🧠 How to Create a Personalized Masterclass on Any Topic with ChatGPT
One super prompt. Zero fees. Your own expert-led course, generated by AI.
👋 Hello hello,
Here’s a truth bomb: most online courses are just well-packaged Google searches.
Whether you want to teach a skill, grow your brand, or finally package your expertise, creating a course can be powerful. The problem? It’s time-consuming, expensive, and easy to overthink.
What if instead of paying hundreds for one, you could use AI to generate a structured masterclass tailored to your interests, complete with assignments and resources?
This week’s guide shows you how to use ChatGPT + one powerful prompt to generate a complete, structured course from scratch, tailored to your topic, audience, and teaching style.
Let’s break it down 👇
✅ The DIY Course Creation Workflow
🛠 Step 1: Pick Your Topic + Dream Instructor
Ask yourself:
• What do I actually want to learn right now?
• Who would I want teaching it if I had unlimited access?
Be specific. Not “AI.” Instead: “Prompt engineering” or “AI for writers.” Pair that with a name: Sam Altman, Ali Abdaal, Naval Ravikant, whoever fits.
Example:
Prompt Engineering by Sam Altman
💡 Why this works: You’re telling ChatGPT to act like an expert and channel a specific teaching style. The results are sharper, more engaging, and tailored to your learning style.

📥 Step 2: Use This Ready-Made Super Prompt via Prompt Genie
Here’s what it will do:
• Create a structured 4-week course
• Break it into weekly modules with clear objectives
• Add real-world exercises
• Suggest assignments and challenges
• Include reflection prompts and bonus resources
No prompt engineering needed. Just swap in your own topic + instructor and hit go.
👉 Or you can also create your own super prompt using Prompt Genie

📆 Step 3: Review & Customize Your Curriculum
Once ChatGPT returns the course, you’ll get:
• A full syllabus
• Weekly goals
• Linked resources (books, videos, articles)
• Practice exercises you can do offline
• Reflection prompts to lock in learning
Tweak the flow to match your schedule or swap out any resources with ones you already like.

🧠 Step 4: Turn It Into Daily Lessons (Optional)
Want to break it down even further?
Ask ChatGPT: “Now turn each weekly module into 5 daily lessons with mini-tasks and readings.”
Boom! You now have a full daily learning program to follow on your own terms.
🎯 Bonus Tip
Re-run the same workflow with different instructors or levels.
Example:
• Week 1: Intro to Prompt Engineering by Sam Altman
• Week 2: Advanced Prompt Crafting by Ethan Mollick
• Week 3: AI Workflow Design by Allie K. Miller
Stack them into a semester-length course. Remix and repeat. This is one proven approach, but you can experiment and adapt these methods to create the ideal course for your specific goals.
