Pick a path through the library
Three sequenced routes through the AINews guides, each shaped for a specific role and goal. Work through them in order, or jump in wherever you are.
Zero → AI-augmented operator
For: Anyone who works in an office and has never seriously used AI for their job.
You will be able to: You can use AI confidently for your everyday work — research, writing, meetings, email — and you know when to trust it and when not to.
Engineer → AI-coding fluency
For: An engineer who can already code but wants to use AI as a serious coding collaborator, not just a fancy autocomplete.
You will be able to: You can run agentic coding workflows, ship faster without shipping more bugs, and you know how to ground AI output in your codebase instead of letting it invent things.
Founder → AI-augmented operator
For: A founder running a small company who needs to use AI across the full job — research, customer work, product decisions, hiring, comms — without delegating judgment to it.
You will be able to: You can use AI as a real collaborator for the founder job, ship AI features without embarrassing yourself, and avoid the predictable "we built an AI thing and it broke" outcomes.
Designer → AI-assisted workflows
For: A designer who wants to use AI across the design workflow — generation, prototyping, brand consistency — without losing the craft.
You will be able to: You can use AI to move from idea to clickable prototype faster, stay on-brand, and ship interactive design artifacts without waiting on engineering.
PM → AI-aware product thinking
For: A product manager who needs to ship AI features that work, scope what is realistic, and avoid the common "we built an AI feature and it embarrassed us" outcomes.
You will be able to: You can scope AI features realistically, choose the right architecture (prompting / RAG / fine-tuning / agents), evaluate whether they are working, and avoid the predictable failure modes.

Paths are sequenced curations of existing guides. If your role or goal is not represented here, the underlying guides usually are — browse the full library and assemble your own.
