You're using ChatGPT or similar tools but finding yourself spending as much time editing AI output as it would have taken to do the work yourself. You work in aid, development, or social impact. You don't need to be technical - you want to move past trial and error toward informed judgment about when and how AI is actually useful.
If you've never used any digital tools, you may want some foundational experimentation first. If you're already building with AI APIs, parts may feel basic - though the sector-specific framing may still be useful.

Five interactive exercises - about an hour
70% of aid and development professionals use AI regularly, but fewer than 4% report expert-level understanding. These five exercises take about an hour.
