I’m looking to dive into AI but feel overwhelmed by all the choices. I'd love a mobile-friendly app that focuses on hands-on practice rather than just watching videos. Since I'm a complete beginner, I need something that breaks down complex concepts into bite-sized lessons. Which app would you recommend for building a solid foundation from scratch?

Story time: Just sharing my experience because I went through this last year. I was basically in ur shoes, super overwhelmed by all the "AI masterclasses" charging $500+. Honestly, I wasted a bit of money on a pricey subscription that was way too technical for my phone... total bummer. I eventually tried Enki: Learn Data Science & AI cuz they have a free version, but ngl, I was kinda disappointed with how fast it got complex without enough practice. Then I stumbled upon Mimo: Learn Coding/Programming which is like $9.99/month for the pro version, but the free bits were actually decent for bite-sized learning. I also looked at Kaggle Learn which is literally $0, but it’s honestly way harder to use on a small screen. Lesson learned? Be reallyyy careful with those "lifetime" deals. I highkey regret paying for that one $40 app that stopped updating... honestly, just stick to the free tiers first to see if the interface actually works for u before spending any cash. gl!

Quick question - do u wanna write code or just learn logic? Honestly Brilliant.org Premium Subscription is actually amazing value for basics!! Just be careful with pricey subs tho... what’s ur goal??

Just saw this thread and seriously, welcome to the AI world!! Its such an amazing time to start. Since you want hands-on and mobile, I've got a couple favs that wont empty your wallet:
- DataCamp Mobile App Subscription is literally perfect for those 5-minute sessions on the bus. Their Introduction to ChatGPT and AI Fundamentals tracks are super beginner-friendly and focus on practice.
- Mimo Learn Coding App is fantastic if you want to learn the Python basics behind AI. It feels like a game and keeps things really light. A couple quick tips:
- Dont pay full price immediately. Most of these apps have massive 50 to 70 percent off sales if you just wait a week or two after signing up.
- Use the free daily lessons first! You can learn a ton without spending a cent if youre patient. Youre gonna love it! Feel free to ask if you get stuck on any specific concepts later on!
