How to plan an AI skill learning path

An AI skill learning path from prompts and tool practice to local deployment and projects.

Direct answer

Plan AI skill learning around real tasks, not tool hype. Start with the deliverable, learn prompts and tool operation, finish one real task with a course or tutorial, then save the steps as a template or portfolio project.
