💼 Zekai Challenge · Professional Services Edition

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

Your clients are not buying documents. They are buying somebody who is accountable for whether the document is right. One 5-minute drill a day on scoping, research, analysis and delivery, built around an obligation most firms have not noticed yet.

Free forever · No app to install · Built on the Zekai Audit of 1,900+ tested AI tools

The Obligation

0

and supporting AI literacy in your firm became a legal duty.

Article 4 of the EU AI Act entered into application on 2 February 2025. Providers and deployers must take measures to support AI literacy among staff — and among contractors, service providers and others acting on the firm behalf.

The Relief

0

certificates you need to prove it.

The Commission is explicit: no certificate is required, no AI officer is mandated, no governance board is needed, and no specific level of literacy must be guaranteed. An internal record of the training and guidance you provided is what is expected.

The Enforcement

0

and national authorities started supervising it in August.

Enforcement sits with national market surveillance authorities under national law, and it is proportionate. Action becomes considerably more likely where an incident traces back to a lack of training and guidance.

The plan is simple.

No course platform. No 6-hour videos. A daily drill you run in any AI assistant — built around your own engagements, your own clients and your own firm, and around the principle that a named human stays accountable for every deliverable.

Questions before you start

Is this really free?
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.
Will this replace my professional judgement?
No, and the challenge is built to make that explicit. Day 9 forbids the model from adding a single finding or recommendation you did not supply. Day 3 requires every claim to carry a source you can open. Day 12 builds a review layer specifically for the ways AI-assisted documents fail. What you get faster is the preparation, the structuring, the drafting from your own outline and the admin. What stays yours is the judgement, because that is the only thing a client cannot buy anywhere else.
What is the literacy rule?
Installed on day 6, and most firms have not noticed it. Article 4 of the EU AI Act entered into application on 2 February 2025 and requires providers and deployers of AI systems to take measures to support AI literacy among their staff. The European Commission is explicit that this reaches beyond employees to people acting on the organisation behalf — contractors, service providers and clients — and that a firm whose staff use a general assistant to write or translate text is in scope and should inform them about specific risks such as hallucination. National market surveillance authorities began supervising it in August 2026.
Does the EU AI Act really apply to my small firm?
Possibly, and the threshold is lower than people expect. The obligation applies to deployers, not just developers, so simply using AI systems in your work brings you into scope. It applies to firms outside the EU where the AI system is placed on the Union market, used in the Union, or its use has an impact on people located in the EU. The reassuring part is what is not required: the Commission states plainly that no certificate is needed, no AI officer is mandated, no governance board is required, and no specific level of literacy must be guaranteed. Enforcement is proportionate. Nothing here is legal advice — confirm what applies to your firm.
What do I tell a client who asks if we used AI?
Day 24 is entirely about that conversation, because clients are starting to ask and improvising the answer sounds bad. The firms handling it well say the same four things: what we use it for and what we never use it for, what happens to your information, how our review process keeps a named human accountable for every deliverable, and why the fee reflects judgement and accountability rather than typing time. Day 24 has you write that as a paragraph you could say out loud, plus a short version for an engagement letter — including the answer to the follow-up question about whether it should therefore cost less.
Why can’t I see all 30 drills at once?
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.
Do I need any AI experience?
Zero. Day 1 assumes you have never written a deliberate prompt. By day 14 you will have a review layer that catches the specific ways AI-assisted documents fail.
What if I miss a day?
Life happens, and so does an unplanned stop. 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.
I work in a different profession. Is there a challenge for that?
This is the Professional Services Edition. Doctors, lawyers, accountants, teachers, farmers, video editors and many more are already running theirs, with more coming. Sign up and we’ll tell you when yours goes live.
