Learn AI in 30 days, a few minutes a night
Yes, you can understand how AI works in a month. This free plan takes you through all 42 AI in Bed lessons in order, about 11 minutes a night: the basics first, then how machine learning works, then large language models, RAG, agents and AI safety. Every seventh night is a short review.

Questions about learning AI in 30 days
Can you really learn AI in 30 days?
You can learn how AI works in 30 days: what machine learning is, how neural networks learn, how chatbots and large language models work, and how to use them well and safely. Becoming an engineer who builds models takes longer, but this is the right foundation.
How much time does the plan take each day?
About 11 minutes on a lesson night and ten minutes on a review night. Most nights are one or two short lessons you can read on your phone.
Do I need to know maths or coding?
No. The first two weeks need no maths or code at all. Later lessons use light maths and optional Python examples that run in your browser.
What if I miss a day?
Just pick up where you left off. The plan remembers which lessons you have finished in this browser, and the Continue button always takes you to the next one.
Is the 30-day AI plan free?
Yes. Every lesson, quiz and review night is free with no sign-up. Your progress is saved only in your own browser.
What should I learn after 30 days?
Pick a longer free course for your goal: Google's Machine Learning Crash Course for hands-on basics, fast.ai's Practical Deep Learning for building models, or the Hugging Face LLM Course for working with large language models.
