Level 2 opens once Level 1 is complete — every step of it. If you have not done Level 1 yet, start there: it takes about half an hour and it is free.
Prove the tool earns its place.
Two practical exercises on work you actually do, each submitted with the full evidence — the prompt you wrote, what came back, what you changed and what it saved you. This is where an impression becomes something you can show someone.

"It's quite good, actually" is not evidence.
Most people who have used an AI tool for a few months have an impression of it and nothing more. Ask them whether it is worth the licence, or which parts of their job it genuinely helps with, and the honest answer is a shrug.
That is a problem when someone has to decide whether to pay for it, when a colleague asks if it is any good, or when you are quietly wondering whether the time you spend prompting is time you actually saved.
Level 2 replaces the impression with a record: two real tasks, worked properly, with everything written down.
After Level 2 you can
- Set a success bar before you use a tool, instead of deciding afterwards that whatever came out was fine
- Show a complete workflow — original input, prompt, raw output, your edited version — not just a polished result
- Name where the tool helped, where it failed and where it needed correcting, with the work to back it up
- Estimate honestly what it saved you against doing the task by hand
- Say whether this tool is worth validating further for your team, and point at why

How Level 2 works
What gets generated for you, what you have to hand in, and the five things every submission is checked against.

Your practice exercises
The two universal templates, run against your own work: does this tool actually help, and can you show a workflow someone else would trust?
This level is for you if
- You have finished Level 1
- You use an AI tool sometimes but could not defend it if challenged
- Someone has asked you whether it is worth buying, and you want a real answer
- You want the habit of checking the output rather than trusting the first draft
What makes this level different
Two checks that work on any tool
A capability probe and a responsible-workflow audit — the two exercises in the source curriculum that apply to almost every tool in a 172-tool catalogue. Whatever you picked in Level 1, these two apply to it.
Evidence, in five named parts
Prompt, output, edits, reflection, time saved. Every step asks for them by name, so nothing important gets left out because you were in a hurry.
You know the checks up front
Relevance, authenticity, substance, work context and responsible use. They are on the page before you write anything, not applied to you afterwards.
Questions before you start
Why do I have to finish Level 1 first?
Because Level 2 assumes you have a working AI account you are allowed to use, and a recurring task already picked out — both of which Level 1 sets up. It also assumes you know what the five verification checks are. Starting here without that means guessing at the setup rather than doing the work.
Which AI tool do I need?
One that you are actually allowed to use at work. Any general assistant works — ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Microsoft 365 Copilot. If your employer has an approved list, that list wins over anything we suggest, and the level walks you through checking your plan and your permissions before you start.
What if the tool does badly on my task?
Then you have a real finding, and it counts. A submission with no limitations in it has not tested anything — the exercises explicitly ask where the tool failed or needed correcting.
Is my work reviewed by a coach?
No — nothing here waits on anybody. Every step counts the moment you finish it, against criteria the lesson gives you in the step itself, so you always know what you are aiming at.
Can I use a fictional task instead of my real work?
You can, but it defeats the point and it will show. Work context is one of the five things a submission is checked against, and the whole level exists to tell you whether AI helps with your actual job.
Is it really free?
Yes, completely. Create an account, start the track and work through it. There is no card, no trial and no upsell at the end.
