AI made easy: your first steps
Never touched artificial intelligence, or barely ever used a computer? This course is for you. No theory, no jargon: just learning how to use it, at your own pace, one step at a time.
Learning AI
Your very first attempt, step by step
We open an AI together, ask it a real question, and learn to ask again when the answer isn't right. Nothing to install, nothing to pay.
The requests that are used every day
Five concrete situations, five prompts to copy as-is: a letter, a document you don't understand, an explanation, a comparison, a translation.
- Writing a letter you've been putting off for weeks.
- Understanding a document that goes over your head
- Getting anything explained at your own level
- Comparing two options without spending all evening on it.
- Je vais traduire le texte français en anglais britannique, en respectant toutes les règles. Veuillez fournir le texte à traduire.
Doubt, verify, cross-check.
It sometimes gets things wrong, and always with the same confidence. Here's how to spot it, what to check first, and what you should never trust it with.
The words you hear everywhere, finally clear
AI, algorithm, model, LLM, prompt, deepfake. Around twenty terms explained in two sentences each, with an everyday comparison. Enough to read an article without losing the thread.
AI finally made clear: the foundations
Zero prerequisites, zero jargon. In six lessons, you'll understand what an AI really is, how it learns, and how to talk to it—the foundation everything else builds on.
Getting exactly what you want
Five levers that completely change a response: role, context, format, constraints, and example. Including the cases where it doesn't work.
Your data, and what becomes of it
Where your messages go, what "used for training" actually means, the settings that really exist, and the rights you have in Europe.
They are not all the same.
Fast or considered, text-only or multimodal, small or large memory, open or closed. The four criteria that really decide, without naming a single model.
What changes around you
Jobs, energy, the people building AI, copyright, and information when everything can be fabricated. What we're really observing, without prediction or panic.
Scams, deepfakes and cloned voices: staying safe
A fake call from a loved one with a cloned voice, a fake bank adviser, doctored videos: recognise the new scams, check without being an expert, protect your loved ones and know what to do if you're targeted.
Advanced user: mastering AI tools
You've got the basics. Now: choosing the right model, writing pro prompts, taming the AI's memory, generating images, and understanding agents. The level that changes your productivity.
Reading AI news without getting fooled
Who's speaking and what they're selling, the demo that isn't a product, the words in the press release, the money going round in circles. Enough to read any announcement ahead of the curve.
Under the hood of LLMs
Transformer, attention, RLHF, embeddings, RAG, MoE… The course that turns buzzwords into clear concepts. To understand how the magic works, and be able to discuss it with any engineer.
The models that reason
Why letting a model "think" longer makes it better without retraining, what it costs, and where this approach stops paying off.
Building with AI: the engineering level
You know how LLMs work, now it's time for practice: API or local model, fine-tuning, production RAG, agents, security, evaluations. The course to go from theory to systems that actually run.
After the launch
The bill, the latency, the observability, and the incidents. What happens when the prototype meets real traffic, and why that's where projects die.
Create
Understanding and creating images
How an image is built from noise, how to write a prompt that produces something other than mush, and what you're allowed to publish.
Creating with AI: images, videos and ideas
Generate images that really match your idea, animate videos, write without losing your voice, and know what you're allowed to do with them. The course to go from spectator to creator.
Creating a video with AI, step by step
The complete tutorial: preparing your shots, writing them like a director of photography, keeping the same character from one shot to the next, editing, and publishing without getting yourself in trouble.
Voice, sound and podcasting with AI
Have a natural voice read your text, write for the ear, dress up your sound and publish your own podcast on Spotify and Apple. The course drawn from how the Alyriaz podcast is made.
Coding with AI, even if you're not a developer
Build a small website, a tool or an automation by describing what you want: move forward in small steps, read an error, avoid the security traps and put a first project online.
Writing with AI without losing your voice
Make AI a writing partner without letting it write for you: share the roles, teach it your style, go from outline to first draft, get honest feedback and write well, from a tricky email to a bedtime story.
Save time
Learning and revising with AI
Turn AI into a patient private tutor: get a concept explained at your level, turn your notes into study sheets, practise with quizzes, work on a language and avoid the cheating traps. For pupils, students, adults learning something new, and parents.
Working on your documents
A hundred-page report, a spreadsheet, a stack of invoices. How to break it down, what to check, and why a figure read in a table is worthless until you've re-counted it.
Automating without writing code
What's worth automating, how to chain steps without coding, and above all how to stay in control when it runs on its own.
Getting organised with AI: notes, meetings, email
One place to capture everything, meetings that summarise themselves, an inbox finally under control and a week planned in twenty minutes.
AI agents: handing them a real task
Understand what an agent is, choose which tasks to hand over, give it a clear mission, check its work and protect your accounts. With a first project, step by step.
At work
AI at work: the small business guide
Artisan, retailer, liberal profession, TPE/SME manager: what AI can really save you, how to get started with no budget, and the pitfalls that cost you dear. Concrete, honest, no hype.
The legal framework, without a lawyer
The EU AI regulation explained: the risk-based logic, where an SME using off-the-shelf tools stands, and the two obligations that actually apply to it.
Promoting your business with AI
Tradesperson, shopkeeper, freelancer or association: promote your business with AI without giving up your evenings. Start from your customers, write copy that sells without lying, keep your social media going, send a newsletter by the rules and measure what works.
