Show what you can do with AI
Practical AI skills for working professionals: prove one AI workflow in 30–90 days, with a weekly brief from official sources.
Where are you starting?
Eight questions, then a 30-day plan for your role.
AI moved into your files
The biggest change this month: AI stopped handing you text to paste and started editing the real Word doc, Google Sheet, or deck. Three things to know before you let it.
It edits in place
Word, Excel, and PowerPoint now open inside the Copilot app for Frontier customers. Claude edits Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides from a sidebar on paid plans.
Check: ask for a list of every change it made, then verify three by hand.
It reads the whole database
Gemini in Google Sheets now answers against full BigQuery tables, not just the rows you see. Claude Dashboards shows the query behind every number.
Check: ask for the filters and date range before you present a total.
It keeps working when you leave
Claude Duet, Copilot Studio agent accounts, and a tasks mode in the Gemini app all arrived as previews. You hand off a task and check back later.
Check: write a never-do list before you hand anything off.
