Learning anything faster with AI — companion videos

Mike and Matty

A 10-minute framework — Construct, Connect, Challenge — applied with specific ChatGPT prompts for each phase: ask for a syllabus, ask for analogies, ask for a practice test, ask for feedback on your explanation. These prompts work on essentially any subject from physiology to programming, and the tone is exactly the article's: AI as a tutor, not a substitute for thinking.

What you should get from this: Turn a topic into a study plan with explanations, practice questions and feedback loops you can verify.

Watch or know first: None — it helps to have one topic you actually want to learn before you start.

A different angle on the same problem: pick a real project, then let the AI surface only what you need to know to finish it. Useful counterweight to the Mike and Matty video if you learn better by building than by studying, and it pushes back gently on the "consume more courses" reflex.

What you should get from this: You can run a project-first learning loop, letting AI surface only the knowledge you need to finish something real.

Watch or know first: None — just bring a real project you want to finish.
