AI 101 · the free beginner's guide

Everyone's talking about AI. You're just nodding along.

You keep hearing ChatGPT, Claude, prompts and agents, and you don't even know where to start. Nobody explains it like a normal person, so you scroll past and feel a little more behind every week.

AI 101, the free beginner's guide by Amanda Monger, with the cover and the 45 ideas map
Sound familiar?

If you said yes to even one, keep reading.

Here's the hard part

Every week you wait, the gap gets bigger.

Other people are answering emails in two minutes, planning a whole week of dinners while they drink their coffee, and getting their small business questions answered at midnight.

And you're still doing all of it the long way, by hand, because nobody ever showed you the first step.

You're not behind because you're not smart. Nobody explained it in plain words.
The good news

You don't need to be techy. You need it explained like a friend would.

AI 101 is the free guide I wish someone had handed me: what AI is, what all the words mean, and the huge list of things it can do for you, in plain English.

Finally get what everyone's talking about

The one-minute version of what AI is (and what it isn't), so it stops feeling like a secret club.

Know every word you keep hearing

30+ AI words, one easy sentence each. Prompt, model, agent, vibe coding, all of it.

Find 3 things AI can take off your plate

A full-page map of 45 real ideas across nine parts of your life. Circle three.

I'm Amanda Monger. I went from "what is Claude?" to running my websites and Instagram pages with AI, and this is the guide I wish I'd had on day one.

Questions

Good to know

Is it really free?

Yes, totally free! Pop in your email and the guide is yours right away.

Do I need to be techy?

Nope! If you can send a text, you can do everything in this guide.

Which AI app do I need?

Just one, and it's free to start. Claude or ChatGPT are the easiest. I use Claude for everything, and the guide shows you how to get it on your phone or computer.

Yes! Everything in the five-day plan works on your phone.

What happens after I sign up?

You get the guide right away, plus a few emails from me with what to try next. You can unsubscribe anytime.

Is this made by Anthropic or OpenAI?

No. This is my own guide, written from learning AI myself. I'm not affiliated with Anthropic or OpenAI.

What comes after AI 101?

When you're ready to have Claude build real things for you, like a website or a digital product, the next step is The Claude Code Setup Guide.
