Self-Guided Learning with AI: Get Smart Faster at Work

For managers, contributors, and L&D professionals ready to build a Personal Learning Operating System, apply four distinct AI learning modes, and compound professional development without clearing your calendar.

Overview

Vani Aggarwal is a documentary filmmaker and AI educator whose work spans National Geographic India, Discovery Channel India, Fox Life, and India Today. She co-founded Vaak, working with over 100 brands including Vivo, Oppo, Spotify, and KentRO, before scaling AI and interactive video education at Starweaver to reach 350,000 learners across four years.

Self-Guided Learning with AI is an 85-minute, demonstration-led course built around a framework grounded in cognitive science: retrieval practice, spaced repetition, desirable difficulty, and the generation effect. It covers six AI tools in specific cognitive roles and delivers a 50-prompt Vault, a 90-Day Learning Plan, and a Skills Half-Life Tracker for ongoing portfolio audits.

By the end of this course, you have a working Personal Learning Operating System you can open on Monday morning and a method that turns fragmented AI conversations into retained, applied professional knowledge.

Who is the Self-Guided Learning with AI For?

The manager who needs to ramp fast

You have three weeks to get credible in a domain your team already knows. You have tried reading reports, watching videos, and asking AI questions. None of it sticks. This course gives you a four-mode framework that moves you from surface familiarity to confident working knowledge, with AI calibrated to your role and existing context.

Tools :

The L&D professional building self-directed culture

You are designing or advocating for self-directed learning programs in your organisation, but your learners default to passive consumption. This course gives you a working model you have personally completed, a 90-Day Learning Plan template you can adapt for teams, and the cognitive science to explain why it works to leadership.

Why Join this Program?

A vault, not a tutorial

The AI Learning Prompt Vault contains 50 copy-paste prompts, one for every learning situation covered in the course. You are never staring at a blank chat window wondering what to type.

Four modes, not one

Most self-guided learners live permanently in Explore mode. This course gives you all four modes, with a decision map that helps you choose the right one in under 30 seconds.

Working tools, not handouts

Every resource in this course is built to function outside the platform. A completed 90-Day Plan, a printable 4-Mode Decision Map, a Weekly Ritual Template, and a Skills Half-Life Tracker for annual portfolio audits.
