Frequently asked questions
Is this AI basics course free?
Yes. Every lesson in Mindket's Learn section is free to read, and the exercises need only a chat window.
Do I need to know how to code?
No. The course uses no code and no terminal, and every exercise happens in a chat window.
Which AI assistants does the course cover?
It uses Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini and Copilot as examples, with facts from each vendor's own pages. OpenAI's help center did not open when the sources were read, so the lessons cite OpenAI's developer docs and say what they leave out.
How long does the course take?
Each lesson takes about six to eight minutes to read, plus the time you spend on its exercises.
What comes after this course?
The Learn with AI course is next. It shows how to study with a model: study modes, tutor prompts, quizzes and flashcards, and language practice. The prompt engineering course follows it.
