If You Can Text, You Can Use AI

No technical skills needed. No coding. Just typing what you want, like texting a smart assistant.

What You Already Do:

"Hey Siri, what's the weather?"

Using AI is The Same:

"Claude, write an email to my client about..."

That's it. That's AI. Everything else is just practice.

I'm Sean, BETA '91

I'm the Director of Public Sector AI Application Engineering at Microsoft, and I've been writing code for over 35 years. But here's the thing: you don't need any of that to use AI.

After Jaret's presentation during our 118th Anniversary Zoom call, I realized many Bros are really intimidated by AI. That's why I created this simple and free 4-week training plan.

I'm here to help. If you get stuck, confused, or frustrated - just hit me on Facebook or at the email below.

Inspiration

This learning path was created with love and fraternity, inspired by a Zoom call celebrating the
118th Anniversary of the Chartering of the Beta Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc.
on December 20th, 2025.

To my esteemed Brothers:
May this resource help you harness the power of AI to build stronger businesses, serve our communities more effectively, and continue our legacy of excellence.
