How doingit.today works
We do two things. We map how you work, then show you short lessons with Pip.
Try an example:
1We map your work
Paint a normal day.
Drag across the hours you spent on each thing. Then tap a block to say what it was and what you used. Roughly is fine.
Your Monday09:00 to 12:00
09:00
09:0010:0011:0012:00
Your Monday so far
2We map your work
See it as steps.
Tick the blocks that make one job. We draw it as steps, with the tool you use and the time each one takes, and mark the ones AI might help with. Nothing changes until you choose.
Your workflow:
Each time0m

3You learn to do it
Learn it with Pip.
Each step AI might help with gets a short lesson. Pip shows you once, a few cards explain it, you check you've got it, then you try it in the real tool. After that, the step is yours.
A friendly group that will meet every two weeks to learn tech and AI together, starting on Thursday 12 November. Each session takes one topic, in plain English, with time for your own questions.

What a lesson looks like
Every lesson is four short steps. Pip shows the idea, explains it, checks you've got it, then you try it for real.

Not sure where to start?
Tell us one job you do every week. We'll map it, and point you to the right course.
No. Courses start from zero, in plain English. If someone can send an email, they can start.
Do we have to buy new tools?
No. We start with the tools your team already uses, and only suggest a new one when it clearly helps.
What happens to our information?
It stays yours. We only use it to map your team's jobs and run your course. We never sell it, and we'll delete it whenever you ask. Read the short version.
How much does it cost?
It depends on the size of your team and how many jobs we map together. We'll give you a clear price on the call, before you agree to anything.

Start with “What is AI?”
Our first course. Each lesson takes 5 to 6 minutes, so it fits at the start of a class and leaves time to talk.
1
AI learns from examples
Why a computer learns “apple” from labelled pictures, not from rules.
2
ChatGPT guesses the next word
How a chatbot writes, one likely word at a time.
3
Why it sometimes makes things up
Why AI can sound sure and still be wrong, and how to check.

More on the way
Including how to stay safe with AI.
Made for the classroom
Made for people who are new to AI, so it works for pupils and teachers alike.

Done it .today?
Tell us about a job you now do with AI. We'd love to share it.
Lots of people hear about AI every day, but nobody shows them what it could do in their own week. So we start from the work you already do, and teach you to do the fiddly parts yourself.
I'm Jamil, and I build apps and websites for small businesses. I keep meeting clever, capable people who feel AI isn't for them, because nobody has shown them where it fits in their own work. doingit.today is my answer: start from a job you really do, and learn the AI parts one small step at a time.
What we believe
Plain English, alwaysNo jargon, and nothing assumed.

What we collect
Who we are
doingit.today and the doingit app at app.doingit.today are run by DoingIt Limited, a company registered in England and Wales (company number 17108880). Our registered office is 1st Floor, 57 Farringdon Road, London EC1M 3JB. We are responsible for the information they handle.
Your account
When you make an account, we keep your first name, your email address and your password, which is stored scrambled so nobody can read it. If you sign in with Google, Google shares your name, email address and profile picture with us. If a link that brought you here was tagged with where it was shared, such as LinkedIn, we note that too.
What you do in the app
We keep what you tell Pip about your work, the days you paint, the workflows you make, the lessons you start and finish, and your plan. We use them to run the app for you and to work out which lessons need to get better.
What you tell us
Lesson ratings, the courses you ask for, messages you send with Send feedback and how you heard about us are kept with your account. If you tell us why you're leaving when you delete your account, we keep that reason without your name or email.
Paying for Expert
Stripe handles payments. Your card details go straight to Stripe and we never see them. Stripe tells us whether your plan is active.
Deleting your account
Choose Account, then Delete my account, and we delete your account and everything above straight away. Stripe keeps its invoices and receipts, because the law says they must be kept.
Counting visits, without cookies
To see what works and what doesn't, we count how doingit.today and the app are used: which pages are opened, what is clicked, how far people scroll, which link brought them, and anything that goes wrong. We do this without cookies, and the code that counts a visit changes every day, so we can't follow you from one day to the next or tell who you are. PostHog does the counting for us, on its servers in Frankfurt, and the counts are kept for up to a year.
If you press Allow
A small notice asks whether you'll help us a little more. If you press Allow, PostHog keeps a cookie in your browser so we can see a whole visit, from the home page to signing up, and sometimes replay it to find where people get stuck. Everything you type is hidden in a replay. In the app, this is linked to your account by a number, never by your name or email.
Turning it off
Choose Turn off analytics at the bottom of any page, or in Account in the app, and we stop counting anything from that browser. We remember your choice with a small cookie that holds only that choice.
Booking a call and our emails
The book-a-call form and the newsletter box don't send anything themselves. They write your request into an email in your own email app, addressed to us, and nothing reaches us unless you press Send there. We then treat it like any other email you send us.
Who helps us
These companies run parts of doingit for us and may only use your information to do that: Vercel hosts both websites, Supabase stores accounts in London, Stripe takes payments, Resend sends the app's emails and PostHog counts visits. Some of them are in the United States, and they protect your information under the UK's rules for sending it abroad. Google is only involved if you choose to sign in with Google.
Our hosting provider's logs
Like every website, ours runs on a hosting provider's servers. When you load a page, those servers briefly record technical details such as your IP address, your browser and the page you asked for. This keeps the site working and safe, and the provider deletes these records after a short time.
When you email us
If you write to jamil@doingit.today, we use your email address and message only to reply to you. We delete them when we no longer need them, or sooner if you ask.
Links to other websites
Some pages link to free courses and photos on other websites. When you follow a link, that website's own privacy policy applies.
Your rights
Why we're allowed to
We use your account information to give you the app you signed up for. We count visits because improving doingit is a fair reason to, and the law allows it as long as you can turn it off. We only use the cookie for whole visits if you press Allow.
Ask us anything
You can ask what we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. Email jamil@doingit.today and we'll reply within a month.
Making a complaint
If you're unhappy with how we've handled your information, please tell us first. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.
When this page changes
If we change what we collect, we'll update this page first.
