1️⃣ Getting started: The real problem
You want to understand AI.
Not just buzzwords - but really know how you can use it in your company.
So you start:
- a YouTube video here
- a podcast there
- an online course halfway through
- a few LinkedIn posts in between
Four weeks later, you have consumed a lot - but no structured knowledge.
The problem is not a lack of information.
The problem is a lack of structure.
2️⃣ Why the problem remains
Most people interested in AI make three typical mistakes:
1. tool hopping instead of learning strategy
ChatGPT today, Gemini tomorrow, Midjourney the day after tomorrow - without a common thread.
2. no target image
Do you want to become a user? Decision-maker? Technical implementer?
No meaningful learning plan without clarity.
3. theory without application
You don't learn AI by reading.
AI is learned by doing.
The good news:
You can use AI yourself to create a structured learning plan - tailored to your goal.
3️⃣ The concrete solution: The 4-week AI learning framework
I call it this:
🧭 AI Foundation Sprint (4 weeks)
Week 1 - Understanding the basics
What is AI? What is machine learning? What are LLMs?
How do ChatGPT & Gemini work in principle?
Week 2 - Practical application
Writing prompts
Building workflows
Automate everyday processes
Week 3 - Thinking AI in the company
Identify use cases
Define quick wins
Understanding risks & limits
Week 4 - Deploy strategically
Implement mini-project
Building an AI workflow
Test automation
Reflection & scaling
And now comes the crucial point:
You have AI work out this plan for you individually.
4️⃣ How to create your individual 4-week plan with KI
Step 1: Define your goal
Before you write a prompt, answer the following questions for yourself:
- Am I a beginner or do I have previous experience?
- Do I want to use AI privately or for business?
- Do I have 30 minutes or 2 hours a day?
- Do I want to get started technically or strategically?
Without this clarity, the plan remains generic.
5️⃣ Example prompts for ChatGPT (OpenAI)
🎯 Prompt 1 - Create a learning plan
Create a structured 4-week learning plan for me to learn the basics of AI in a practice-oriented way.
Framework conditions:
- I am [beginner / advanced].
- I have about [X] minutes per day.
- My goal is to be able to use AI in a business context.
- I would like to combine theory and practice.
Please structure each week with:
- learning objectives
- concrete tasks
- practical exercises with ChatGPT
- reflection questions
- one mini-project per week
🎯 Prompt 2 - concretize the weekly plan
Consolidate week 2 of my AI learning plan.
Give me:
- 5 concrete prompt exercises
- 3 typical mistakes when using LLMs
- a practical challenge that I can test in my day-to-day work
🎯 Prompt 3 - Transfer to the company
Help me to apply my newly acquired AI knowledge in my company.
Industry: [insert industry]
Company size: [e.g. 25 employees]
Identify:
- 10 possible AI quick wins
- 3 strategic fields of application
- one pilot area for the next 30 days
6️⃣ Example prompts for Google Gemini
Gemini is particularly suitable for structured summaries, web research and document integration.
🎯 Prompt 1 - Integrate learning resources
Create a 4-week plan for me to learn the basics of AI.
Please integrate:
- freely available online resources
- concrete practical exercises with generative AI
- reflection questions
- one final assignment per week
I have about 45 minutes per day and would like to use AI strategically in the company.
🎯 Prompt 2 - Document-based learning structure
If you already have materials:
I'll upload several articles and PDFs for you.
Create from them:
- a structured 4-week learning plan
- daily learning tasks
- comprehension questions
- Practice exercises with ChatGPT or Gemini
🎯 Prompt 3 - Reflect on learning progress
I have completed week 1 of my AI learning plan.
Here are my notes:
[insert notes]
Please:
- assess my understanding
- identify gaps in my knowledge
- adapt week 2 accordingly
This is how AI becomes your personal learning coach.
7️⃣ Practical example: Medium-sized consulting company
Before:
A 15-strong consulting team is interested in AI.
Everyone tries out tools.
No structure.
No common language.
Implementation:
The management uses ChatGPT to create a 4-week team learning plan.
- Week 1: Common basics
- Week 2: Team prompt workshop
- Week 3: Identification of internal use cases
- Week 4: Pilot project "AI-supported offer preparation"
After:
- 30% faster quotation preparation
- Standardized prompts
- One internal AI manager
- Clearly defined rollout plan
From "AI is interesting" to "AI actually saves time"
8️⃣ Steps that can be implemented immediately
If you start today:
- Define your clear learning goal.
- Block 30-60 minutes a day for 4 weeks.
- Use one of the above prompts.
- Implement one mini-project each week.
- Document your findings.
- Identify your first real AI use case after week 4.
Important:
Do not consume. Apply.
9️⃣ Strategic classification
If you don't learn AI in a structured way:
- you remain a tool user instead of a designer
- you delegate strategic competence to the outside
- you lose speed in the market
Companies that learn AI systematically develop
- internal process understanding
- Automation competence
- Agent thinking
- Scalable knowledge models
AI is not a tool issue.
It is a competence topic.
And expertise is developed through structured application.
