ECOWAS & LSETF AI Literacy (Foundation Course)

The Real Talk: You hear “AI” everywhere. Netflix recommends movies. Your phone autocompletes texts. Amazon knows what you want before you search. But what does that have to do with your business?

Everything.

What You’ll Learn:

• What AI actually is (not Hollywood, not sci-fi)
• Why it’s not replacing your job—it’s replacing tedious tasks
• How to spot when AI is being useful vs. making stuff up
• Why understanding AI now means you’ll own the tool instead of the tool owning you

After This Module, You’ll Be Able To:

• Explain to your team what AI does (in simple terms)
• Name 3-5 repetitive tasks in your business that AI could help with
• Know when to trust AI output and when to verify it yourself
• Stop being afraid of the word “AI”

Real Example: Chioma makes soap. She spends 30 minutes writing WhatsApp messages to regular customers asking if they need more soap. ESBC.ai wrote a template. Now she copies it, personalizes it with a name, sends it. 5 minutes. She gets 25 minutes back. That’s money—25 minutes to make more soap, talk to new customers, or take a break.

Why This Matters for You: Most of your business is repetition. Orders. Customer follow-ups. Supplier requests. Notes. If you can move that time-cost down 50%, you make more money. AI does that. This course teaches you how.
