"I know AI is a big deal, but I haven't really dived in yet."
What this level looks like
You know AI is changing work, but you haven't really dug into it yet. You might have tried ChatGPT once or twice, typed in a basic question, and wondered what all the hype was about. That's totally normal. The real value comes when you figure out what to actually *ask* AI to do — and that's easier than you think. Think of AI like a brilliant new colleague who studied everything but knows nothing about your specific situation. The better you brief them, the better they perform.
What to do next
- ✓ Try asking an AI assistant to summarize a long email thread or document you received this week
- ✓ Ask it to brainstorm 10 ideas for something you're working on — a project, a presentation, a message you need to write
- ✓ Read our Getting Started guide — it's written exactly for where you are right now
