Frequently Asked Questions

Are the short courses really free?

Yes — completely free, no credit card required. The short courses are sponsored by partner companies (OpenAI, Google, AWS) and are genuinely high-quality.

Do I need to know Python?

For most short courses, basic Python knowledge is helpful. The courses provide all code in notebooks, so you can follow along even with minimal Python experience.

Should non-technical founders take these?

The short courses are more technical than "AI for Everyone." If you want to understand the technology behind AI tools, they are excellent. For pure business perspective, start with the Coursera course instead.
