A free, five-minute practice guide for everyday work and learning.

FREE SAMPLE RESOURCE · NO PAYMENT REQUIRED

Try one useful AI task in three steps. Practice with a notebook, a printed worksheet, or an AI tool you already use. Never include private information.

01 · ASK

Give a clear task

Example: “Using fictional information, draft a friendly three-line reminder for a community workshop.”

02 · VERIFY

Check what AI wrote

Read every date, name, promise and claim. Fix mistakes and remove anything unsupported.

03 · PROTECT

Keep information private

Do not enter passwords, service records, financial details, medical information or confidential documents.

Your three-minute practice

Prompt to try: “Create a four-item checklist for preparing a beginner-friendly AI workshop. Use only fictional examples. Mark anything that needs human confirmation.”

Before using the result, ask: Are the facts correct? Is the language clear? Is private information absent?

What success looks like

You have one useful draft, you checked it against real facts, and you know which details should stay out of public AI tools.
