If you can type an email, you can use AI well. The hard part is knowing where to start.
Welcome to Vernal. We built this community for one reason: AI is the most useful working tool released in our lifetime, and almost no one was taught how to use it.
That gap is what we close.
Over the next thirty days, we will walk through the skills that make AI genuinely useful on a Tuesday afternoon when you have six tabs open and a deadline at four. We'll showcase practical skills you can apply to your next email, your next meeting, your next report.
We teach using Claude, made by Anthropic. We use it because it writes well, reasons carefully, and handles nuance better than most tools on the market. If you are already using ChatGPT, Gemini, or something else, most of what we cover will transfer. Where Claude has a specific strength or feature, we will point it out.
Here is what you can expect across the month:
Week one covers the foundations. What AI is, what it is not, and how to have your first useful conversation with it.
Week two covers writing and communication. Emails, reports, meeting notes, and tone.
Week three covers thinking and problem solving. Using AI as a research partner, a sounding board, and a second pair of eyes.
Week four covers workflows. How to build small systems that save hours a week.
There are two rules for this community.
First, ask questions. Every question is a good one. If something is unclear, someone else has the same question and is quieter about it.
Second, try things. Reading about AI teaches you nothing. Using it for twenty minutes teaches you more than any course.
What are you excited to use AI for in your life? Is there a particular issue you'd like to use AI to solve? Let us know in the comments, and we'll share any tips we think might help!
