Prompt Engineering for Non-Technical Founders

You don't need to learn to code. You need to learn to ask.

That's the whole premise of this course. AI tools like Claude and ChatGPT can already draft your marketing emails, summarize your meetings, write your job postings, and pressure-test your pricing — but only if you can explain what you want. Most founders never get past "write me an email about our sale," get a bland result back, and quietly conclude the technology is overhyped. It isn't. The ask was just underbuilt.

This course was written for people who run businesses, not systems. Every concept is explained in plain English, and every lesson is built around real situations: a landscaping company quoting spring cleanups, a pizza shop answering one-star reviews, a consultant turning a messy client call into an action plan. You'll leave each lesson with prompts you can copy, adapt, and use the same afternoon.

Here's the path we'll take:

• The Founder's Mindset Shift — why AI keeps underwhelming you, how to brief it like a new hire, and what it actually knows (and doesn't) about your business
• Your Prompt Toolkit — the five-part prompt structure, how to teach the AI with examples, and why the follow-up message matters more than the first one
• The Business Playbook — ready-to-adapt prompts for marketing, operations, sales, and customer service
• From Prompts to Systems — chaining small prompts into big projects, building a reusable prompt library, and catching the AI when it's confidently wrong

Each chapter ends with a five-question fast quiz, and lessons reference each other as you go, so the ideas stack instead of scattering. If you'd rather learn with a tutor, hit the "Learn with AI" button on this page — it turns any AI assistant into a personal coach for this exact material.

Budget about two hours for the whole thing, or take it one coffee break at a time. Either way, you'll never look at a blank chat box the same way again.
