Who is Zero to AI for?
Zero to AI isn’t for everyone. Here’s who gets the most out of it.
Not sure where to start?
Free resources for professionals ready to engage with AI. Whether you’re a mid-career professional protecting your expertise, a business owner cutting through the noise, a consultant building a smarter practice, an educator keeping pace with your students, an HR leader upskilling your team, or a council navigating AI in the public sector — Zero to AI is free, on demand, and built around real experience rather than theory.
Mid-Career Professionals
You’ve spent years building real expertise. Now AI is changing the rules and it’s not always clear what that means for your career. Zero to AI is built around this exact situation — not for people starting from scratch, but for people who have something worth protecting and growing.
You’ll find practical experiments, honest assessments of what AI can and can’t do, and a realistic path to integrating these tools into the way you already work. No coding required. No hype. Just what’s actually useful.
Business Owners
You’re hearing about AI constantly but most of what’s out there is either too technical or too vague to act on. Zero to AI cuts through that. Each episode explores a specific tool, workflow, or concept with a focus on real business application — what it costs, what it saves, and whether it’s actually worth your time.
If you’re a small to medium business owner trying to figure out where AI fits without blowing your budget or your team’s trust, this is the resource for you.
Consultants & Freelancers
Your value is your expertise and your time. AI has the potential to dramatically multiply both — if you know how to use it properly. Zero to AI documents exactly that process: how a senior consultant builds an AI-assisted practice, what works in client-facing work, and where the real efficiency gains are hiding.
You’ll also get an honest look at the risks — where AI can undermine credibility if used carelessly, and how to stay on the right side of that line.
HR & Learning and Development Leaders
If part of your role is helping your organisation adapt to AI, you need more than vendor presentations and generic frameworks. Zero to AI gives you ground-level insight into how professionals are actually learning and applying AI in practice — the friction points, the quick wins, and the mindset shifts that make the difference.
Use it to inform your own upskilling strategy, share episodes with teams, or use the companion guides as discussion starters for workshops.
Councils & Local Government
AI is already on the agenda in most councils — but the conversation often stays at the governance and risk level without getting to practical application. Zero to AI bridges that gap. It’s not a policy document. It’s a working professional showing what AI looks like when you actually use it — in research, in reporting, in decision support, and in community engagement.
If you’re trying to build internal capability and confidence before committing to large-scale implementation, this is a low-risk, high-value starting point.
Educators & Academic Staff
The classroom has changed. Your students are already using AI — for assignments, for research, for creative work. The question isn’t whether AI belongs in education anymore. It’s whether you have the practical knowledge to guide that conversation, shape how it’s used, and integrate it meaningfully into your own work.
Zero to AI is useful for educators not as a theoretical overview, but as a working demonstration of what AI looks like in professional practice. That’s directly relevant to curriculum development, research workflows, assessment design, and building learning experiences that reflect the world your students are about to enter.
You’ll find it useful for your own productivity — drafting, research, analysis, and content creation. But also as a resource you can point students toward when they’re asking the right questions about how AI fits into their career and professional development.
This is particularly relevant if you are teaching in tertiary, polytechnic, or professional development environments, developing curriculum that needs to reflect current AI capability, conducting research that could benefit from AI-assisted analysis, or trying to build your own confidence with these tools before introducing them to others.
