How to Learn Prompting

Beginners do well with a stack. Learn Prompting is a free curriculum that teaches techniques in order. Iro grades daily practice against a live model. Prompthaus is the iPhone habit that keeps the words in those lessons ready for standups and PRs. This guide shows how to use all three. Learn Prompting stays the beginner curriculum.

Learn this term every day on iPhone.

One hand-written term. A real workplace example. Thirty seconds before your day gets loud.

Start with a free curriculum

If you are brand new, open Learn Prompting first. It is a free web curriculum written for beginners. You will meet system prompts, few-shot examples, chain of thought, and evaluation in a sequence that a two-minute card cannot replace. Read one chapter, then try the idea in a real chat the same day. That pairing of reading plus a live model is how prompting becomes a skill instead of a bookmark.

Add graded practice

Iro is built for five-minute workflow drills with grades from a live model. After a Learn Prompting chapter, run one Iro drill that uses the same idea. You get feedback on the prompt you wrote, which a vocabulary card cannot give you. Keep the drill small. One exercise a day beats a weekend of ungraded tinkering.

Keep the words on your phone

Prompthaus is daily term recall. Each card is a workplace word with an example from standups, PRs, or prompts, plus a quiz. When Learn Prompting names chain of thought, Prompthaus is the place you meet that phrase again tomorrow. When Iro grades a drill, Prompthaus is the place you still know what temperature and grounding mean on Friday. Sources · PwC 2026 Global AI Jobs Barometer · McKinsey MGI, Nov 2025

Use the term in real work the same week

Pick one artifact: a standup note, a PR description, or a design critique. Rewrite it with the term you learned. If the rewrite is clearer, the stack is working. If you cannot name the lever you pulled, go back to the card, then the curriculum chapter, then one more drill.
