MERIDIAN CLASSROOM / FREE AI TRAINING
Learn AI.
Use it with confidence.
Start with one useful conversation. Build the skills to write better prompts, check the answers, and put AI to work in your day.
Free. No Classroom account. No coding experience needed.
Make it useful
Practice on an email, a plan, or a set of notes. Use follow-up questions to improve the result.
Keep your judgment
Check claims, protect private information, and decide what needs a human review.
A CLEAR PATH FORWARD
Start simple.
Go deeper when you’re ready.
The beginner lesson gets you using AI right away. Then the five-section course explains how it works through visual lessons, practice labs, and short quizzes.
Your first useful AI conversation
Four practical habits · a prompt worksheet · three quick checks · about 15 minutes
- 01~37 min
How AI Works
Build intuition for what's under the hood — how a model predicts, decides, learns, and where it goes wrong.
- 02~20 min
Prompting AI
The core skill of using AI well — write, test, and refine prompts, then check whether the result meets your needs.
- 03~17 min
Building with AI
Go from a prompt to a working AI agent — composed from parts, wired together, and run.
- 04~37 min
Governing & Securing AI
Make AI reliable, honest, and hard to abuse — guardrails, grounding, and defense against attacks.
- 05~10 min
AI in the real world
After you ship: how a program sees whether the work is actually helping people — and why governance does not turn off at deploy time.
LEARNING THAT STICKS

Classroom labs use simulations so you can practice for free. The beginner lesson shows you how to take the same skills into an AI assistant of your choice.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
A few good questions.
Do I need an AI subscription?
No subscription is needed for the Classroom lessons and simulations. To try your prompt in another AI service, follow that service’s sign-in requirements and available plan. You can finish the guided examples here without leaving.
Is this for beginners or developers?
Start with AI basics if you are new. It covers everyday tasks in plain language. The full course goes further into models, building agents, and safeguards, with concepts explained through interactive examples.
What should I practice with?
Use the fictional examples provided here, or a task with information you are allowed to share. Keep passwords, private customer records, and confidential work documents out of practice prompts.
Why do some advanced lessons use benefits examples?
They illustrate how accuracy and fairness affect people. They are teaching scenarios, not tools for determining anyone’s eligibility. The same checking habits apply to everyday business work.
