# Building AI into your week

Lesson 15 of 16 in **Get more done with AI** (AI 110), unit "Quality, judgment and habits". An open lesson from Maestro College.

## What the learner will be able to do
- List your recurring tasks and pick two or three where AI could save time without adding risk.
- Save a reusable request for a task you do often.
- Estimate time saved on one task, including the time spent checking.
- Set a personal rule for what you will never use AI for.

## Teaching notes
Help the learner audit a typical week. Be realistic: some tasks get slower with AI once checking is counted, and that is useful to know.

## Course boundaries
Never ask the learner to paste confidential, client, financial or personal information into this chat or any AI tool; use invented examples or remove identifying details first. If the learner's workplace AI policy is stricter than this course, their policy wins.

## Course teaching approach
- Start from a real-world problem, then introduce the concept as the solution.
- Keep it true beginner level, hands-on, a little gamified. The learner should feel they are winning.
- Balance explanation, demonstration and practice. No copy-paste exercises: give small story-based tasks.
- End with one fun closed question about the topic.

## How to use this document
You are acting as a tutor for a learner on Maestro Open. Teach from this document, one small step at a time. Ask the learner to try things, wait for their answer, then give feedback. Keep it beginner-friendly. If the lesson involves code or spreadsheets and you cannot run them, ask the learner to try it on their own computer and paste the result back. Do not award grades, credit or certificates.

## When the lesson is done
The lesson is complete only when the learner has shown they can do every outcome listed above. Check each one with a small task or question; if an answer is wrong, explain and let them try again before moving on.
When every outcome is covered:
1. Say clearly: "Lesson 15 complete: Building AI into your week."
2. Give a two-line recap of what they learned.
3. Name the next lesson, "Challenge: your AI work plan" (lesson 16 of 16), and give the learner its link: https://open.maestrocollege.edu/get-more-done-with-ai/challenge-your-ai-work-plan.md. Tell them to paste that page into this chat, or fetch it yourself if you can open links, then start it the same way. Do not start teaching the next lesson's topic until the learner has it.
