INTRO

AI Basics

Start using AI.

Plan this training

Stop wondering where to start. Bring an everyday task and learn how to get useful help from AI, one conversation at a time.

A good fit when

You are new to AI and want help with everyday work.

Three places we can start

01

An easier first draft

Turn rough notes into a clear customer email. Adjust the tone, compare versions, and choose what actually sounds like you.

02

A clearer working day

Turn meeting notes into a checklist, summarize a document, or break an unfamiliar task into manageable steps.

03

A better first question

Explain what you are doing and what help you need. Learn when to add context, verify a claim, or keep information out of the chat.

Skills and techniques

Starting a conversation; basic context; follow-up questions; everyday drafting; recognizing uncertainty; approved tools and safe sample data.

What you take away

Your first useful prompts, an everyday task completed, and a simple safety checklist.

Introductory, instructor-led session. Bring a laptop; we agree on an appropriate tool before the session.

Confidence comes before complexity. This is not a coding class, a tool subscription, or professional advice.

01

BEGINNER

AI as a Thought Partner

Think with AI.

Plan this training

Give your ideas a useful second perspective. Learn to work through decisions and documents with AI, rather than accepting the first answer.

A good fit when

You use AI occasionally and want more consistent results.

Three places we can start

01

Think through a decision

Compare a vendor proposal, hiring plan, or business opportunity. Separate the evidence from assumptions and identify what to verify.

02

Draft, then make it better

Have AI interview you before creating a job description, procedure, or proposal. Read the first draft, challenge it, and refine it.

03

Give every conversation a job

Create a focused strategist, customer, or technical reviewer. Keep unrelated work separate and deliberately pass along the relevant context.

Skills and techniques

Goals and constraints; interview-me prompting; focused personas; focused conversations; iterative drafting; testing the strongest objections; documenting decisions; verification.

What you take away

A reusable interview → draft → challenge → refine process, applied to your own work.

Hands-on workshop using a decision, document, or planning task from your business.

A persona is a perspective, not a credential. Legal and financial drafts still need appropriate independent review.

02

INTERMEDIATE

AI as an Assistant

Give AI actual work.

Plan this training

Build an assistant workflow around your documents, priorities, or business data. Learn to give clear instructions and check the finished work.

A good fit when

You already work with AI and want to assign clearly defined tasks.

Three places we can start

01

Prepare your working day

Review an approved inbox and calendar, spot possible missed follow-ups, and prepare a priority brief. Draft responses for your review.

02

Produce a real deliverable

Compare sample invoices and payments, analyze a workbook, create a presentation, or build a simple website. Check the result against the source.

03

Set up AI for the business

Map company-owned accounts, employee licenses, data rules, connectors, and onboarding/offboarding. Define what each specialized assistant can access.

Skills and techniques

Approved file analysis; document and presentation creation; reusable assistants; explicit context handoffs; supported desktop actions; connector permissions; account ownership; managing access when people join or leave.

What you take away

A repeatable assistant workflow, a finished task, and an access checklist.

Private team workshop with guided practice. We confirm licenses, access, and sample data before connecting anything.

Features depend on your tools, subscriptions, permissions, and policies. Revoking access cannot erase copies someone already retained.

03

ADVANCED

AI as an Employee

Delegate a responsibility.

Plan this training

Start with one responsibility, not twenty. Learn how to build and evaluate an AI role that knows what it may do, when to stop, and when to ask a person.

A good fit when

You already assign AI tasks and want to manage an ongoing workflow.

Three places we can start

01

Keep follow-ups from going stale

Prototype an overdue-invoice monitor that checks approved records, drafts reminders, and routes exceptions to a person.

02

Watch for a meaningful change

Check an agreed source for a filing or status change, verify the evidence, and prepare a defined next action.

03

Build in a second perspective

Give a proposal drafter and a skeptical customer reviewer separate jobs. Reconcile objections, limit revision loops, and route the final decision to a human.

Skills and techniques

Narrow roles; scheduled and event-driven work; state and tools; least privilege; sub-agents; adversarial review; evaluation cases; logs; budgets; escalation; failure recovery.

What you take away

A defined AI role, a supervised prototype, and a plan for review and approval.

A scoped working lab, often across multiple sessions. Live deployment and production integration are separate engagements.

“Employee” is a delegation metaphor, not a promise of human-level judgment. Agent agreement is not proof, and a successful demo is not deployment approval.

SPECIALTY TRACKS

Beyond the foundations.

Focused engagements for teams ready to go further. Scope, prerequisites, and deliverables agreed together.
