AI prompting is a foundational skill that involves entering specific instructions or queries into AI systems like ChatGPT to generate desired outputs, such as text, images, or code. It involves crafting text prompts to achieve the user's goals.

AI Automation goes a step further. It focuses on automating tasks by integrating AI tools into structured workflows. This course teaches you how to connect AI with no-code automation tools like Make.com, Zapier, and n8n to streamline processes, reduce manual work, and enhance efficiency.
