For a family member or senior
Start with one thing you’d like to do.
Ask for plain language, larger text, and time to practice. Invite a trusted person if you want support. Keep control of your accounts and passwords.
Your starting plan
Learn to use AI
Choose one ordinary task, practice with information you can safely share, and look for a class that matches your starting point.
Works anywhere in the United States.
Choose a useful exercise
Try drafting a simple email, organizing a non-sensitive list, or asking for an explanation. Check the answer yourself before using it.
Ask about free local learning
Contact your public library or a community education office. Ask about beginner AI classes, eligibility, accessibility, and device requirements.
Compare before paying
Request the syllabus, level, format, and full price. Choose practical learning where you can ask questions and leave with something useful.
Questions to ask
- What will I learn or receive, and how will we check that it works?
- What is the total price, including subscriptions and follow-up?
- Can you show a relevant example without exposing another customer’s information?
- Will I own the accounts, files, and work when the project ends?
- What information do you need, and how will you protect it?
Before you spend
Ask about free options first. Get the current total price directly from the organizer; do not assume a free introduction includes a free certificate.
Use made-up examples while learning. Keep passwords, customer information, and private documents out of practice prompts.
