What this course is about

A passport for your AI assistant, a map of 16 functions and an honest answer to “can it really do that?” How to switch on the feature you need, what to use when it is missing, and how to work around limits in legitimate ways.

Some people expect a miracle and give up after the first invented number. Others use AI like a search engine and never learn that it can read files, study photos and reason step by step. This course is a calm, honest map of what {AI} does well, what it does only under your supervision, and what it cannot do at all. No technical terms, just examples from ordinary work.
