## Courses by industry

### [Getting started with AI](https://adoptai.co/courses/getting-started/)
Plain-English AI lessons for any small business. A few minutes each, no jargon, run on real tasks — not generic tutorials.

- [Tell AI what “good” looks like — before it does the work](https://adoptai.co/courses/getting-started/set-the-bar/): The single highest-leverage prompting move: get AI to define success criteria before it writes a word.
- [Load it with the full picture (vague in, vague out)](https://adoptai.co/courses/getting-started/give-it-context/): Most disappointing AI answers come from thin prompts. Learn what to paste in so it answers as your business, not a generic one.
