About Project 42
A free place to become fluent in AI.
Project 42 is for the person asking their first AI question and the practitioner building their hundredth workflow. It pairs a practical field guide with learning paths that show what you understand—not just what you clicked.
Beginner first, no ceiling
Every subject begins in plain language, then opens into practical and advanced material. Accessible does not mean shallow.
Concepts before vendors
We teach ideas that transfer, then explain how Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, and other selected providers implement them.
Evidence before freshness claims
Volatile material carries sources and verification dates. Future automation will propose evidence-backed updates, never publish unchecked AI output.
Hosted now, portable by design
Project42dev operates the first instance. The platform core and starter curriculum are open so teams can eventually run and extend their own.
Release facts
One source, no mystery numbers.
Versions, catalog totals, provider coverage, licenses, and project links come from the tagged software and curriculum packages—not hand-maintained marketing copy.
