YOUR FIRST STEP
Learn in this order
- 1 Keyboard practice Optional Skip it if you're already quick. Most of your time working with an AI is time spent writing requirements. Slow typing is a direct tax on that. Start
- 2 AI fundamentals Required Knowing what AI is good and bad at is what lets you decide which work to hand over and which to keep. The beginner track alone is enough for the job. Start

Talking with AI
Required
Bring a real work document and talk it through with your Lyen learning buddy. "Summarize this" gets far less than "three sentences for an executive briefing, lead with the numbers."
Start
- 4 Prompt practice Required First, compare in the lesson a vague question with one that gives a goal, context and output format. Then ask Lyen both. Say which answer fits your goal, and check that the facts are right. Start
- 5 Projects and to-dos Optional Planned: project and to-do tools are not yet available here. For now, save a short task list in your own notes. Coming soon

Files and image generation
Optional
Planned: the file and image workspace is not yet available here. This step is a preview of future activities.

7 Team collaboration Optional The whole team working the same way does far more than one person getting faster. Create a group and share the prompts and materials that worked.
Tips that make it easier
- Don't invent new work. Take one task you already have and do that one with an AI first.
- Save the prompts that worked. The same task will come around again next month.
- Use only material you are allowed to share outside. Changing names and numbers does not hide whose document it is, and it can change the answer. When practising, use a small made-up example.
