Project, role play, test, certificate

Every chapter ends with a practical project, a role play and a chapter test. In the role play you advise, for example, a baker who wants to introduce AI, and you score points for honest, smart answers. Once everything is done, the final exam unlocks (60 questions, 90 minutes, pass mark 80 percent). The certificate "Certified AI Tools Practitioner" is a learning record of this app, not an officially recognised qualification.

Current, concrete, honest

Up to date as of autumn 2026, with everyday examples from Switzerland. No promises like "save 15 hours a week". Limits, hallucinations, costs and law (Swiss FADP, GDPR, EU AI Act, copyright) are named clearly.

Privacy

Buy once: no subscription, no ads, no account. The app collects no data and contains no tracking. All lessons and labs are inside the app. Only the lesson videos and the current tool cards are loaded from tools.babala.ch. Privacy policy

FAQ

Do I need paid AI subscriptions?

No. Most recipes work with free tiers. Every lesson says honestly when a subscription or a business licence is needed.

Does the app work offline?

Yes. Lessons, labs, quizzes, projects and role plays are inside the app. The AI tools themselves of course need the internet.

Is the app affiliated with OpenAI, Google or Microsoft?

No. The course is independent and neutral. Tools are compared, not advertised.

Who is the course for?

For everyone who wants to use AI sensibly at work, at school or in everyday life: from the first prompts to agents, automations and your own apps.

Which devices and languages?

iPhone and iPad. Languages: German, English, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, Turkish and Arabic.
