Spring Cohort Results · May 2026

Stop watching the AI revolution. Start running it.

A four-day live AI training that gets working professionals using AI on their real work. Not exercises. Not someday. By the final session.

What it is

A live, virtual training for the person in the middle: a real job, real deadlines, no time to learn AI from scratch. Not for developers. Not dumbed down. Four 90-minute sessions over four days.

What you walk away with

  • A knowledge base you can take into any AI tool
  • A workspace connected to your tools with a Project
  • How to create and use Skills, your reusable shortcuts
  • Two recurring workflows running by the last day
  • A weekly routine and a cheat sheet you'll actually use
Real builds from the room: inbox automation, weekly briefs, research one-pagers, job-search and outreach systems.
