Lalapanzi.ai is an independent New Zealand AI learning platform — Free AI Training for New Zealand — running 21 short, practical courses on how to actually use generative AI in your day-to-day work. It is not built by RANZ, but Lalapanzi gives every current RANZ member a complimentary Pro subscription.
What's in Pro
- All 11 advanced courses — the paid-tier content covering deeper prompt engineering, building AI workflows, AI safety, and "vibe coding" (using AI to write small tools)
- AI learning assistant — chat-based tutor that answers questions about the courses
- Weekly content updates — new lessons added each week
- Cancel any time (you can't really, because RANZ members don't pay)
Plus the always-free public courses (sign-in not required)
- 10 free courses covering AI fundamentals, the major tools, prompt engineering basics, AI safety, and an intro to "vibe coding"
Value
- Public Pro pricing: NZ$10/month or NZ$100/year
- For RANZ members: $0 — covered by Lalapanzi as a partnership benefit
Who it's built for
Tradespeople, small-business owners and frontline staff who want to use AI to do the boring office work faster — quotes, emails, scope-of-work, social posts, scheduling, complaint replies — not data scientists or developers.
