An apprenticeship with an AI Instructor

Skills for an AI-first world.

Build practical skills for work and everyday life, whatever your background. From using AI confidently to learning programming, you learn by doing with an AI Instructor that asks questions, offers hints and reviews your work.

01 Why now

Work is changing.
Grow your role with it.

AI can help you draft a message, understand a document, explore data or write code. Using it well means deciding what to ask, checking the response and taking responsibility for the result. Those skills grow with practice.

How roles are changing

From doing every step to directing and verifying the work.

  • Doing every draft yourselfDirecting AI, then reviewing what it produced
  • Knowing the answerKnowing how to check the answer
  • Following the steps you were givenReading the evidence and deciding what to do
  • One narrow tool or taskBringing information, tools and judgment together

Why an AI Instructor

An expert beside you whenever you practice.

Apprentices learned beside someone experienced.Your AI Instructor brings that to every learner, at any hour.

Guidance when you are stuck

Help arrives at the moment you are stuck, at any hour, starting with the smallest hint that gets you moving.

Feedback on your own work

Draft a message, check an AI response, solve a problem or write code. Get feedback on your attempt and use it to improve.

Practice the skill your work now needs

Learning with an AI Instructor is itself practice in asking clearly, questioning a response, and checking it before you rely on it.

Why act now

The new baseline is being set today.

  1. Expectations are changing.As teams adopt AI tools, the skills needed at work change too. Practice helps you adapt.
  2. Judgment takes time.Checking information, weighing options and solving problems improve with practice.
  3. Small steps add up.One lesson at a time, at your pace, fits around the work you already do.

Start with everyday tasks

Use AI confidently at work.

Learn to ask clearly, check AI responses, work with documents and data, and communicate well. Start with everyday computer skills; no coding experience is needed.

AI at WorkCommunicationCritical thinking
Explore this path
  1. Give AI a clear task and check its response against evidence.
  2. Practice writing, translation, and working with documents and data.
  3. Protect sensitive information and improve a task from your own work.

Start with AI at Work in the AI for Professionals category. Build your own AI work playbook as you practice.

04 Learn. Practice. Apply.

Learn by doing.
Grow through feedback.

Try real tasks, get feedback from your AI Instructor, and build towards independent work. Use Study, Practice and Doubt Solver along the way.

The AI Instructor asks the learner to keep the original list unchanged; the learner asks for a guiding question, gets a hint, answers with prices.copy(), and the Instructor confirms why it works.

This illustration shows a programming lesson in the desktop app. Tasks vary by course. Guidance helps you practice; independent mastery comes from what you can do on your own.

Early preview

Install the dhimantAI desktop app, with Course Catalog, AI Instructor, Study, Doubt Solver and Practice included. These test builds connect to our preview service. Your computer may warn you before installing; that is expected for now. Learning features update automatically and activate when you next restart the app. Desktop app updates are manual: come back here for new versions.

What is the dhimantAI desktop app?

It is a learning workspace with Course Catalog, AI Instructor, Study, Practice and Doubt Solver. You can use it for courses such as AI at Work as well as programming and other technical subjects. The downloads on this page connect to our preview service.

How do I use the setup downloads?

Windows: Run the .exe as your normal user, then open dhimantAI. Ubuntu / Debian: Install the .deb with your software installer and open dhimantAI. The Linux archive is available for other compatible distributions. macOS: Open the .dmg and copy dhimantAI.app into Applications. Choose the download matching your processor. These are early previews: Windows packages are unsigned and macOS builds are not yet notarized, so your system may warn you or ask you to allow the app.

Can I start without coding experience?

Yes. AI at Work starts with everyday computer use and needs no coding or technical background. If you want to learn programming, Java Programming and C Programming start from the basics. Check each course's prerequisites to choose a starting point that suits you.

Are the courses free?

The website includes a preview of our course outlines. Some courses are free, and many paid courses offer a free first chapter. Access to a course lasts 60 days from when you join or buy it, free courses included; buy a paid course again to continue after that. Check the in-app catalog for current prices and bundles.

Do I need to install extra tools?

It depends on your course. AI at Work needs no programming tools or paid AI product. For coding courses, use the runtime menu in your learning workspace to check the setup. Course projects use a managed environment that prepares the required tools; follow any setup prompts in the app.

Will the AI Instructor just give me the answer?

The AI Instructor guides you with questions, hints and feedback so you can work through a task yourself. Depending on the course, Practice offers feedback on written work or checks your code against tests. The aim is to help you understand your choices and improve your next attempt.

What can I do in Study?

Read available course chapters, select a passage for an explanation, or ask for a chapter summary or quiz. On EPUB pages, Crop & explain lets you ask about a selected area, such as a diagram or worked example. The workspace preview above is a scripted illustration; AI help is available in the desktop app with an internet connection and course access.

Will double-clicking a VSIX install it?

A VSIX is an extension package, not a standalone installer. Use “Install from VSIX” inside the dhimantAI desktop app. For guided setup, use the platform-specific preview installer above instead.

Small steps. Real understanding.

Your next chapter at work starts with what you learn.
