I built 19 free AI lessons at yauhenm.com/learn. Each one takes about 15 minutes. You read plain words, see real-life examples, and practice right on the page. No sign-up, no email. 11 lessons teach the AI tools I use every day, like asking four AIs the same question or getting notes from any podcast. 8 lessons explain what AI runs on: chips, Taiwan, one Dutch machine, memory and power. I am not a coder. I play pro basketball in France. I wrote each lesson the way I wanted it explained to me.
Why lessons and not another video?
A video shows you what I did. A lesson makes you try it. Every lesson has small tasks on the page: you guess first, then you pick an answer, then you check it. You can't just scroll past.
The words stay simple on purpose. English is my second language. When a tool explains itself with five terms I don't know, I stop reading. So every special word gets one short line the first time it shows up.
What is in the 19 lessons?
| Track | Lessons | What you learn |
|---|---|---|
| Daily tools | 11 | The AI tools I use every day. Pick any lesson. Each one works on its own. |
| Chips and power | 8 | How AI really works, from sand to the power plant. Read from top to bottom. |
A few from each track:
- Ask 4 AIs, not 1. One AI can be wrong and sound sure. Ask four, then compare.
- Learn any topic from 50 sources. NotebookLM reads the sources. You ask the questions in order.
- Let AI question your plan. AI asks you the hard questions before you spend a week on a bad idea.
- From sand to AI chip in 6 steps. The trip every AI chip takes, and who makes each part.
- The one machine no one can copy. A Dutch machine prints the smallest chips. No one else can build it.
- Enough chips, not enough power. The new limit for AI is electricity.
The chips track started from my own research. I put a pile of sources about chips into NotebookLM and asked it questions in order.
What does one lesson look like?
Take Ask 4 AIs, not 1. It has six short parts:
- The question. What the lesson answers, with the key words explained.
- Your guess. You guess before you read the answer.
- The 5 steps. How to run your own "council" with free AI chats.
- Remember. The few lines worth keeping.
- Two checks. Two quick questions to see if it stuck.
- Tell a friend. Say it in one sentence, like you would explain it to a friend.
Where can I get the skills from the lessons?
Some lessons use a skill. A skill is a saved set of instructions an AI like Claude follows every time it does a job. Think of a recipe card.
I put mine on GitHub for free: github.com/holl4ndtv/skills. Four are mine: podcast-notes, web-qc, loop-spec and write-a-skill. Write-a-skill is built on Matt Pocock's version. The lessons also link to skills other people made: grilling by Matt Pocock, stop-slop by Hardik Pandya and last30days by Matt Van Horn. Each lesson shows how to install the skill it uses.
How did I check the lessons?
- Facts. Each lesson is checked against official docs and sources. The date of the check is in the lesson. AI tools change fast, so names and plans can change.
- Phone. Most people will open this on a phone. I checked every page at six screen widths, from a small phone to a laptop. Text is at least 16px, and every button is big enough for a thumb.
- Pictures. The covers are engravings made with GPT Image. One gold detail each, no text.
- Order. I asked my AI council to judge how the lessons are sorted. That is why there are two tracks, not one long list.
Which lesson should you start with?
Start with Ask 4 AIs, not 1. It changes how you read every AI answer after it. If you want to know where AI comes from, start the chips track with From sand to AI chip in 6 steps.
