HELP & HONEST ANSWERS
Frequently asked questions.
Curiosity is welcome here. So is scepticism. If something sounds too good to be true, you’ll probably find us asking the same question.
What exactly is Artificially Us?
An experiment, learning resource and developing business exploring how humans and AI can collaborate. Our website combines practical learning, commentary and a separate planned personalised AI setup.
Is Mia a real person?
No. Mia is an AI personality shaped by instructions, context and ongoing practical work. She is not human; we don’t make claims about her consciousness or guarantee identical behaviour across models.
What do you mean by a personal AI?
An AI assistant whose style and working instructions you tailor to your preferences — for example how much detail you want, what questions it should ask, and whether you prefer a teacher, organiser or creative partner.
Will Build Yours create a new AI app?
No. Build Yours is a coming-soon concept for a bespoke personality and working-instructions script, with guidance for using it in a compatible AI service. It is not a hosted chatbot, custom model or software subscription.
Can I buy Build Yours now?
Not yet. Build Yours is still in development. There are no published prices or active orders. We’ll publish the offer details and customer terms before accepting purchases.
Does a personality script give AI perfect memory?
No. A script can guide tone and behaviour, but memory depends on the AI product, available chat context, settings and any connected information sources. Important decisions should be kept in a separate record and verified when needed.
Do I need to be technically confident?
Not at all. Our free Learn AI journey is designed for ordinary people who want to understand the technology one useful step at a time. We explain concepts in plain English and offer practical exercises.
Can my AI be funny, direct or challenging?
Absolutely — within the limits of the service you use. You can ask it to communicate more formally or casually, explain concepts in a particular style, and challenge your thinking rather than automatically agreeing.
Will Artificially Us need access to my private conversations?
You should never assume you need to share an entire conversation history. We intend to minimise what a future personalisation service asks for. Exact collection, storage and deletion practices must be published before accepting orders.
Can I use it for work or important decisions?
AI can help draft, analyse and organise, but check company policies before sharing workplace information. Independently verify consequential advice, especially in legal, medical, financial or safety-critical situations.
What is Mia 2.0?
A long-term research and development direction exploring portable personality, clearer records, persistent context, voice and specialist AI agents. It is not a launched standalone product.
Where can I start right now?
Begin with our free 20-lesson AI Foundations course or read our articles. If you already use AI confidently, explore the Build Yours concept and the Experiment Lab.
Start with the basics.
Our free Stage 1 AI Foundations course is a sensible first step. The separate Stages 2 and 3 are planned paid courses, with no purchase required to start learning.
Learning, courses and payments — common questions
We’d rather be clear about what exists than make impressive promises about what doesn’t. Here’s where Artificially Us stands today.
Is Stage 1 really free?
Yes. The free AI Foundations learning library includes 20 lessons, practical exercises, a final challenge, an optional browser-only checklist and a 12-question knowledge check, with no account or payment required to read those pages. Learners can also enrol in our free Tutor LMS course and create a learner account to save lesson progress across devices. Email-based password recovery is still being verified ahead of the public launch announcement.
Are Stages 2 and 3 available to purchase?
Not yet. Their detailed syllabuses, free samples and starter resources are published. The full courses are still being written, tested and packaged. No checkout or enrolment for these future courses is available.
Do I have to buy Stage 2 before Stage 3?
No. The two future paid courses are independent. Stage 2 is about building your own personalised companion; Stage 3 is technical training about models, APIs, agents and automation.
Will I need a paid ChatGPT or other AI subscription?
Many free exercises can be completed using free AI services, but account capabilities differ. Some custom-assistant features, API calls, agent tools or cloud services may require separate subscriptions or usage charges. Each paid lesson will state its actual requirements before sale.
What does the free Companion Blueprint Studio do?
It turns your selected name, tone, purpose and boundaries into a starter instruction sheet you can copy or save. It does not create or host a new model, provide guaranteed memory or grant access to your accounts. The interactive tool is designed to work entirely in your browser without submitting questionnaire answers.
What is the planned Build Yours service?
A separate done-for-you starter service that would turn customer answers into a reviewed, editable AI companion blueprint plus setup guidance. It is still a planned offering. No order or payment facility is active.
Do your courses provide an accredited qualification?
No external accreditation is claimed. Stage 1 currently provides self-assessment and a scored browser quiz, not verified academic credit. Any future completion certificate will clearly describe its actual status.
Can I study on my phone?
The pages are designed to adapt to smaller screens. For technical Stage 3 exercises involving Python, APIs or local tools, a computer is likely to be much more practical. We will publish tested device and software requirements before paid enrolment.
