Three hours. No coding, no jargon. Learn to use AI assistants to save hours every week — at work and at home. The skills transfer to any tool you choose.
No hype, no doom. Here's an honest picture of where AI assistants are today — what they're genuinely good at, and where they still fall short. We'll explore this live during the workshop.
AI assistants have a knowledge cutoff. They don't know what happened yesterday, and they can't access your private files or accounts unless you explicitly connect them.
AI confidently states things that are wrong — sometimes subtly, sometimes wildly. You are the fact-checker. Treat every claim as a draft, not a source.
AI can lay out options, weigh trade-offs, and surface considerations. But judgment — context, values, relationships, risk — that stays with you.
AI can draft a legal letter, but it's not a lawyer. It can suggest a medical explanation, but it's not a doctor. Use it to start, not to finish.
What you type into an AI assistant may be stored, reviewed, or used for training. Sharing sensitive business or personal information without understanding the risks is a mistake we'll teach you to avoid.
The quality of what AI produces depends almost entirely on what you give it. A great prompt gets a great result. A vague prompt gets filler. You're not being replaced — you're becoming more valuable as the editor and director.
The line between "can" and "can't" shifts fast. But the fundamentals — clear thinking, good prompting, human judgment — don't change. That's what we teach.
They teach you what AI is. We teach you how to use it — on your actual work, with your actual problems. Here's what tends to hold people back:
Every week there's a new AI tool, a new name, a new thing you're supposed to know. Most people tune out — not because they can't learn, but because the signal-to-noise ratio is terrible. We filter it down to what actually matters.
You tried an AI assistant and got a generic, confident, unhelpful answer. So you gave up. The problem isn't the tool — it's the input. We'll show you why, and fix it in the first hour.
You've heard stories about data leaks, AI making things up, people getting in trouble at work for using it wrong. These are real concerns. We address them head-on — what's safe, what isn't, and how to protect yourself.
Coworkers use AI to finish tasks in minutes. Your nephew talks about it at every family dinner. You're not behind because you can't learn — you're behind because nobody showed you in a way that made sense. That's what we do.
Each module builds on the last. By the end, you'll have used AI on a real task from your own work or life.
Before anything else, we clear the air. No technical deep-dives — just the one idea that changes everything about how you interact with AI.
AI is no longer just about prompts — it's about clear communication. The difference between a useless answer and a great one is rarely the tool. It's how well you explained what you wanted. We teach a simple structure anyone can use, and show you how to think about instructions the same way you'd brief a capable person.
This is the core of the workshop. You bring something you actually need to do. We help you do it with AI.
Confidence without recklessness. Know the boundaries before you cross them.
You don't need to be in tech to benefit from AI. Here's how people in different situations are using what you'll learn — pick the track that fits you, and we'll tailor your hands-on practice during Module 3.
For Office WorkersFor Business OwnersFor Creatives & FreelancersFor Job SeekersFor Students & Lifelong LearnersFor Everyday LifeThe workshop covers what you can use today. But it's worth understanding where this is heading — because the shift is already underway, and it changes what "using AI" actually means.
Right now, AI assistants work like a very capable intern in a chat window. You ask, it answers. You refine, it revises. The back-and-forth is the workflow — and for most tasks, that's enough.
AI assistants are starting to do more than talk. They can browse the web, read your calendar, search your emails, draft documents directly, and take actions in software on your behalf. You describe what you want — the AI figures out the steps and uses the tools to get there.
Instead of one question and one answer, you'll set a goal and an AI agent will plan, execute, and report back. “Research these three competitors, compare their pricing, and draft a summary report.” The agent breaks that into steps, uses tools along the way, and delivers a finished result — with you reviewing and approving.
As AI moves from answering questions to completing tasks, the human role changes. You become less of a typist and more of a director — defining goals, setting boundaries, reviewing work, and making decisions. The fundamentals stay the same: clear thinking, good instructions, human judgment. But the leverage compounds.
AI searches the live web and synthesizes current information
AI reads files, emails, and calendars you connect
AI runs calculations, analyzes data, generates charts
AI drafts emails, creates events, fills spreadsheets
AI breaks complex goals into tasks and sequences them
AI reads screenshots, diagrams, and photos you share
The workshop won't set up agentic workflows for you — that's a more advanced stage. But you'll leave with the foundation that everything ahead is built on: clear instructions, critical review, and knowing what the machine is actually doing when it works.

Hi — I'm [Your Name].
I'm not an AI researcher. I'm not a software engineer. I'm someone who uses AI assistants every single day to write, research, analyze, and get things done faster. Over the past year, I've shown colleagues, friends, and family members how to go from intimidated to confident — usually in under an hour.
This workshop is what I wish existed when I was starting out: practical, human-paced, and focused on real tasks rather than theory. No background in tech required. No question is too basic.
I live in Montreal and run these sessions in both English and French.
I was genuinely afraid of AI. After three hours I used it to summarize a 40-page report at work. My manager was impressed.
The analogy about AI being like an intern — that one idea changed everything. I finally understand what I'm working with.
Worth every dollar. I saved about five hours in my first week using what I learned. The prompt cheat sheet alone was worth it.
If you can use email and a web browser, you're fully qualified. We start from zero and build from there. Many participants have no technical background at all.
A laptop — any kind, Mac or PC. We'll use free online tools during the workshop. No software to install, no paid subscriptions required.
Both. The instructor is bilingual and sessions are run in whichever language the group prefers, or a mix. Materials are available in both.
Join the waitlist and we'll let you know about the next one. Workshops run monthly, and waitlist members get priority registration and early-bird pricing.
We cover this thoroughly in Module 4. You'll learn exactly what's safe to share, what to keep private, and how to use AI tools without putting yourself or your employer at risk.
Yes. We offer private sessions for teams of up to 20, on-site at your office, customized to your industry and use cases. Reach out for a tailored quote.
