🚀 Course Overview
The first part of this course is a hands-on, practical exploration of today’s most powerful large language models — ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini — and how to actually use them in your daily life and work.
You'll learn how each of these models thinks, what makes them different, and how to use them effectively for real-world tasks like writing, research, planning, problem-solving, and content creation. You'll leave with the confidence to choose the right tool for the job and get results you can actually use.
