Intro to AI for the Curious
Stop reading about AI. Use it on your actual work in 90 minutes.
We don’t pre-write the lesson plan.
The application isn’t a filter — it’s the brief. Tell us what you actually do, what you wish AI would handle, and what you want to walk out with. We read every answer and the three things we build together come from your responses.
The curriculum locks once applications close. Until then, the specifics are still being shaped.
If AI could just do three things for you, what would they be?
The three most annoying or repetitive things in your week. Don't overthink — first instinct.
Some people leave fired up. Some leave restless. Here’s who’s who.
You’ll fit right in
- ·You've signed up for ChatGPT or Claude but mostly use it for emails — and you suspect you're leaving 80% on the table
- ·You manage or lead a team and need to actually feel what AI can and can't do (not read another think-piece)
- ·You're a marketer, founder, analyst, designer, teacher, operator, or anyone-with-a-day-job who wants to free up 5+ hours a week
- ·You're curious about handing the boring half of your week to AI — but every tutorial assumes you already know what 'API' means
- ·You've tried before, hit a wall, and gave up — and you want a second pass with someone in the room
Honestly? I keep getting the same question — from friends, from people at coffee shops, from old colleagues who reach out out of nowhere: 'I keep hearing about AI but I have no idea where to actually START using it for my own work.' This session is the answer. It's not for engineers (the AI Tinkerers meetups are for them). It's for the marketer copy-pasting CRM data, the manager rewriting the same Friday update for the seventh week in a row, the parent designing a school project at midnight, the analyst stuck in Excel, the founder hand-editing every pitch deck — anyone with a real job who wants AI to take the boring half of it off their plate. Bring something you actually do during your week. We wire AI into it together, in the room, with everyone helping. You leave doing one thing differently — not knowing more theory about it. — Ali
Bring three things, get back a session built around you.
- A laptop you can actually open and type on
- An existing ChatGPT or Claude account (free tier is fine)
- 30 minutes of pre-work the day before — we'll email you a link
