Put the approach from “How to learn with AI, one project at a time” to work on something you care about making or doing.
By Razvan Popescu · 1 resource
Start with something you care about making or doing. Bring that project here, and learn one part you can put to use.
You’ll get an explanation or worked example, a small attempt you can make now, and a way to check it. A rough project is enough. A relevant example or an attempt you’ve already made can help too.
In the article’s meeting example, the first attempt is explaining the proposal and answering what happens when a response cannot wait. The same approach can serve the part of your own project that matters now.
Take the practice away, or return with your actual attempt. The companion can preserve what works, explain one useful correction and help you try again.
Start with the same two sentences:
I want to make or do…
By the end, I want to be able to explain or do…
The second is optional. Begin with your project.
What you can ask
- I’m not sure what to work on. Help me choose a small project.
- I have a project in mind. Help me put the learning approach into practice.
- I’ve made an attempt. Help me check what I understand and try again.
Questions
How do I begin?
Tell the companion what you want to make or do. Add what you want to learn, where you’re stuck, or a relevant example if you have one. A rough project is enough.
What will I leave with?
An explanation or example connected to your project, a small attempt you can make now, and a way to check it. If you return with your work, the companion can explain one useful correction and support another try.
Do I need a course or special prompts?
No. Start a conversation in your own words. You can also use one of the three starter buttons.
Is it free, and are there usage limits?
Access to this companion is free, with no payment required. AI conversations in Eden use credits. Check the current allowance and any costs shown in your account before continuing.
What happens after I enter my email?
Eden handles access to the companion in your Eden account. Once inside, open “Put the article into practice” or begin a chat with your project. If you already use Eden, sign in to your account.
What happens to my email?
Eden shares your access email with Răzvan, who may send you updates. This access is separate from subscribing to The DAC Life on Substack.
Can I rely on every answer?
Check factual claims and important work against appropriate sources or expertise. A useful practice result shows something about that attempt; it does not prove mastery.
