Working with AI

An illustrated AI literacy workbook for modern careers.

The people who get the most out of AI aren't the ones who know the most code. They're the ones with the right words.

Working with AI teaches the 25 terms that change how you prompt, steer and check an AI, from system prompts and few-shot examples to RAG, evals and agents. Each word is drawn as a real machine whose working is the idea: a railway set before departure, a key cut from an example, a robot shuttle that reads, edits and tests.

Building with AI

An illustrated workbook for shipping software with AI as your teammate.

AI can write the code. Shipping it still takes knowing what the code, the plan and the release are made of.

Building with AI teaches the 25 terms that turn an idea into working software, from functions and APIs to acceptance criteria, version control, rollbacks and observability. Each word is drawn as a real machine whose working is the idea: a press that takes inputs and returns a result, a turret that swings back to the last good release, a pipe fitted with gauges that tell you what's happening inside.
