Everyday Artificial Intelligence
Learn how modern AI models actually work and how to steer them effectively. Discover how to get reliable results, spot hallucinations, and pick the right tool for any task.
Like Duolingo, but for Everyday Artificial Intelligence. Tomo turns the whole topic into a game you play five minutes a day, until it actually sticks.
A short one: 11 levels across 2 sections, about 22 minutes end to end, roughly 4 days at five minutes a day. It moves through Steering the Machine and Under the Hood. It starts from scratch.

Key ideas in Everyday Artificial Intelligence
- AI models generate text by predicting what fits the scenario you set, not by running a keyword search
- Giving the AI a role and a specific situation grounds its tone and intent far better than scattered keywords
- AI models naturally tend toward polite, verbose explanations unless told where to stop
- Setting explicit limits on length (like bullet counts or word caps) and format forces the model to edit itself
- AI models mimic patterns in their input very strongly
- A single sample output shows the model rhythm, tone, and formatting all at once, avoiding misunderstandings from vague adjectives like 'punchy' or 'professional'
- AI models remember the conversation context, so you can steer and shape their text across turns
- Treating the initial response as a rough draft and steering it with follow-ups is much faster than repeatedly rewriting a single mega-prompt from scratch
- Language models predict which words sound plausible together rather than looking up verified facts
- An AI can generate completely fictional book titles, papers, or quotes while sounding calm and authoritative
- AI models hallucinate most often on obscure, niche topics, exact direct quotes, or hyper-specific data outside common training text
- Broad, famous, and heavily documented subjects are much safer from severe factual invention
- Pasting the reference material directly into the prompt grounds the AI's response in real text
- Constraining the AI to rely exclusively on provided text drastically reduces invented facts
- Polite requests or commands like 'be accurate' do not prevent an AI from hallucinating
- Prompting an AI to lay out its work step-by-step reveals the intermediate logic so users can spot faulty assumptions
You've tried the other tabs
Thirty open tabs. Four facts you actually kept.
You watched. You nodded. By Sunday it was gone.
One answer, then back to scrolling.
Eight weeks. You meant to finish. You didn't.
Tomo gives Everyday Artificial Intelligence the Duolingo treatment: levels, streaks, and quick quizzes that test what you just learned. That game loop is what the tabs above never had, so it's the one you actually finish.
