From zero to AI master.
30 days. 5 minutes a day.

Yes. Zekai is an independent AI tools directory — the challenge is how we introduce people to the tools we test. Some tool pages contain affiliate links; the challenge itself costs nothing and requires no purchase.

Yes, if you let it. A language model predicts plausible text, and a number is text — so when it lacks a figure it supplies one that looks right, correctly formatted and completely fabricated, and it will not warn you. Day 6 is built entirely around the rule that prevents this: the model may transform figures you supply and may never produce one of its own. That rule then runs through every remaining drill, and day 16 teaches you to build the audit trail behind any figure you publish.

Not unreleased results, deal information, or anything material and non-public. Every drill that touches real data carries an anonymisation instruction, and day 7 has you write down your own red lines before you need them. Day 28 turns that into a one-page policy for your team. Deloitte found 43% of CFOs cite insufficient visibility into how AI is actually being used as a governance problem — the fix starts with writing your own rules down.

No. The Accounting, Bookkeeping & Tax edition covers close, reconciliation and compliance work. This is FP&A and corporate finance: variance decomposition, forecasting, scenario modelling, driver trees, business cases and decision support. They overlap very little. If you do both jobs, run both.

The opposite. Gartner’s finding is that productivity-focused AI has a ceiling while decision-focused AI does not. Every drill here targets the judgement half — decomposing a variance, red-teaming your own forecast, inverting a proposal to find what would have to be true, writing a memo that leads with its recommendation. Those are the parts that do not automate, and they are the parts finance is actually paid for.

Because binge-reading builds nothing. The challenge unlocks one drill per day from the day you sign — the way any skill gets built: daily reps. Day 1 is open right now so you can try it before committing.

Zero. Day 1 assumes you have never written a deliberate prompt. By day 14 you will be building driver trees and reforecasting from evidence rather than instinct.

Life happens, and so does close. The challenge is sequential, not strict-daily. Pick up where you left off; the certificate cares that you finish all 30, not that you were perfect.
