Hello Friend,

I hope you had a good week?

I was really pleased to finally launch my online courses last week as part of my paid membership (available for free preview as well). These courses show you how to understand the basics of Generative AI but also show you how to use common AI free tools such as Microsoft CoPilot to help you do various tasks.

I’m also working on new ideas for courses coming soon, as well as planning offering some free AI consultations for you - my subscribers.

Watch this space!

This week you’ll also find details of my post about an AI in education, as well my latest podcast episode.

Have a great week!

Take care,

Pranath
