🤖 30 Days of AI — Day 7

Want to Learn Something New? Let AI Be Your Personal Tutor

One Job. One Day. Useful AI.

Learning something new sounds exciting—until you actually sit down to learn it.

Maybe you want to understand Excel, improve your English, learn photography, prepare for an interview, understand investing, learn coding, or simply understand a topic you've always found confusing.

You search online and suddenly you're looking at 20 videos, 10 articles and several courses.

Where do you begin?

This is where AI can be useful.

AI Can Explain Things Your Way

One of the most useful things about AI is that you can ask it to explain something at your level.

For example, instead of searching:

“What is blockchain?”

you could ask:

“Explain blockchain to me like I'm completely new to the topic. Use a simple real-life example and avoid technical terms.”

Didn't understand it?

Ask again:

“That's still complicated. Explain it using an example from everyday life.”

Want to go deeper?

“Now explain the same topic at an intermediate level and give me three examples.”

You can keep the conversation going until the topic starts making sense.

🎓 Think of AI as a Tutor, Not a Textbook

A textbook gives you information.

A video gives you information.

But with AI, you can ask questions back and forth.

You can say:

“I don't understand this part.”

“Give me another example.”

“Test me on what I just learned.”

“Explain my mistake.”

That makes learning feel much more interactive.

What Can You Learn With AI?

Almost anything that can be explained, practiced or discussed.

For example:

  • Excel and other software
  • Languages
  • Coding
  • Writing
  • Interview preparation
  • General knowledge
  • School and college subjects
  • Business concepts
  • Photography
  • Communication skills
  • Personal finance basics
  • New hobbies

You don't necessarily need to become an expert.

Sometimes you simply want someone to explain one confusing thing.

🧠 Try This Learning Prompt

Instead of asking AI to simply explain a topic, give it a role.

Try:

“Act as my beginner-friendly tutor. I want to learn Excel. Start by asking me what I already know, then create a simple 7-day learning plan. Teach me one concept at a time and give me a small exercise after each lesson.”

Now you're not just asking a question.

You're creating a learning conversation.

Want to Test Yourself?

This is one feature I really like about using AI for learning.

After learning something, ask:

“Give me 5 questions about what I just learned. Ask them one at a time and don't show me the answers until I respond.”

Now AI can become your practice partner.

If you get something wrong, you can ask:

“Explain why my answer is wrong without making me feel like I'm back in school.” 😄

Learning becomes a conversation rather than simply reading information.

Which AI Tool Can You Use?

You don't necessarily need a special "AI tutor" app.

General-purpose AI tools can already help with learning.

What you want

Tool to consider

Interactive learning and explanations

ChatGPT

Learning with the Google ecosystem

Gemini

Working with your own study material

NotebookLM

Research and understanding different sources

Perplexity

Again, don't subscribe to everything.

Try the tools you already have first.

📚 What If You Have Your Own Study Material?

This is where tools such as NotebookLM can become particularly useful.

Imagine you have:

  • A PDF
  • Class notes
  • A training document
  • A user manual
  • A research paper

Instead of asking general questions on the internet, you can work with your own material and ask questions about it.

For example:

“Summarize this document in simple language and give me the five most important things I should remember.”

Or:

“Create 10 questions from these notes so I can test myself.”

This can be much more useful than simply reading the same document again and again.

⚠️ But Don't Believe Everything AI Teaches You

There's an important catch.

AI can explain things very well—and still occasionally give you information that is incorrect or incomplete.

For everyday learning, that's usually manageable.

But be more careful when learning about:

Medicine, investments, law, safety, or other topics where a mistake can have serious consequences.

Use AI to understand the basics, but verify important information with reliable sources or qualified professionals.

💰 FaydaFirst Tip

Before buying an expensive online course, try something simple.

Take the topic you're interested in and ask AI to create a beginner-friendly learning plan.

Then spend a few days actually following it.

You may discover that you only needed some guidance—not another course subscription.

And if you later decide you need a structured course or expert instruction, you'll have a much better idea of what you actually need to learn.

💡 FaydaFirst Verdict

AI won't magically make you an expert.

But it can make learning less intimidating and more personal.

You can ask questions without feeling embarrassed.

You can ask the same thing five different ways.

You can learn at your own pace.

And you can practise immediately.

The best part? You don't have to wait for someone else to explain it to you.

Just start asking.
