Learn AI using AI - Part One

Tawfik Platform

This course, "Learn AI using AI - Part One," is a practitioner-grade program designed to transform casual AI users into fluent, strategic power users. It is structured into three modules: Module 1, "The Question Asker," introduces six major AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Qwen, DeepSeek, NotebookLM) and the foundational mental model of an LLM as a "brilliant amnesiac intern," along with the "Trust Ladder" for assessing reliability. Module 2, "The Prompt Crafter," teaches a structured six-element prompt framework and advanced techniques like few-shot and chain-of-thought prompting, emphasizi…

Course outline

Module 1 — The Question Asker (Week 1)

This module introduces students to the landscape of AI assistants and the critical skill of task-tool matching. Topic 1.1 profiles six major AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, QWEN, DeepSeek, NotebookLM) and explains the underlying Large Language Model (LLM) technology as a next-…

  • Topic 1.1: Choosing Your AI Assistant This topic introduces students to the landscape of major AI assistants and the underlying technology that powers them. Lesson 1.1.1 profiles six key tools—Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, QWEN, DeepSeek, and NotebookLM—emphasizing that no single AI is best for all tasks; the optimal choi…
  • Topic 1.2: Trust & Skepticism This Topic combines two lessons that build a practical trust framework for using large language models (LLMs). Lesson 1.2.1 introduces the "Trust Ladder," a pre-ask decision tool that categorizes tasks and prescribes trust levels from HIGH to NONE, along with verification actions…

Module 2 — The Prompt Crafter (Week 2)

This module covers the craft of effective AI prompting, progressing from foundational structure to advanced techniques. Topic 2.1 introduces a six-element framework (Context, Role, Task, Constraints, Format, Examples) for constructing precise prompts and establishes prompting as …

  • Topic 2.1: Anatomy of a Strong Prompt This topic covers the anatomy of effective AI prompts through two complementary lessons. The first lesson introduces a six-element framework (Context, Role, Task, Constraints, Format, Examples) for crafting precise prompts, emphasizing that unspecified elements default to generic…
  • Topic 2.2: Advanced Prompting Techniques This Topic covers advanced prompting techniques that move beyond basic zero-shot interactions. Lesson 2.2.1 introduces few-shot prompting (providing 2-5 representative examples) and chain-of-thought (CoT) prompting (asking the model to reason step-by-step), along with their combi…

Module 3 — The Power User (Weeks 3–4)

Module 3 — The Power User (Weeks 3–4) advances students from basic AI interaction to strategic, multi-tool mastery. It begins by expanding the AI Toolbox beyond text chat, covering file uploads, web search, deep research, voice, image generation, and multimodal inputs, anchored b…

  • Topic 3.1: The AI Toolbox This topic, "The AI Toolbox," introduces students to the core features that expand an AI model's capabilities beyond basic text chat. Lesson 3.1.1 covers three methods for bringing external information into the model's context window: file uploads, web search, and deep research. …
  • Topic 3.2: Persistent Context & Customization This topic addresses two critical skills for advanced AI use: managing persistent context and making judicious decisions about when to employ AI. The first lesson introduces a four-layer model of context persistence—message, workspace, custom instructions, and memory—to solve the…
  • Topic 3.3: Capstone Project This capstone project synthesises the entire course by requiring students to solve a real, multi-component problem using iterative refinement with AI tools. In Lesson 3.3.1, students select a problem with 3-4+ sub-tasks, employ at least three of six AI tools (including one advanc…
