ChatGPT and Claude are the two big AI assistants. Learn what they do — then learn the #1 skill: writing prompts.
Think of it like this: ChatGPT and Claude are like the smartest study buddies alive, awake 24/7, who never get annoyed no matter how many times you ask. Your job isn't to know everything — it's to know how to ask.
The two big sidekicks
ChatGPT
Made by OpenAI. Super popular, great all-rounder for writing, ideas, and quick answers. Free version works great to start.
Claude
Made by Anthropic (that's who made this course!). Excellent at writing longer stuff, coding, and building websites. Great for our projects.
Honestly? Both are amazing. But here's what your mentor says 👇
💚 Mentor Ria says: Start with Claude — it's my go-to for building. Go to claude.ai and open a free account right now. It's free to start, and once you're leveling up, I'll show you when the paid version is worth it. 🚀
The prompt formula 🎯
A weak prompt gets a weak result. Use this formula and watch the difference:
ROLE + TASK + DETAILS + STYLE
"You are a web designer. Build me a one-page website for my sneaker cleaning service. Include a price list and a contact button. Make it look modern with black and neon green colors."
🛠️ Prompt Builder — try it!
Pick options and watch a real prompt build itself. Copy it into ChatGPT or Claude later.
How to iterate (make it better)
The first result is never the final one. You keep going:
"Make the header bigger." → "Add my phone number." → "Change the green to gold." → "Make it work on phones."
Every message improves it. That's iterating — and it's where the magic is.
Key takeaways 🧠
ChatGPT and Claude are both great — pick one and go.
Prompt formula: Role + Task + Details + Style.
Be specific. Vague prompt = vague result.
Keep iterating until it's exactly what you want.
