You haven't tried AI yet. Good. Start here.
Your first week is three steps, and the first two don't touch AI at all. Built for the professional with a real deadline, not a curiosity project.
The honest starting point
You're not behind. You're unstarted.
Half the professionals in this country have never used AI at work. The loud ones just post more. So skip the courses that explain how the technology works, and the certificates that prove you watched the videos. You don't need a certificate. You need the deck finished by Friday.
Here's the order that actually works: name what's stuck, get the whole thing out of your head, then let AI carry the first draft without letting it sound like a robot wrote it. Steps one and two need a pen. Step three needs fifteen minutes.
A certificate about AI, or your deck done by Friday. That's the choice. We're the second one.
Your first week
Three steps. All free. In this order.
Name the stuck
Take the Stuck List Diagnostic: seven questions about the project you keep not starting. It tells you which kind of stuck you're in and which fix fits. And yes, "I haven't tried AI for this yet" is one of the answers.

The Brain Dump Protocol: twenty minutes, one sitting, everything about the project out of your head and onto the page. A pen works. This is the step that makes the next one easy, because AI is only as useful as what you hand it.

The Anti-Slop Quick Start. Open the AI tool your company already allows, paste in what you dumped, and ask for a first draft. Then paste in the Quick Start's one-page instruction so the draft sounds like a person instead of a press release. Your first session ends with a real draft of a real thing.

The cold-start course: five short emails, one step a day, from picking the project to sending the finished thing. It opens when enough people are on this list. That's not a tease. It's how we decide what to build.
