The curriculum

The twelve modules we pull from.

Half-day and full-day workshops draw from this 12-module curriculum and tune it to your industry — your team leaves using AI for their actual job.

Beginner AI

Weeks 1–4

What AI Actually Is

LLMs in plain English. What the training data is. What it can do, what it can't, and the honest version of how it works under the hood.

The Major Models

Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, Perplexity. Where each one shines, where each one falls down, and which one to reach for.

III

Cost, Access, and Setup

Free tiers vs paid. Pinning Claude in your browser. Desktop apps, mobile apps, voice mode. Get fully set up in under an hour.

Daily Life Uses

Email. Research. Planning. Document work. Voice mode. The boring everyday stuff that compounds into hours back per week.

Next Level AI

Weeks 5–8

Business Uses

Customer service replies. Marketing copy. Spreadsheet work. SOPs. Hiring documents. Real things you do every day, faster.

Prompt Engineering

The structure of a strong prompt. Master prompts you reuse. How to iterate when the first answer isn't right.

VII

Custom Projects and Knowledge

Custom GPTs and Claude Projects. Feed the model your own docs, SOPs, and voice so it answers like it works for you.

VIII

Documents, Data, and Spreadsheets

Go deeper on real work files. Clean and analyze spreadsheets, summarize long documents, and turn messy data into decisions.

Advanced AI

Weeks 9–12

Agents and Automation

What an agent actually is. Claude Code, computer use, Zapier and Make. The difference between hype and what's shipping right now.

Workflows and Integrations

Connect the tools you already use. Trigger AI from email, forms, and your CRM so work happens without you in the loop.

Building Your Own Tools

Stand up a custom assistant tuned to your business. No-code and low-code builds you can ship and hand to your team.

XII

Capstone Build

Build a meeting summarizer, a lead-response auto-drafter, or a research assistant — a working AI tool tied to your business.
