One concept, one game
Tokens, temperature, prompts, tools, branches: each idea is a game with its own mechanic, short enough for a coffee break. You learn it by playing with it, not by reading about it.

Learn AI by playing with it.
From what an LLM really is to workflows that sort your inbox: nineteen concepts, each one a small game you play in a few minutes, on a map you travel down. No slides, no jargon first. You understand by doing, and you leave knowing why it matters at work.

You are the model.
The first game of the AI course, right here. Bet on the next word five times, and find out what an LLM really does when it writes.
Next-word prediction
Be the Model
The idea
A large language model (LLM) writes one small piece of text at a time. At every step it scores every possible next piece by how likely it is to follow what came before, and picks one.
Your mission
You are the model. Read the start of a sentence, bet on the word that comes next, and see the real odds. Then find out what happens when the sentence asks for something the model can't know.
Up to three stars, 100 XP each. Replay to beat your best: only improvements earn XP.
How it works
Every concept is a game. Every game ends on why it matters.
The value, every time
Each game ends on what you just learned and why it matters at work: the email you'll write better, the mistake you'll now catch, the job you can hand over.
A map to travel
A course is a journey through lands, one per section, with a stop for every step. Stars open the road ahead, and your XP earns you a title in each course.
Courses
Pick a land, follow the road.
Each course is a map: sections are lands, steps are stops, and every stop is a game.
AI, from the ground up
Nineteen concepts in five sections: what a model really does, how to brief it, how to give it your knowledge, how it uses tools, and how to automate a whole job with it. One game each.
