She reacts to every answer, and she dives with you from the Shallows to The Deep. "A little inked, a lot smarter. The stain washes off in review." ### Sydney inks your wrong answers Getting inked is fun, not failure. She shows the answer, says why in 1 line, and the question comes back later. "Not quite. You got inked." ### Sydney cheers when you win Finish a lesson and she pops up behind the clam. Keep your streak going and she is there for that too. "Not one ink spot. Show-off." ## A lesson takes 3 minutes Each one teaches 1 idea, tests it with 6 to 8 quick questions and ends with a prompt you write yourself. ### Learn 1 idea A short card gives you the word or the rule before any question tests it. **New word:** Large language model (LLM) The AI inside chatbots like Claude and ChatGPT. It learned how words tend to follow each other from a huge amount of text, a step called training. ### Play 6 to 8 quick questions Scenarios match your job: finance, marketing, HR, operations or general. The kinds of question: - Fact or myth - Pick one - Better prompt - Spot the error - Match the pairs - Put in order ### Write a real prompt Every lesson ends with a prompt for a work task, checked against a short checklist. **Write the prompt:** A workshop you run for a customer moves 1 week later because the trainer is ill. You want them to keep the booking. Ask Claude for the email. Draft an email to a customer whose workshop moves 1 week later because the trainer is ill. The goal is to keep their booking. Apologize, use \[confirmed new dates\] for 2 options, and do not invent availability. - Says what to write - Says who will read it - Preserves supplied facts - Says what it must do ## Get one wrong and you get inked There is no red cross in Inkly. A wrong answer gets a splat of ink, the right answer in plain words, and another go later in the lesson. This question is from lesson 1, How AI writes. Pick an answer, then press Check. **Pick one:** A chatbot writes a 200-word email for you. About how many times did it choose what comes next? - Just 1 time, for the email as a whole - Around 10 times, once for each sentence - Hundreds of times, once per small piece Not quite. You got inked Answer: Hundreds of times, once per small piece It builds a reply 1 small piece at a time, each time predicting a likely next piece. Each piece is called a token. Not quite. You got inked. The answer is: Hundreds of times, once per small piece. It builds a reply 1 small piece at a time, each time predicting a likely next piece. Correct. Squid-level smart. It builds a reply 1 small piece at a time, each time predicting a likely next piece. ## Catch what AI gets wrong An AI reply can read well and still have a detail wrong. Inkly gives you the habit of checking: you mark the line that does not match the source, with a highlighter. Pick 1 line, then press Check. **Spot the error:** Your note: 'Team offsite moves from March 3 to March 17. Budget stays $4,000.' Tap the line the chatbot got wrong - The offsite is now later than first planned. - The new offsite date is March 17. - That is 3 weeks after the old date. - The budget is still $4,000. Not quite. You got inked Answer: line 3, 'That is 3 weeks after the old date.' The gap is 2 weeks, not 3. The sentence read well and nothing checked it. Compare every number with your source. Not quite. You got inked. The answer is line 3, 'That is 3 weeks after the old date.' The gap is 2 weeks, not 3. Correct. Sharp. The gap is 2 weeks, not 3. ## What you learn in Inkly The dive starts in the Shallows. Core units are for everyone, and you choose Claude, ChatGPT or both for the units about each tool.
