Practical AI for business
Apply AI to planning, marketing, operations, sales, and decision-making.
Start with the AI for business course. Over ten lessons it covers research and decision support, planning, marketing, sales and customer work, connectors and permissions, and how to match the depth of review to the consequence of the work. It ends with a 30-day plan naming owners, workflows and the signals that show it is working.
From there the role guides set up a small team of agents for one job, such as a finance close, a legal obligations sweep or a sales pipeline, and the marketing course covers five workflows from research to reporting.
