The courses

What each course teaches.

Who it is for, what you learn and what you build. The same outline runs online and in person.

OnlineIn person

AI at work for small teams

Who it is for

Owners and teams who write, answer and organise all day, and want AI to take the routine part. No coding needed.

What you will learn

  1. Where AI helps in a normal week, and where it gets in the way
  2. Writing clear instructions for the tasks you repeat
  3. Working with your own documents: what to share and what to keep out
  4. Checking the result before it goes to a customer
  5. Setting simple team rules for using AI

What you will build

  • A shared set of working instructions for your team's real tasks
  • A one-page team policy for using AI
OnlineIn person

Build your first AI agent

Who it is for

People who already use AI and want it to run a task on its own. A little comfort with spreadsheets or email rules helps; coding is not required.

What you will learn

  1. What an agent is, and how it differs from a chat window
  2. Breaking a repeat task into steps a machine can follow
  3. Giving an agent the tools it needs, and nothing more
  4. The approval step: what it decides and what a person decides
  5. Reading the log, so you can see what it did and why

What you will build

  • One working agent for a task from your own work, such as sorting a shared inbox or drafting a weekly report
  • An approval step, so nothing goes out without a person
OnlineIn person

An AI front desk for your website

Who it is for

Owners of a small business site who answer the same questions by email or phone every week.

What you will learn

  1. Choosing the questions an assistant should answer, and the ones it must hand over
  2. Feeding it your real content, so it answers from facts
  3. Handing a visitor to a person, with the conversation attached
  4. Testing it with the questions your customers really ask
  5. Privacy: what visitors are told and what is kept

What you will build

  • A working assistant on a test page of your site
  • A handover to your email for anything it cannot answer
