Meet Lloyd.

Lloyd
Lloyd is an AI-native entrepreneur who specializes in automating businesses and processes with agentic workflows. His tech career started as "The YouTube Ads Guy," and when the early releases of ChatGPT and other LLMs emerged he saw AI as the most transformative technology of our lifetimes - and set about learning everything he could about it. Nowadays he's happy to check in between classes on the AI agents running his businesses while he shows Varsity Tutors students how they can do the same.
Most people use ChatGPT for quick answers and never make it work reliably for school or a career. In Applied AI: Using Chat-GPT for Students & Young Professionals, you'll learn how ChatGPT works and where it fails, then practice prompt techniques on real tasks like research, writing and work emails, with hands-on practice led by AI-native entrepreneur Lloyd Dodgen. You'll design, build and present a personal ChatGPT-powered project tailored to your own goals. Built for college students and young professionals who want practical AI skills.
How ChatGPT Actually Works Explore ChatGPT's underlying architecture, what it means for how the tool performs, and the limitations and failure modes worth knowing before you rely on its outputs.
Prompt Engineering Techniques Apply prompt engineering techniques for faster, more accurate, more useful responses, and customize ChatGPT applications to fit your specific goals and working style.
Academic and Professional Workflows Integrate ChatGPT into research, writing, studying, and problem-solving, and adapt it for professional tasks like drafting communications, summarizing information, and brainstorming solutions.
Responsible Use and Your Project Navigate the ethical considerations that matter in academic and workplace settings, then design, build, and present a personal ChatGPT-powered project you can put to use the moment class ends.
