Last updated September 2026

Our take

Based on the ratings of 2,523 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in September 2026. No course pays to be reviewed.

Ryan Ahmed's course is a business-first tour of generative AI in three parts. Part A covers the basics. Part B uses ChatGPT for data wrangling, charts, financial forecasting, competitor analysis, anomaly detection and scenario planning. Part C walks through Microsoft Copilot in PowerPoint, Word, Teams, Outlook and Excel, then Copilot agents. It runs about 24 hours across 211 lectures and needs no coding. The audience list is wide, from executives to analysts, but the material really suits people who live in spreadsheets, reports and Office apps.

Ratings are strong: 1,442 five-star and 880 four-star out of 2,523. Reviewers call the teaching clear and practical, and one newcomer says it is easy to follow without feeling overwhelming. The Copilot modules get specific praise for being useful at work. The complaints are consistent, though. Some say the ChatGPT screens are out of date, with one reviewer saying the lectures explain ChatGPT 4 while they use a newer version. Others say there are no sample files to practice on, so it becomes watch and learn. One found it more data science than AI tooling.

The last update was 8 September 2026, which added a GPT-6 Astra module, so the newest material is there even if some older lectures still show older interfaces. It is long, and one reviewer wished it were split up by platform. Take it if your job runs on Excel, reports and Office apps and you want guided demos. Skip it if already prompting ChatGPT for analysis covers your needs, or if you want a short primer on AI in general.

Best forOffice workers and analysts who want ChatGPT for business data plus Copilot in Excel, Word and Teams, with no coding.
Skip it ifYou want a short, general AI overview, current ChatGPT screens, or agent building beyond Copilot.

Pros

  • Copilot modules cover PowerPoint, Word, Teams, Outlook and Excel, and one reviewer finds them useful at work
  • Clear, demo-led teaching that one reviewer with no AI background found easy to follow
  • Business projects go beyond prompting: forecasting, anomaly detection, variance analysis, scenario planning
  • Updated in September 2026 with a GPT-6 Astra module and a Copilot agents section

Cons

  • Some ChatGPT lectures show older interfaces, and reviewers say they cannot follow along on the current screens
  • No sample datasets or files to practice on, so reviewers say it is mostly watch and learn
  • Long at 24 hours, and some analysis modules lean toward data science rather than AI tools
Having no knowledge of using AI this has been great! It is not overwhelming and easy to understand yet super insightful.
Jared Szalkiewicz, a student

Suits non-technical office workers; experienced data people may find the analysis modules basic.

I'm Dr. Ryan Ahmed, professor, engineer, and founder of Stemplicity, where we help people get past the hype and actually build things with AI, Agentic AI, Cloud, and Data Science.

Over the past 10 years, I've taught 1 million learners across 160 countries — 700,000+ enrolled in my Udemy courses, 260,000+ subscribers on the "Prof. Ryan Ahmed" YouTube channel, and 120,000+ on Coursera. I also run corporate AI training for teams at HSBC, RBC, Discover, and Barclays across the US, Canada, and the UK. I held leadership roles at GM, Samsung, and Stellantis in Canada and the U.S., working on electric and autonomous vehicle technologies.

I hold a MASc, PhD, and MBA from McMaster University. I’m also a licensed Professional Engineer and a Stanford-certified program manager with over 60+ published research papers in AI and battery systems.

But credentials are the least interesting part. Here's what I actually believe: "AI is the biggest opportunity of our lifetime", and most people are sitting it out because they think they need to code or have a PhD. You don't. If you're willing to show up and try, I'll help you get good at this.

By Andre Fanti on 8/27/2026

O curso é bom, mas é muito extenso, tive que fazer por vários dias, pois não consigo parar e ficar tanto tempo fazendo curso. Poderia ser fragmentado por plataformas de IA.

By Jared Szalkiewicz on 7/31/2026

Having no knowledge of using AI this has been great! It is not overwhelming and easy to understand yet super insightful. Looking forward to learning more of the content but so far it's been a game changer for me!

By Jauymini Barkataky on 7/7/2026

the input data for the prompts, like the financials in csv format or the cancer report, some generic material should have been available for students to practice on. It's been just watch and learn.

By Abdullah Kolthoum on 4/27/2026

very very extensive and informational, some parts was not of intrest to me personally, but overall, made me wish that I was jonger to learn more.

By Mike Quarmby on 4/17/2026

Excellent course, learned a lot about AI and how to use it in everyday business activities and for much deeper level analysis of data.

By Makhosonke Armstrong Mpela on 3/30/2026

All the modules in this course were interesting and are useful in my line of work. I particularly enjoyed the areas dealing with the use of copilot in PowerPoint, Teams, word, emails and excel.

By Gomolemo Selau on 3/27/2026

The course was worth it and got to learn more on all those subjects from lesson/section 1 to 24.

By Sumedha Jauhari on 3/2/2026

I was looking for learning how to leverage AI using AI tools, building AI models, agents etc but here what I am learning is data science topics such as ML, EDA etc and prompting. I can do it myself prompt GPT for everything and get the analysis done, get ML model ready. I have wasted my money on the course which does not teach any new technique/technology. You could have bare minimum taught in the course to integrate github in jupyter notebook to do analysis. Highly disappointed!

By Narcisio Campango Cacholo on 2/18/2026

The course has opened new doors for me.I hope i will be able to interact with my colleagues in the rapidly changing world as far as Artificial Intelligence is concerned.

By Udemy User on 2/8/2026

Amazing course and instructor. The course organization and progression is outstanding with real world examples and immediate application. Professor Ryan Ahmed knows how to make the unfamiliar become understood.
