Which should I learn in this day and age? (I'm trying to level up so I can access AI OS course, pls like this post lol)

Please give me the knowledge to use my tokens more efficiently!!!!

Can anyone give me some recommendations on how to build a good AI-powered “second brain” that will help me conduct powerful research and save on tokens when consulting with AI? Or share your experiences creating a “second brain” and using it in your daily life?

Let's get to know each other! Comment below sharing where you are in the world, a career goal you have, and something you like to do for fun. 😊

I completed day 1 of the AIS challenge over the weekend. Had to engage with the community to get to level 2 to post it. Over the past year or so I have spent a lot of time working with AI but mostly in the chat interfaces so essentially a super powered chat bot. Focused a lot of prompt engineering and context which has been a real help. Built some really neat frameworks for teaching and for translation projects but those frameworks always had to be what was entered first. The last project I did in this method took me about 30 hours. After completing day 1 of this challenge I realize that same project could have been less than 2 hours and automated. It is incredible how quickly I have been learning these skills. Doing that previous project in 30 hours labeled me as one of the AI experts at my work, now I feel how poor my skills were at that time but were still well above my peers there. I had some issues with this project, mostly because automation and API calls etc were new to me. I used Claude chat a lot to help me through some of the stages and iterated on the final product a lot. I set everything up per the lesson but the infographics were sub standard so I switched up the source of those for the final product. I still need to work on branding for myself, but because I am starting a consulting business I need to do that as a side project and decided to keep this more towards learning the key concepts. The newsletter to someone that doesn't work in the industry probably sounds pretty good, but as an expert it lacks a bit of depth that would come with context and my anti AI language skills. Overall the lesson was very informative and I definitely see a ton of value in the skills I learned and am already applying them to other areas. As a side note, if you can't get bypass permissions to work you need to run VSCode as administrator. I was confused why it kept asking me for approvals and finally I tried running as administrator and everything worked properly.
