Free AI course every business owner needs

Anthropic just released a free course built specifically for small business owners, and it is worth an afternoon.

Most AI content is aimed at developers or assumes you already know what to do. This one starts from the business problem.

It covers four skills: knowing which tasks to hand to AI and which to keep, writing instructions clear enough that AI does what you mean, reading output critically enough to know when it is right, and building the habit of checking the work.

The fourth matters most. Most people accept the first AI output without checking it, and that is where errors get through. The course treats checking as a skill to practise rather than advice to nod at once.

By the end, you have a repeatable process for using AI in your working day.

I have not seen another free resource aimed at this audience that covers the mental model this clearly.

Go to anthropic.com and look for the small business AI course.
