A free AI online course sounds straightforward - but most of them fall into the same trap: 8 hours of video, a quiz at the end, and no real output to show for it. At aidowith.me, the free tier of the Practical Prompts route gives you something different: 15 steps that end with a working prompt toolkit built around your real job, not a generic example. By step 7, you've written 5 prompts you can use at work today. By step 15, you have a complete toolkit with 15 tested prompts organized by use case. The free tier covers the first 3 steps without a payment decision. The full 15-step route runs at $0 with a free account. No video lectures. No passive watching. Each step is a decision or a prompt you write and test. Over 1,000 people have started the route on the free tier. Average time to complete: about 75 minutes. That's a free AI online course worth taking.

The Problem and the Fix
Without a route
- Free AI online courses run 6-15 hours and end with a quiz - not a single prompt you can use on your next task.
- Most free AI courses teach ChatGPT basics. You already know the basics. What you need is a tested system for your specific job.
- Paid AI courses cost $200-500 and often cover the same surface-level content as the free alternatives.

Questions
Yes. The Practical Prompts route is available at no cost with a free aidowith.me account. The free tier covers all 15 steps of the route. There's no paywall mid-route, no credit card required to start, and no expiring trial. The full prompt toolkit you build during the route is yours to export and keep. Pro features ($20/month) add the AI assistant at each step and access to the full route library - but the Practical Prompts free route is genuinely free.
Coursera and YouTube deliver content through video and reading - you consume and then apply on your own. aidowith.me routes are active: you write, test, and refine prompts at every step, in your real work context. You finish with 15 prompts that work for your specific job - not notes from a lecture. The route takes ~75 minutes. A Coursera AI course takes 10-20 hours.
A free aidowith.me account and a ChatGPT account (free tier works). That's it. No prior AI experience required. No software to install. You can start the Practical Prompts route in under 5 minutes from creating your account. The first step asks you to describe your job - everything after that is specific to how you answered.
