
Most disappointing results come from vague instructions, not weak software. Tell the AI who it's writing for, what format you want back, and how long it should be. That one habit fixes the majority of bad output.

​

3. Start with real work, not practice work.
Take something already on your list this week: an email you keep putting off, a rough outline, a spreadsheet you need to explain to someone. Practice tasks are easy to abandon. Real ones teach you faster.

​

4. Expect to run it twice.

The first answer is a starting point, not a finished product. Tell the AI what to fix and ask again. Two or three rounds beats one perfect prompt almost every time.

One note on screenshots and menus. AI tools update constantly, so a button may have moved since the book went to print. The thinking behind each prompt still applies no matter which version you're looking at or which tool you use.

Now for the bonuses.
