the education layer
You don’t need to become an engineer. You do need to know what to ask for.
Most of the limits people blame on AI are gaps in what they knew how to say. So Yu teaches as it goes. Enough of the machine to scaffold it well, enough of the map to ask the next question without flinching.
The two tracks below are the overview. The lessons, the progress and the badges live in the product once you have an account.
start with the map
Tech Translator Essentials
You do not need to become technical. You need enough of the map to know what questions to ask.
This is the map before AI 101. Ten tiny cards on how software actually fits together, where information moves, and why projects go wrong when context stays in someone's head.
10 short cards. about 10 minutes.
Plain meaning first, then the real name, then the same name everywhere. By the end you can read the vocabulary of AI without flinching.
then the machine
AI 101. No jargon, no lectures.
4 levels, 19 short cards, each ending in one decision you can actually use. Every level closes with a quick check.
- 00Foundations: what it's made of
The parts inside it: tokens, training data, weights, and the instructions you own.
- 01Level 1. The Machine
How a single answer gets made, and why it starts over every time.
- 02Level 2. The Levers
The levers you can actually pull: instructions, authority, memory, connectors.
- 03Level 3. The Practice
Using it day to day, and what to do when it pushes back.
The learning and the profile are the same journey.
As you learn how AI works, each lesson adds intelligence to your Yu. The lessons sit in your city beside the context you choose to add.
