Summary
This final episode of 2025 lays out a practical, self-guided 10-week plan to build real AI fluency by actually doing the work. Each weekend focuses on a concrete project—from model mapping and deep research to data analysis, visual reasoning, automations, context engineering, and building a real AI-powered app—designed to be modular, completable in a few hours, and immediately useful. The goal isn’t theory or trends, but habits, workflows, and systems that still matter months from now, setting a foundation for how AI fits into work and life heading into 2026.

| 0:51.3 | finally come to the end of our end of year coverage. This show is coming |
| 0:56.7 | out on the very last day of 2025, and we are firmly now looking towards the future. And as sort of |
| 1:03.7 | silly as New Year's resolutions can be, it is a good time to reset and build some new skills |
| 1:08.4 | and head towards the future that you most want for yourself. |

| 1:41.8 | and so feel free to pick and choose which ones seem relevant, or simply use them as inspiration. Now, if you want to engage and even share what you've built, check out AIDBnewyear.com.

One more note from a process standpoint. |
| 2:02.4 | I built the outline of all the activities I wanted to see. Claude put it into a set of slides, |
