Questions about learning to use AI
Where should I start if I am new to AI?
Start with Your First Prompt, then practice specificity, context and a focused revision. Use Common Mistakes to review facts and missing details before relying on the result. You can also choose a path for a task you already have.
Are the lessons free, and do I need Plus to follow along?
The public lessons are free to read without an account. Running a request requires sign-in and the relevant model, plan and credits. Work and live Voice require Plus; media and other model/tool requests have applicable credit rules. Reading a lesson does not unlock its product feature.
Will my learning progress be saved?
Completion marks and practice drafts save in this browser, including on shared devices. They do not sync between accounts or devices. If browser storage is unavailable, progress is available for the current visit. Review checks and example questions start fresh when a lesson is reopened.
How long do lessons and projects take?
Lesson times are estimates for reading. They do not include running a model, creating media or files, reviewing the result or revising it. Start with a small task and allow time to check the complete output.
What is the difference between Learn and Docs?
Learn teaches methods through worked examples and practice. Docs explains product controls, supported inputs, access and troubleshooting. Follow the relevant reference when you need the exact controls for your task.
Can I follow the lessons on my phone?
You can read the public lessons in a browser on your phone. Product access and controls depend on the app, device and feature. File editors and media studios can have different controls; check the linked reference before following those steps.
