AI Resource Guide

This is the reference layer: where to learn the durable things, where to check claims, and which primary sources are worth your limited attention. The full searchable directory of tools is below; if you want tools organised by job instead, use the tools directory.

How to use this guide

1. Learn the fundamentals once. Two or three good courses beat two hundred threads. Start with the learning section below.
2. Follow primary sources, not commentary. Model cards, evaluation reports and papers. Commentary is downstream and lossy.
3. Verify numbers before repeating them. The AI Index and Epoch AI exist for exactly this.
4. Choose tools by job, not by hype. Every entry below says what the thing is actually good at.

Learning paths by starting point

• Complete beginner: use one assistant daily for a month on real work → a short applied course → build one automation. Understanding follows use, not the other way round.
• Business owner: the AI for business page, then forty workflows, then pick one department and go.
• Creator: video, images and products, writing. Ship something publicly in week one.
• Developer: the build section below, then apps and dApps. Then read an evaluation report so you know what you are shipping.
• Worried: the survival guide and scenario planning. Action reduces anxiety faster than information does.
