Spot real opportunities
Tell which AI opportunities are worth the effort, rather than building what is merely possible.

Overview
Not every idea is worth building. This course helps you choose and plan one.
Scope AI Solutions is a free, self-paced 30-minute course that begins OpenAI Academy’s API pathway, before any building starts. You spot valuable AI opportunities, select a use case and turn it into a solution plan. The pathway goes on to evaluation, retrieval, agentic systems and tuning, and OpenAI says its badges are not certifications.

Learn all the way down.
Learn all the way down.
Perform when it matters.
Pick one use case
Choose a single use case to take forward, and say why it beats the others you considered.
Draft the solution plan
Turn that use case into a plan that says what you will build and how you will know it works.
Set up the API pathway
Start the pathway with a plan the later courses on evaluation and agents can build on.
Course outline
Decide what is worth building
Decide what is worth building
before you write any code.
We design this course ourselves. OpenAI issues the credential, and LUNARTECH is independent of OpenAI.
Start with the work, not the technology. You look for tasks that are slow, repetitive or hard to scale, where language, judgment or pattern-finding is the bottleneck and AI can plausibly help.
- Looking for bottlenecks in real workflows
- What AI does well enough to build on
- Signs an opportunity is only a demo
- Gathering opportunities from the people who do the work
You build A list of AI opportunities drawn from one real process.
Every opportunity has a payoff and a cost. You estimate who benefits and how much, what data and effort it would take, and what happens when the AI is wrong.
- Estimating value in time, cost or quality
- Judging data readiness and effort
- Pricing the cost of a wrong answer
- Finding the opportunities that are cheap to try
You build A value, effort and risk sheet for each opportunity.
Pick one and say why. You compare the opportunities against each other, choose the one with the strongest case, and record why the others were not chosen so the decision can be revisited.
- Comparing use cases on the same criteria
- Choosing a first project that can succeed
- Writing down why you chose it
- Agreeing the choice with stakeholders
You build A one-page use case decision with the alternatives you rejected.
A plan says what you will build, for whom, and how you will know it works. You define the users, inputs and outputs, the role of a person in the loop, and a measure of success.
- Describing users and the job to be done
- Defining inputs, outputs and data sources
- Deciding where a person stays in the loop
- Setting a success measure and a starting target
- Listing risks and open questions
You build A solution plan someone else could build from.
A plan earns its keep when the next stage can use it. You check that the plan is specific enough to test, list what to evaluate first, and note where retrieval, agents or tuning might later help.
- Checking the plan is testable
- Choosing the first cases to test
- Noting where retrieval, tools or tuning may help
- Setting review points as the build proceeds
You build A build brief with a first test list, ready for an engineering team.

Reviews
Real stories from the community.
LUNARTECH Academy has been the most empowering learning experience of my life, giving me a clear, structured path from the absolute basics to building real-world AI systems with confidence.
Your page is fantastic. As a bachelor’s student in Data Science now accepted for a master’s at UConn, your work has been a real source of motivation.
The programme’s clear, bite-sized content and practical projects dramatically improved my speed from fuzzy idea to MVP and my ability to communicate AI value. I followed the system, and it works.
I really appreciate your teaching style and the way you break down complex topics. It has been incredibly helpful.
After years working mainly with R for econometrics, I found your Python machine learning course a refreshing and engaging way to learn Python.
As a Data Science graduate, I want to thank you for the effort you put into making videos to support growing data scientists.
I’ve been following your work since taking your machine learning course, and I’m impressed by your practical approach to applying AI.
