Get Better at Prompting and Reviewing AI Responses

Employees are using AI tools to create low-effort, passable looking work that ends up creating more work for their coworkers. We define AI workslop as AI generated work content that masquerades as good work, but lacks the substance to meaningfully advance a given task. Of 1,150 U.S. based full-time employees across industries, 40% report having received AI workslop in the last month. It occurs mostly between peers, but 18% of workslop is also sent to managers by direct reports, and 16% of AI workslop comes from managers to their teams, or even from higher up than that. Harvard Business Review, AI-Generated “Workslop” Is Destroying Productivity Take this course to make sure your AI work isn't workslop. You'll learn how define and refine prompts that create quality outputs in your daily work. This is an intermediate AI course, designed for people who use AI regularly at work but need help improving the quality and consistency of their AI responses. This course skips basic prompting tips (because you've learned that already) and shows you how to write stronger prompts and fix what's not working to get quality AI responses you can actually use at work. You’ll learn how to: Follow an easy prompt workflow: A simple workflow: Define → Prompt → Evaluate → Iterate Evaluate which factors create quality AI outputs (hint: it's not just writing prompts!) Define the jobs to be done/work tasks so AI understands what you actually need Add different prompt techniques and levels to prompt building blocks to get responses are structured and usable Evaluate AI responses instead of guessing if they’re “good” Spot and navigate hallucinations Iterate to improve responses instead of starting over Use AI to help you write better prompts faster, build reusable prompts, prompt libraries for your job Practical ways to apply this to real work tasks At the end this course, you'll also get a personalized snapshot of where your AI skills stand and suggestions to move forward. The goal of this course is to get you from “this is kind of helpful” to “this is actually usable.”

Nicolle Merrill AI Literacy Skill Instructor When I first learned about AI, I was completely lost. It was 2017 and everything was made for engineers and data scientists. I was not either of those things and all the content was boring, jargon-filled, and mostly not useful. I swore that if I ever learned AI well enough to teach it to people, I'd make it far more interesting. So here we are! I spent 8 years building enterprise AI products in HR, FinTech, and DevOps, where I worked as a conversational AI designer and later, a prompt engineer. Then I decided to launch my own training firm, Boring AI, specifically for teaching AI skills to non-technical learners. Since 2022, I've taught over 25,000 people across 20+ countries. My goal is to help you learn AI without needing a technical background or boring you to death. My teaching style is hands-on, beginner-friendly, and most importantly jargon-free. My training focuses on real-world practice rather than theory so you can quickly apply what you learn. You're not going to get the history of ML or transformers. I'm not going to give you the hype either. Instead, I'll teach you the applied AI skills and approaches that keep you up-to-date in a rapidly changing workplace. Best of all, you're not getting the same generated content you'd get from an LLM. You can use AI to learn about AI, but sometimes you need a human to make sense of it all. So all of my courses are designed from questions asked by employees like you about generative AI. That means each lesson contains answers about using AI at work that are relevant for your job right now. Outside of Udemy courses, I work with mid-size companies to build AI upskilling programs for non-technical teams and run work redesign sprints. I'm also professor at Porto Business School where I teach executives in digital transformation and generative AI product development to MBA students. Before working in AI, I was as a career coach at Yale School of Management. I wrote a book on upskilling for an AI-driven workplace, called Punch Doubt in the Face: How to Upskill, Change Careers, and Beat the Robots. As a result, I'm always thinking about to teach you the most relevant AI skills that prepare you to navigate a changing workplace and career.
