Participants leave able to brief, direct, and evaluate AI tools as part of their daily workflow, not just talk about them.
Key Structure
- Practice structuring real work requests (briefs, research, analysis) so AI tools return usable output the first time
- Learn to evaluate and edit AI-generated work with a professional's eye, not a novice's guesswork
- Build reusable prompt and workflow templates you keep and reuse after the session ends
