Learning to Work with AI

🌐 Languages: English Français

The difference between someone who uses Cowork for 5 minutes a day and someone who saves 3 hours of work per week isn’t the tool. It’s how they use it.

This section is for those who want to progress, not just “use” it.

Contents

File Topic For whom
learning-with-ai.md Understanding how to learn with Cowork, identifying your profile, 30-day plan Any profile, just starting out
building-prompting-skills.md CTOC progression: from “copy-paste” to “writing your own prompts” After 2-3 weeks of use
measuring-progress.md Concrete measurement of gains, keeping motivation, adjusting After 1 month of use

Where to Start?

I’m just starting out: read learning-with-ai.md. It gives you the mental framework and a structured plan.

I’ve been using Cowork for a few weeks but I’m stalling: go directly to building-prompting-skills.md. The problem is likely that you’re copying prompts without adapting them.

I want to know if I’ve progressed: measuring-progress.md gives a simple template for tracking time saved.

What “Progressing” Means Concretely

In week 1, you copy prompts from this guide and just change the file paths.

In week 3, you adapt prompts to your context without looking at the guide.

In month 2, you write your own CTOC prompts from a blank page, for tasks that this guide hasn’t covered.

In month 3+, you train your team and document the prompts that work for your business.

That’s progression. Not “I learned to code” — “I learned to delegate intelligently.”
