AI for Business

Self-paced · No coding needed
Taught by Alex Grapov

IS THIS FOR YOU

This course is for you if…

01

Everyone says you should "use AI", but nobody has shown you how it works for your business.

You opened ChatGPT, tried a few times, felt that nothing useful came out, and moved on.

02

You have tried prompting and gotten inconsistent results

Sometimes it is great, sometimes it is generic — and you do not know why the output changes.

03

You want real hours back, not hype

Writing posts, scripts and follow-up messages eat your week. You want two or three of those tasks automated for good.

04

You lead a team and need a system, not another one-off

Not a coding class — a way to build workflows your team or group can actually follow, without you walking each person through it by hand.
WHAT YOU WILL WALK AWAY WITH

BY THE END OF THE COURSE, you will

01

Have your own prompt playbook, written around your real work — marketing, sales, operations or managing a team.

02

Have built your own AI assistant that knows your products, your tone and your rules, and answers like someone from your company.

03

Know how to check AI output for accuracy and risk before it reaches a client, a customer or goes into anything you publish.

04

Have finished a real project — one working AI setup for a task you do every week — and hold your UONE certificate of completion.

BEFORE YOU DECIDE

Why not just watch free videos?

Honestly — if you only need a few prompts now and then, you probably don't need this. Here is the real difference when you want to change how you work, not just try a tool once.

Free videos online
✕

Generic prompts, not built around your work

✕

Teaches the tool, rarely teaches when not to trust it

✕

You watch. You don't build anything

✕

Scattered across dozens of videos, in no clear order

✕

Nothing to show at the end

QUESTIONS

Frequently asked

I've never used AI before. Is this really for beginners?
+

Yes. The course assumes you know nothing about AI and starts from what these tools actually are. If you can write an email and use a browser, you have everything you need. No coding, no maths, no technical background.

Which tools will I use?
+

ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Microsoft Copilot and image tools like Midjourney. The free versions of these are enough to complete the course. You do not need to pay for any subscription to finish it.

Do I need to know how to code?
+

No. Nothing in the course requires writing code. Everything is done by typing instructions in plain language.

Can I use what I build with my company's tools?
+

Yes. The assistant you build in the course works with your own documents, your products and your tone of voice. If your company has strict IT rules about which tools you may use, check with them first — we show you what data should never go into a public AI tool.

How long does it take?
+

It's at your own pace. There's no schedule and no group to fall behind. Most lessons are short enough to watch between other things. Start on a Sunday, start in January, or stop for two weeks — nothing is lost.

How long do I keep access?
+

Access for as long as UONE Academy runs the platform — minimum 36 months guaranteed. Content updates are included for 12 months.

What do I get at the end?
+

Two things: a working AI setup you built for your own work, and a UONE Academy Certificate of Completion that records it. The project is the proof. The certificate is the paper that says so.

Can I watch on my phone?
+

Yes. Lessons are short and work on a phone, a tablet or a computer. Every lesson also has written notes you can keep.

What language is the course in?
+

English, Spanish, Hungarian, Japanese, Hindi and Bengali. Choose your language when you start — the lessons, the notes and the tasks are all translated.

Do I need a powerful computer?
+

No. Everything runs in a normal browser on a normal laptop.
