About this episode
The episode discusses a framework for teaching AI proficiency from basic usage to advanced automation.
This video is a re-upload from our livestream on YouTube. Most people are still using ChatGPT the way they used Google in 2005: type a question, get an answer, close the tab. In 2026, that’s like owning a professional kitchen and only using the microwave. In this episode, Grant and Corey walk through The Neuron’s 5-Level AI Proficiency Stack — a framework for going from “I use ChatGPT sometimes” to “AI saves me 10 hours a week.” No coding required. No hype. Just the actual progression that separates casual users from people getting real, compounding value out of AI every single day. The 5 Levels: 🔹 Level 1: Projects — Why your first move isn’t prompting. It’s onboarding. 🔹 Level 2: Prompting — The simplest formula that actually works 🔹 Level 3: Skills — Turn one good conversation into a reusable superpower 🔹 Level 4: Automations — Set it, schedule it, forget it 🔹 Level 5: Agents — AI that decides what to do and when to do it Tools mentioned:• ChatGPT Projects: https://help.openai.com/en/articles/10169521-projects-in-chatgpt • Claude Skills: https://support.claude.com/en/articles/12512176-what-are-skills • Claude Cowork…
