Week 1 — Stop Winging It

Before AI can do real work for you, you need to know how to ask. This week is about that one skill.

03 · FAQ

Questions, answered.

Do I need to know how to code?
No. Nothing in this program requires code. If something ever seems technical, ask AI to explain it in plain terms — that's the whole point.
Which AI tool should I use?
Claude Pro or ChatGPT Plus both work for everything here. The exercises are tool-agnostic. I write instructions for Claude because that's what I use, but you can follow along on any major paid plan. Nothing is sponsored or affiliated.
What if I fall behind?
The exercises don't expire. Do them at your own pace. The 30-day framing is about building a habit, not a deadline. Missing a day isn't failure — stopping is.
What's a context document?
A plain-text summary of who you are, what your business does, and how you work. Pasting it at the start of a conversation means you don't have to re-explain yourself every time. You'll build yours on Day 8.
How do I get the most out of this?
Do the exercises on real work. The examples are just examples — the value comes from using your actual emails, your actual decisions, your actual writing. Generic inputs get generic outputs.
