About this course

Have you ever watched someone get exactly what they need from an AI tool while you struggle to get useful results? The difference isn't luck. It's knowing how to communicate with AI effectively. As AI becomes a key part of product design and development, the ability to craft clear, thoughtful prompts has become an essential skill that separates productive professionals from those who just dabble. This course explores the meeting point of human communication and machine intelligence, showing why some prompts produce brilliant insights while others fall flat.

Through practical exercises based on common product tasks, you'll learn to use AI across various workflows. The course covers writing and communication tasks, data organization and analysis, user research, and design documentation. You'll start with basic prompt structures and gradually move toward more complex multi-step processes. Each lesson helps you understand how AI interprets instructions and responds to different prompt styles. By recognizing these patterns, you'll develop consistent approaches that yield reliable results across different tools and situations.

Loved by learners from world’s top companies

Uxcel is my favorite way to learn and refresh design principles. Lessons are presented in short-form cards with a casual exam format, encouraging critical thinking before revealing context and evidence. The format makes it easy to learn in just 5 minutes a day, maintain a streak, and track progress. Plus, there’s a great community on Discord for support!
I was amazed when I used Uxcel for the first time. The traditional e-learning platforms are tedious and boring with too much redundant information.
Uxcel has helped me advance my career and increase my earnings by 20% annually since becoming a UX Writer. Every time I log in, I learn something new. It’s opened doors to companies I never thought possible two years ago. I look forward to each lesson and highly recommend it to designers at all levels.

FAQs

What is the AI Prompts Fundamentals course about?

This course is all about helping you talk to AI tools in a smarter, more effective way. You’ll learn how to write prompts that actually get you the results you want, whether you're brainstorming ideas, analyzing feedback, writing UX copy, or automating parts of your workflow. We’ll cover the basics of prompt engineering, show real examples of how it’s used in product and design work, and dig into advanced techniques that help you get reliable, high-quality responses every time. By the end, you’ll be able to use AI more confidently and creatively in your day-to-day work.


Why should I take the AI Prompts Fundamentals course?

AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and others are quickly becoming a part of the standard toolkit for designers, writers, researchers, and product folks. But the truth is that they’re only as good as the instructions you give them. This course will show you how to make the most of these tools: how to save time on repetitive tasks, how to get clearer answers faster, and how to go from rough idea to polished output in a fraction of the time. If you’ve ever felt frustrated by vague or off-topic responses from AI, this course will help fix that. Plus, once you know how to prompt well, you’ll start spotting new ways to use AI in your work that you might not have considered before.


What prior knowledge do I need before taking this course?

No specialized background is required. If you work in digital, whether that means writing emails, organizing spreadsheets, analyzing data, or tackling creative tasks, this course is for you. You just need a general comfort with digital tools and a curious mindset. Access to AI platforms like ChatGPT, Claude, or similar will be helpful for practicing, but you don’t need to be an expert. We’ll guide you through everything step by step.
