How to Use AI for Smarter Research & Creative Ideas

⏱ 8 hours

AI can find you an answer in seconds. It can also hand you a confident, polished answer that's wrong. This self-paced class gives you a system for using AI to research faster, think more clearly, and create content that isn't generic — without putting your name on things you haven't checked. You carry one real topic through four Modules: a verified research brief, insight statements, one sharp content idea, and a first draft. You finish with your own Research-to-Content Playbook, checked by an AI Capstone Evaluator, and the AI Research & Ideation Practitioner badge.
