Discover AI in everyday life – beginner’s course

Artificial Intelligence is no longer a thing of the future. Voice assistants help with vacation planning, image generators create illustrations at the push of a button, and automated systems organize our workday. Many people already use these technologies without knowing the technical terms. This course demystifies Making AI accessible for everyone and shows how to use it in everyday life.

Make AI tangible

Instead of confusing you with technical terms, we’ll start with familiar scenarios:

• text assistantsAI models like ChatGPT draft emails, newsletters, or social media posts in seconds and help with brainstorming.
• Learning and research assistantAnyone with questions about recipes, travel, or specialist topics gets detailed, easy-to-understand answers to natural questions.
• Automatic summariesLong reports, contracts, or training materials can be summarized by AI and transformed into clear bullet points, simplifying your workday.
• image generators and graphic toolsGenerative image models create illustrations, mood boards, or advertising graphics based on short descriptions.
• Translations and language assistance: Modern models translate texts and content almost in real-time – helpful for emails, travel documents or international communication.
• Small AI models on your smartphone: Thanks to compact, specialized models, many AI functions can run locally on mobile devices, such as fitness analyses or speech translation.

These applications demonstrate that AI isn’t just for developers—it’s already enriching our daily lives.

What to expect in this course

No programming knowledge is required for this course. It will guide you step by step into modern AI, from your first dialogue to process automation. The following topics are planned:

1. Introduction to Generative AI – How do text and image generators work? What are their strengths and limitations?
2. Practical applications of chat assistants – write emails, conduct research, create daily plans and manage to-do lists.
3. Automatic summaries and analyses – summarize or analyze documents, e-books, and websites
4. Prompt Design – Achieving better results with the right questions and instructions.
5. Visual creativity – generate and edit images, design simple 3D objects; optional: insights into tools like Blender.
6. Workflow automation – Automate routine tasks with graphical workflow tools (e.g., AI-flow).
7. Translation and Multilingualism – Translate texts and get AI support for language learning.
8. Integration into everyday life – using AI apps on your smartphone, deploying browser add-ons, and tips for data-efficient use
9. Responsible AI usage – Understanding bias, hallucinations, and ethical guidelines.
10. On-device AI usage (optional) – How to use local models for offline creativity or data protection.

Advanced users can additionally gain insights into topics such as code generation, web design support, SEO or even in the use of AI in microcontrollers and electronics – these areas are offered as supplements and are not prerequisites for the course.
