"I know I should be using AI, but I don't know where to start."
If that sentence sounds familiar, you're in the right terminal. This course was built for capable adults with full lives, real problems to solve, and no interest in learning to code. You want AI to work for you, not the other way around.
You ARE this person if...
- You're over 45 and feel behind
- You've tried AI once and got confused
- You want practical help, not theory
- You don't have time to figure this out alone
You're NOT this person if...
- You're a software developer
- You already use AI daily with confidence
- You want to build AI products
- You're looking for an academic deep-dive
After the course you will...
- Use AI as a daily assistant
- Write, plan, and research faster
- Know what to trust and what to verify
- Feel genuinely capable, not just curious

Your captain, Naomi Shiels
Naomi is the founder of Wild Hearts Publishing and the person who taught herself to use AI. Not through courses or coding, but through pure necessity and a lot of trial and error.
She built her publishing operation using AI as a crew. Not to replace thinking, but to do the work she didn't have time for, so she could focus on the work only she can do.
C4TO is what she wished had existed when she started: practical, honest, and built for people who aren't going to fall in love with technology but absolutely want it to work for them.

"I didn't learn AI because I'm technical. I learned it because I had too much to do and not enough time. Now I'm teaching what actually worked."

Common questions
Do I need any technical experience?
None whatsoever. If you can send an email, you have everything you need to start this course. We begin at absolute zero and move at a pace that lets things land properly.
What AI tools does the course use?
We cover ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Copilot. You'll learn to choose the right one for you and get comfortable with whichever you pick. You don't need a paid subscription. The free versions are fine for everything we do.
How long does it take?
About seven hours of video in total, designed to be taken one lesson at a time. Most students fly through a module a week. There is no schedule and no deadline.
What if it turns out not to be for me?
14 days, money back, no questions asked. Email us and we will process the refund within two business days.
The runway is clear.
Six weeks from now you could be the person your family asks about AI.
