About this course
A practical, beginner-friendly course on analysing a small Nigerian business's real data using AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Google Sheets with Gemini and Excel with Copilot — no formulas, no coding. You learn to prepare your data, ask sharp questions, read the answers, verify every number, and report honestly.
You no longer need formulas or code to understand your own business. You upload your sales data, you ask a plain question — "which product made the most profit?" — and the AI answers. Your real job becomes asking the right question and checking the answer.
