AI for Real Life

Practical AI for the mom life. Step-by-step, no tech degree required.
Five phases · twelve modules · fifty lessons.

Phase 1 · Free

Your First Win

Solve dinner tonight, get Claude on your phone, and walk away with prompts that actually work. Phase 1 runs on Claude's free plan.

Phase 1 · Start Here

Meet Your Sidekick (and Get Set Up)

Four short lessons to get you from zero to using Claude on your phone. Sign up, install the app and turn on voice mode, and have your first three genuinely useful conversations.

Phase 1 · Prompt Like a Pro

Prompting Like a Pro (Without the Jargon)

The simple formula that gets dramatically better answers out of Claude every time. Getting specific, the follow-up habit, and five save-forever templates you'll run every week.

Phase 2 · Pro starts here

Your Family Manager

Build a Cowork Project that knows your family, your voice, and your rules. The foundation for everything in Phases 3 and 4. From here on, you'll need Claude Pro.

Phase 2 · Family Manager

Build Your Family Manager

Six lessons that take you from Pro setup to a working Family Manager with reference files, custom instructions, and one real use to feel it working. The foundation that everything else in the course builds on.

Phase 3

Cowork Goes With You

Dispatch from your phone, brain-dump anywhere, schedule tasks that run on their own, and surface it all on a Family Dashboard. The phase where Cowork stops being a thing you sit at and starts being a thing that's with you.

Phase 3 · Cowork Goes With You

Talk to It From Anywhere

Four lessons that turn Cowork into something you use from the carpool line, the grocery store, the kitchen. Dispatch, the brain dump pattern (with Sunday Assembly), scheduled tasks, and your Family Dashboard.

Phase 4 · Choose-your-own

Aim It at Mom Life

Phase 4 is a menu. Seven self-contained modules. Pick the ones that solve your real problem first. Skip the rest, or come back later. Each module extends Family Manager (or builds its own Project) and optionally adds a block to your dashboard.

Phase 4 · Landing

Pick What Matters Most

Short framing lesson — how Phase 4's menu structure works, and which module is a good starting point if you're not sure where to begin.

Phase 4 · Module

Email & Calendar

Connect Gmail and Google Calendar. Set up the morning email brief that surfaces what needs you while you sleep. Draft replies in your voice. On-demand inbox triage. Today's calendar on your dashboard. A good place to start in Phase 4.

Phase 4 · Module

Meal Planning Deep Dive

Build your Pantry Inventory and meal-planning rules. The weekly plan with three variants (normal week, budget-first, pantry-clearing). Grocery list by aisle with a "what I probably already have" trim. Cowork drives Instacart or Walmart. Recipe rescues for when the plan breaks.

Phase 4 · Module

Kid Life & Learning

A Kid Project per kid (or one shared). Homework help at the kitchen table or from your phone. Build a full lesson on any topic. Interactive HTML learning artifacts your kid taps through. Worksheet generation. Chores and allowance.

Phase 4 · Module

Running the Household

A Home Operations Project for the house itself — appliances, paint colors, filters, contractors. The "appliance broke" workflow. Paperwork and PDFs filing. The Sunday Household Reset.

Phase 4 · Module

Money & Bills

A dedicated Money Command Center Project with privacy guardrails. The Monthly Money Scan that catches subscriptions you forgot about. Bills, renewals, and dispute drafting. The Sunday Money Reset.

Phase 4 · Module

Trips & Big Weeks

The temporary-Project pattern for events that change everything for a week or two. Trip planning with itineraries, packing lists, and the morning-of departure script. Holiday hosting menus, prep timelines, and day-of choreography. Debrief and archive when it's over.

Phase 4 · Module

The Just-In-Case Binder

The household binder for the things a trusted person would need to know if something happened to you tomorrow. Cowork builds the ten-section template; you fill the sensitive bits offline. The annual update + tell-one-person pattern that makes it real.

Phase 5

Make It Yours

The closer. How the system you built fits together, and how it gets more yours over time.

Phase 5 · The Closer

Make It Yours

A short closing lesson on the tuning habits that turn the course's defaults into a system that's actually yours: updating your Mom Profile, evolving Custom Instructions, and the annual review rhythm.

Bonuses

Bonus Resources

Reference pages, deeper-dive walkthroughs, and topic-specific guides. Bookmark whichever ones fit your life — they sit alongside the main course and are useful when the moment comes up.

Bonus · Personal reference

Your Mom Profile

A deeper walkthrough of the Mom Profile reference file — what to include, what to leave out, and how to evolve it over time.

Bonus · Reference

The Quick Reference Cheat Sheet

Every recurring prompt, command, and pattern from the course in one place. Bookmark and pull up when you need the right phrasing fast.

Bonus · Maintenance

Project Tune-Up

When your Projects start to feel cluttered or out of date, this is the walkthrough for cleaning them up — what to keep, what to archive, what to merge.

Bonus · Reference

Dashboard Reference

A deeper look at the Family Dashboard — every block type, what feeds it, common customizations, and troubleshooting when something stops updating.

Bonus · Advanced

Going Deeper — Advanced Moves

Once you're comfortable with the core system, this is where the advanced patterns live — cross-Project queries, sub-agents, more complex scheduled tasks, deeper artifact work.

Bonus · Voice tuning

Voice & Tone Tuning

A practical guide to getting Cowork to talk to you the way you want — past the defaults, into something that actually matches your voice and the way you want to be addressed.

Bonus · Email power users

Inbox Power Users

For moms who live in their inbox more than most — heavier-duty patterns for batch-drafting, label-based filtering, and turning the inbox into a working surface rather than a pile.

Bonus · Meal planning

Special Weeks Meals

Meal planning for weeks that aren't normal — back-to-school week, the week of a new baby, post-surgery recovery, holiday weeks where the rhythm is off. Different shapes for different weeks.

Bonus · Kid food

The Lunchbox Library

School lunches without the daily decision tax — a library of kid-tested patterns, themed rotations, and the "I have these five things" rescue prompts for when the lunchbox needs to happen in five minutes.

Bonus · Safety reference

Cowork Safety FAQ

Plain-English answers to "what can Cowork actually see, do, and not do." Permissions, privacy, what stays on your computer, and the safety practices worth knowing.

Bonus · Capability map

What Else Cowork Can Do

A capabilities map for everything Cowork can do that the course didn't cover — file organization, receipt-to-spreadsheet, long-PDF summaries, form-filling, batch-draft replies, cross-app workflows. Bookmark for new tasks.

Bonus · Creative

Family Creativity & Images

When the deliverable is a picture instead of a paragraph — birthday invitations, coloring pages, family vision boards, thank-you-card art, photo-book covers. Image-prompt patterns and the end-to-end walkthroughs.

Bonus · Household

Appliances, Repairs & School Forms

Two specialty toolkits that live in Home Operations. The appliance repair pattern (manual-search, service-message templates, the Home History log). The school-forms / HOA / landlord admin-reply pattern with five saved templates.

Bonus · Annual

Tax Season Prep

The annual rhythm for tax-season prep — what to gather, what Cowork can help with, what stays with your accountant, and the way to organize so next year is easier.

Bonus · When life is hard

When Life Goes Sideways

Doer-shaped patterns for the weeks when something hard happens — illness, loss, an unexpected crisis. Cowork can't fix the hard thing, but it can keep the background logistics from falling apart while you handle it.

Bonus · Setup

Apple Calendar Bridge

The full walkthrough for moms who live in Apple Calendar — publishing your iCloud calendar as a URL, the webcal-to-https swap, and subscribing from Google Calendar so Cowork can read it.
