Going Further: confidence and the big questions

The third level — Wednesday evening — is for when the basics feel comfortable and you're ready to go a little deeper. It's about building confident habits, and thinking clearly about the bigger picture. Don't let "Advanced" put you off; it's still calm, still patient, still hands-on.

Hour one — Building confident habits and workflows

Once you're comfortable with individual tasks, the next step is weaving AI naturally into your routine. We'll look at how to build small, repeatable "workflows" — for example, a reliable way to plan your week, keep on top of correspondence, or research a topic you care about.

We'll also explore going beyond typing: using your voice to talk to AI, working with documents and photos, and choosing which tool suits which job. The aim is fluency — reaching for AI as easily as you'd reach for a calculator, and only when it genuinely helps.

Hour two — Combining AI with the tools you already use

AI is at its most powerful when it works alongside the apps and devices you already own. In this hour we'll connect the dots — using AI with your email, your calendar, your phone, your documents, and your web browsing.

You'll see how a few simple combinations can quietly save you hours each week, without needing to become "technical." We keep it grounded in things you'd actually do, so nothing feels like homework.

Fluency isn't about knowing everything — it's about knowing what to reach for, and when.

Hour three — The big questions

We finish where a lot of people secretly want to begin: the big, human questions. Is AI conscious? (No — and we'll explain, clearly, why not.) Will it take people's jobs? Can we trust it? What are the real risks, as opposed to the science-fiction ones?

This is an open, honest, unhurried conversation. There's no doom and no hype — just clear thinking, so you can form your own well-grounded opinion and talk about AI with confidence at any dinner table.

By the end of Going Further, you won't just be able to use AI — you'll understand it well enough to think for yourself about where it's all heading. That, more than any single trick, is what real confidence looks like.
