I was already using AI regularly. Then I realised how much I still had to learn.

I'm Adam, and I don't come from a technical background. About two years ago I began experimenting with AI out of curiosity, without fully understanding what it could do.

My first useful project was a little client hub for another business. I had the idea but not the technical skills to build it the usual way. Working with AI to make it happen opened my eyes to what else might be possible.

I went on to build more complicated systems and use AI regularly in my work and personal life. It didn't replace my ideas or judgement. It helped me work through them and turn them into something useful.

But asking AI to do something and knowing whether it's done it well are very different things. I learnt that it could produce confident, polished answers that were still wrong. Despite being a heavy user, I realised there were fundamentals I hadn't understood.

I saw the same problem around me. Some people avoided AI because it seemed intimidating. Others trusted it too much, including capable professionals who simply hadn't been taught how to question it.

So I built a little course for myself with ChatGPT: fifteen minutes a day, reminders to keep going, and conversations rather than pages of text. I asked questions, challenged explanations and tried things out. I was surprised by how much I learnt from going back to basics.

Part of the reason this matters to me goes back much further. I remember the internet becoming a big thing when I was in my late teens and early twenties. At the time I didn't appreciate how dramatically it would change everyday life. I often felt a little left behind by it all. I didn't need to become a website developer or a technology entrepreneur. I just wish I'd understood a bit more about what was happening around me.

I see something similar with AI. It's already changing how people work, learn and solve problems. I don't think everyone needs to master it, build a business with it or let it into every corner of their lives. But I do think people deserve the chance to understand what it can offer, where it can go wrong and how to make their own informed choices.

That's why AI Fluency exists, and why I've tried to keep the price accessible. I wanted a structured learning experience that preserved the most useful part of my own education: being able to ask another question when something hadn't clicked. It's about feeling informed and capable, not chasing technical mastery.
