The topics, in plain language

  1. 01

    APIs: connecting systems

    An agreed way for one application to ask another for information or an action.

  2. 02

    MCP: access to tools and context

    A standard way to make tools and data available to AI applications.

  3. 03

    Skills: reusable instructions

    Packaged guidance that lets AI repeat a particular way of doing a task.

  4. 04

    Browser automation

    AI carries out steps on websites and in systems, and stops for your approval before important actions.

  5. 05

    Research and memory

    Research gathers evidence. Memory keeps selected information so the work can continue later.

Why it matters

AI helps more when it can work with the right references and resources. You learn to design useful connections and decide what access each one needs.

What you will be able to do

  • Design a task that combines AI, information and a tool.
  • Distinguish connections, reusable instructions and memory.
  • Define the access and review the task needs.

An everyday example

Prepare a progress summary from documents you are allowed to use, with a set analysis method and a review before anything is shared.

How to apply it

  1. Describe the intended result and required sources.
  2. Map the connections and permissions for each step.
  3. Test a simple integration with human review.

Your first application

AI needs to consult . It may execute . It must request review before .

Fill in the blanks with your own work. This is the deliverable you take out of the module.
