OOMU Academy · Free courses

AI isn't magic.It's a skill.

Short, free courses that teach you to use AI for real work, starting from zero. No jargon. No tech background. Just you, a web browser, and about 30 minutes.

Most people have never been shown how to use AI.

Not the hype. The how: what to type, where to click, and how to tell when it's wrong. That's what we teach.

How it works

Learn by doing one real task.

01

Pick a task

Each course is one real job, at work, at home, or just for fun, like checking a proposal or planning a trivia night.

02

Do it with free AI

Copy, paste, send. Real screenshots show you every click, so you're never guessing where to go next.

03

Check its work

AI is fast, but it gets things wrong and makes things up. You'll learn to catch it before it costs you.

The one pattern

Four steps. Every course. Every task.

  1. Give it the factsWhat you know, in plain words.
  2. Tell it the jobCompare, fix, sort, or write.
  3. Say what to avoid"Use only these facts. Don't guess."
  4. Check its answerAlways, yourself. This is the part that matters.

Learn it once and it works with Gemini, ChatGPT, Claude, or whatever comes next.

Lesson 1, minute 3

This is what three minutes looks like.

You paste two sentences into Gemini. It finds both mistakes in the draft. Then you check it yourself, because AI drafts and you check.

Not a video of someone else using AI. You, doing it, in your first three minutes.

Gemini's answer to the first lesson: the draft lists 20 chairs but the customer asked for 24, and the draft says Wednesday but the event is on Tuesday.
A real answer from Gemini, from Lesson 1 of our first course.

Questions

Good questions.

Is it really free?

Yes. The courses, practice files, and certificates are free. No credit card.

Do I need to pay for AI?

No. Every course uses free AI tools that work in your web browser. Each course shows you which one to use and how to get started.

I'm not a tech person. Is this for me?

Yes. That's exactly who it's for. If you can copy and paste, you can do this.

Which AI tools will I use?

Free ones you can open in a web browser, like Google Gemini or ChatGPT. Each course tells you which one to use, and what you learn carries over to the others.

Is it safe to paste my work into AI?

The courses use made-up practice examples, so there's nothing private to worry about. For your real work, only paste what your business allows you to share. Each course shows you how.

Is the certificate accredited?

No. It shows you completed an OOMU Academy course. It isn't academic credit.

Can my team take it?

Yes. Everyone can sign up on their own. For group training, email support@oomu.io.
