Job description

Teach live online classes on the deep research mode that several AI assistants offer: framing a research question, steering the plan, and reading the long report it returns with a critical eye. You teach in English from a ready-made class kit, remotely, and you are paid for each class you teach.

What the work is for

YPAI Learn offers live classes on AI research tools for people at work. Your classes take learners from a vague question to a scoped brief a deep research mode can follow, and from a finished report to one they have checked source by source, and teach them to separate what the sources show from what the report infers.

The work

• Teach the live class “Plan a deep research question and steer the research plan”, 90 minutes, from the class kit.
• Teach the live class “Check a deep research report claim by claim before you share it”, 90 minutes, from the class kit.
• Show live how to write a research brief with scope, time range, source types and output format, and how to answer the tool's clarifying questions or edit its plan.
• Walk learners through a finished report: list its main claims, open the source behind each one, and mark claims that are unsupported, outdated or overstated.
• Help learners whose report wanders off the question, rests on a few sources or cites pages that do not load, and show how to rerun it with a tighter brief.

What to expect

• Classes are given live online in English to learners worldwide, and the application includes a question on other languages you teach in.
• Each class kit has a minute-by-minute plan, slides, speaker notes, a demo of a full research run with its report, and a backup recording, since a run can take many minutes.
• You teach remotely on your own computer, with a stable connection, camera and microphone, and access to at least one assistant with a deep research mode.
• The instructor test for a class comes first; you pass it before teaching that class.
• Before a teaching assignment starts, you sign an instructor agreement. It covers pay, confidentiality and how class material may be used.
• Each invitation states the class times and the price learners pay, and you see both before you accept.

What you bring

• A report you produced with a deep research mode for real work, with notes on what you checked and what you changed.
• Experience teaching research methods, fact-checking, editing or supervising analysts.
• Patience with learners who trust a long report because it looks thorough.

You need

• Regular use of the deep research mode in assistants such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity or Microsoft Copilot.
• A working method for checking sources: reading the cited page, finding the original and judging its date and author.
• Fluent spoken English, the language the classes are taught in.
• 18 years or older.

Good to know

• If your employment terms ask you to get outside work approved, do it before you accept a teaching assignment.
• How much you teach rises and falls with class demand; each invitation gives the expected time commitment.
• Applying has no cost, and there is no YPAI Learn course you must buy or take.
