I teach rooms to actually use AI.

Stop watching the AI revolution. Start running it.

I'm Hannah Laut. I speak on stages, run live workshops, and join programs and companies as a fractional AI instructor. Ten years inside emerging tech taught me how to explain new technology to skeptical rooms, so they leave actually using it.

Most rooms don't have an AI tools problem. They have an adoption problem. The licenses get bought, the demo lands, and six weeks later the work looks exactly the same. I teach the version that sticks.

On stage.

Keynotes, panels, fireside chats, and internal events on AI and emerging tech. Pricing depends on travel, audience, and whether you want a workshop attached.

What does working together look like?
It starts with a short call so I can hear who's in the room and what they need. From there: a talk, a workshop, a series, or an ongoing fractional teaching role. I recommend what fits, not the biggest version of it.
How does pricing work?
Priced against what the work unlocks, the hours it returns and the risk it removes, not the number of sessions. We scope it on the intro call once I understand what's actually on the table.
Will you travel?
Yes. I'm based in Denver and book workshops, speaking, and on-site engagements anywhere a flight goes.
What tools do you teach?
Whatever stack makes sense for the room: Claude Cowork, ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Granola, custom GPTs and projects, plus the workflow scaffolding between them. Tool-agnostic and outcome-loyal.
02 / Workshops + fractional teaching

Bring me in
to teach your room.

Teams, programs, and member groups bring me in when they want people actually using AI, not just licensed for it. I teach the tools on the room's real work, so people leave with something running, not a page of notes.

Rooms I've taught: executives, founders, and working teams who came in skeptical and left with something running.

Free · A 5-minute build

Your First AI Coworker.

You open a blank chat and freeze, then re-explain your whole business every session. This is the coworker that already knows it, so you stop paying the context tax. A guided build you copy in one click, not another list of prompts to figure out later.

  • A coworker that already knows what you sell, who you sell to, and how you sound.
  • Your business captured once in a reusable brief, so you stop re-explaining it every session.
  • Three workflows running on day one: brain-dump to a plan, ten-minute call prep, and the thing you keep procrastinating.
  • Built in Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini. Bring whichever you already pay for.

No spam. Unsubscribe in one click.

It's a coworker you direct, not a robot that runs your business while you sleep. That's the honest version, and it's still the best 5 minutes you'll spend this week.

Almost there. Check your inbox, click confirm, and your build downloads right away. While you wait, the natural next step is Running Start →
04 / About
on stage, Consensus 2026

Ten years explaining new tech.

For ten years my job has been explaining new, intimidating technology to rooms that were skeptical of it, and getting them to use it anyway. First crypto. Now AI.

I helped build one of crypto's first professional certifications at C4, from curriculum to exam, and I'm back with C4 now defining the certification standards for AI security alongside CSOs. I built the experiential marketing function at Serotonin and ran go-to-market across PayPal, Bain Capital, Polygon, Protocol Labs, Sotheby's, and CAA. I was CMO at ETHDenver, where I started as the first marketing hire and sat on the founding board, and I briefed White House officials with Coinbase on crypto policy.

Now I do it on stages and in classrooms. Keynotes and panels on where AI is actually working. Live workshops where everyone builds on their own work. Fractional instructor roles inside programs and companies that want their people using the tools, not just licensed for them.

The thread across all of it: taking something new and hard and making it usable for the people who have to live with it, in a way that feels manageable instead of threatening.
