Replace the bracketed details and use only fictional, public or approved information.

============================================================
Prompt 1: map your learning goal
============================================================
Help me choose a type of artificial intelligence course.
My goal: [what I want to be able to do].
My experience with AI, coding and maths: [honest description].
Time I can study: [time].
Whether I need a formal qualification: [yes, no or unsure].

Explain whether practical AI literacy, business-focused training or technical study appears closest to my goal. Give reasons, identify missing information and suggest questions for course providers. Do not invent courses, entry requirements or career outcomes.

============================================================
Prompt 2: decode a course syllabus
============================================================
Explain this published AI course syllabus in plain English: [paste public syllabus].

Create a table with topic, what a learner might do, stated prerequisites and questions to ask. Clearly separate what the provider explicitly says from your interpretation. Do not assume the course includes practical work, assessment, accreditation or support unless the text says so. End with a short list of details that remain unclear.

============================================================
Prompt 3: test a study timetable
============================================================
Help me assess whether this course fits my week.
Published schedule and workload: [details].
My available study windows: [days and times, no private calendar details].
Other fixed commitments: [general description].

Make a realistic weekly plan that includes classes, assignments, revision and breaks. Do not reduce the provider’s stated workload to make it fit. Flag clashes, unknown requirements and questions to ask about catch-up options. If it does not fit, explain what would need to change.

============================================================
Prompt 4: create a plan from a fixed brief
============================================================
Use only this fictional brief to make an event preparation checklist.
A local book group will host a discussion on Thursday at 7 pm. The venue is confirmed. Morgan will bring discussion questions. The number of attendees and the refreshments budget are not yet known. No publicity has been approved.

Separate confirmed arrangements, proposed next actions and questions to resolve. Do not invent dates, costs, suppliers or permission to publish. Include a column explaining which fact supports each confirmed arrangement.

============================================================
Prompt 5: prepare for a technical course
============================================================
Compare these published course prerequisites with my current experience.
Prerequisites: [provider text].
My experience: [specific tasks I can already complete].
Preparation time available: [time].

List clear matches, uncertain areas and gaps. Suggest a small practice task for each gap, without claiming that completing it guarantees admission or readiness. Keep provider requirements unchanged. End with questions I should confirm with the admissions or teaching team.
