Who is this course for?

This is for you if:

  • You lead strategy, campaigns or content and want sharper thinking from AI as well as faster workflows
  • You want to push back against AI slop and use AI without blending in with everyone else
  • You’re not afraid to push AI or to have it poke holes in your own thinking/ideas
  • You use today’s chatbots, but you’re keen to explore Projects/Gems/Agents to speed up some of your routine tasks
  • You’re keen to know about more autonomous AI agents and how they might be able to help – but you want to use them safely and wisely.

What to Expect

This is a practical session with live demos, walk-throughs and two exercises where you'll try things for yourself. Forget default setups or taking the first AI answer, this is a chance to uncover fresh insights, push AI chatbots for better outputs – and bolster your own thinking in the process. You'll come away with plenty of new techniques, a workbook of prompts and exercises, plus tips on how to use AI while preserving your amazing brain.
