What you learn

Three things, in plain English.

How to write a prompt

A prompt is what you type to the AI. I show you a simple way to ask so the answer comes back right the first time, not the fifth. We try it together, live.

The AI words, decoded

Model, prompt, hallucination, agent. Each word in one plain sentence, so you can follow any AI conversation.

A one-page cheat sheet

The prompt steps and the words, on one page. It comes in your sign-up email, so you can keep it next to you.

What is a prompt?

A prompt is the message you type to an AI like ChatGPT or Claude. The AI reads your words and writes an answer. It only knows what you tell it. So the more clearly you say what you want, the better the answer.

Think of it like ordering food. “Something to eat” gets you anything. “A turkey sandwich on wheat, no onions” gets you lunch.
How a prompt works: you type what you want, the AI reads it and writes an answer, and when you add more detail you get a better answer back. You type a prompt what you want, in plain words The AI reads your words writes an answer You get an answer keep it, or ask for changes more detail in, better answer out
The words

Six words you will hear everywhere.

We go through these and a few more in class. Each one, in one plain sentence.

AI
A computer program that can read and write like a person. It learned from a huge amount of writing.
Chatbot
An AI you talk to by typing, like ChatGPT or Claude. You ask, it answers.
Prompt
What you type to the AI. The clearer your prompt, the better the answer.
Model
The “brain” behind a chatbot. Different models are better at different jobs.
Hallucination
When the AI says something wrong but sounds sure. It is why you always check the answer.
Agent
An AI helper you set up once that does a task for you again and again. That is the October 23 workshop.
The hour

How the class runs.

Friday, October 9, 7 to 8 PM CT, live in the Taylormade Academy room. Open it on a laptop, tablet, or phone. A laptop makes it easier to try things along with me.

  1. 1 Words

    What AI is, and the words people use.

    No tech talk. Each word in plain English, with an everyday example.

  2. 2 Prompts

    How to ask so you get a good answer.

    I show you a simple way to write a prompt, then we fix a few weak ones together, live on screen.

  3. 3 Try it

    Your turn, plus questions.

    You write a prompt for something in your own life or business. Then I answer questions. In the last few minutes I tell you about the next step: the Build Your First AI Agent workshop on October 23. We end at 8 on the dot.

Why this one is free.

Nelson TaylorFounder, Taylormade Academy

The thing I hear most is “I think I'm too old to learn this.” You are not. Most people just never had someone explain it plainly.

So this first step is free. One hour, the words, and how to ask. If you like it, the Academy has more, and on October 23 I teach the next step: building your own AI agent.

Is it really free?

Yes. No card, no catch. You save a seat with your name and email.

How do I get in?

Your sign-up email has the room link. You sign in with a free Taylormade Academy account, using the same email. Making the account takes about a minute. You can do it now so you are ready.

What do I need?

A laptop, tablet, or phone with internet. A laptop is best if you want to try along with me. A free ChatGPT or Claude account helps, but you can just watch.

Do I need to know anything about AI?

No. This class is for beginners. We start from zero.

Will there be a replay?

The live class is free. The replay is for Academy members, at $15 a month. So come live if you can.
