№ 02 — A three-part series

3-part series · starts Thu Jun 11

Practical AI for anyone.

A three-part series. One hour each, three nights, hands-on. Free. The premise: the hard part of AI isn't learning the tool — tools get easier every month. The hard part is changing how you work, and that's where the leverage is. Bring your laptop and a research question you actually care about; we'll use it live.

What you'll walk out with

Not theory. Practices you actually tried, on your own question.

Three nights. Live. On Google Meet.

You'll leave knowing which AI to reach for when, with a new habit, and with a workflow you built around your own research question — capped by an audio overview you can listen to on the drive home.

What we'll cover

Three beats across the series.

№ 01

Why the hard part isn't the tool

The tools get easier every month. The leverage is in how you work, not which app you open. We'll look at Claude, Gemini, ChatGPT, and DeepSeek — which one for which job — and the one habit that triples your output overnight.

№ 02

What thought-partner mode actually feels like

Often the best prompt is the one you don't write. We'll go multi-modal, plug AI into your browser, and feel what changes when AI thinks alongside you instead of just for you. Laptop open the whole time — every move, you try it yourself.

№ 03

Capstone — your research question, end to end

Bring a real problem you've been meaning to dig into. We'll refine it with Claude, run it through a multi-tool workflow, and turn it into an audio overview you can listen to on the drive home.

How it works

Demo → Try it → Take it home.

Hands-on the whole way. I demo a move, you try it on your laptop with your own question, you keep what you make. The capstone is yours: your research question, refined live, ending as an audio overview.

Who this is for

Curious, not convinced yet.

Anyone who's been meaning to figure out AI but hasn't found a way in that feels right. No certifications, no frameworks. Just practices that work, used in front of you, on a problem you brought.

Cohort One — Registration
