How to Make Life Easy with AI

AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Microsoft Copilot can draft your emails, plan your week, organise your meals, explain confusing letters and help you learn new skills, but only if you know how to ask. This beginner-friendly, self-paced course shows everyday New Zealanders how to use AI to save real time, with no technical background needed.

Across six practical modules you'll learn what AI assistants actually are, how to write clear prompts with the simple Role–Task–Context–Format framework, and how to apply AI to everyday productivity, home life and work. Every lesson includes real prompt examples you can copy, a hands-on "Try it now" activity and quick key takeaways.

Just as importantly, you'll learn to use AI safely: checking facts, protecting your privacy, spotting AI-powered scams and deepfakes, and recognising bias. You'll finish by building your own AI Life Toolkit, a personal prompt library and routine you can keep using long after the course ends.
