Origins of AI
History, machine learning, neural networks, and the datasets that fuel them.
Conquer AI, don't let it conquer you.
I write GAIN — Grow with AI NOW, a six-part, 25-chapter course that takes you from "what even is AI?" to shipping a real AI-powered product. No hype, no jargon left unexplained — a mechanically honest look at how these systems actually work, and how to use them well.
25 chapters across 6 parts, from first principles to a shipped product.
History, machine learning, neural networks, and the datasets that fuel them.
Tokenization, embeddings, and the transformer architecture behind ChatGPT and Claude.
Context windows, hallucination, sampling, bias, safety, and multimodal AI.
Prompting techniques, system prompts, and choosing between GPT, Claude, and Gemini.
Everyday productivity, content creation across every medium, and your first API call.
Structured output, tool use, RAG, AI agents, and a full SaaS application.
Every part corrects at least one popular AI oversimplification instead of repeating it.
A running example — a small business owner named Maya — ties every chapter together.
"Try it" exercises in every chapter, whether you stop at Part 5 or go all the way to Part 6.
Every part of GAIN, available on its own or as the complete course.
