Four parts. All laptops open.
Half the time is us explaining what AI is in plain English. The other half is you using it in the room, on your own work, with us looking over your shoulder so the bad habits never form.
AI in plain English
Strip out the hype. What “large language model” actually means. Why it answers in the way it does. The difference between ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Copilot in a sentence each. No history-of-AI lecture — just enough to know what you’re looking at when you open the chat box.
When to trust it — and when not
The things AI is genuinely good at (summarising, drafting, mirror-checking your thinking) and the things it is genuinely bad at (facts it hasn’t been told, anything with a date in it, anything where being confidently wrong is dangerous). We show you the failure modes so you spot them before they go out the door.
The day-to-day toolkit
The bit you’ll come back to. Mirror-analysis on your own writing. Prepping for difficult conversations. Sense-checking your numbers. Writing like a human, not like an AI. Drafting emails, briefs, board papers, agendas, post-meeting notes. We run each one live, on your work.
Privacy, slop, and the dependency
What not to put in. What “AI slop” looks like and how to spot it in your inbox. Why pasting AI output straight into client work is a slow brand-damage problem. How to use AI as a sparring partner without letting it think for you.
Sceptics. Beginners. Suspicious.
You don’t need to know anything to come. You don’t need to want to use it. The workshop works for the curious, the worried and the people whose team has started leaning on AI in ways that make them nervous.
- → Owners and directors who’ve been told they should “get into AI”
- → Marketing teams already using it, badly, who want to use it well
- → Anyone suspicious of AI who wants to make up their own mind
- → Whole teams — 4 to 10 people, run on-site if you prefer
Half a day. Hands on.
Four hours, in person, laptops open. We work through each module by doing it, on your actual emails, your actual board pack, your actual draft. By the end you’ve used AI to make something real, and you know which bit of it you trust.
AI without the slop.
The headline outcome: you stop being intimidated by it, and you stop using it badly. The doc you go home with is a practical toolkit you’ll open the next time you have to write something hard.
Pick up the phone. Or write.
No form on this one. AI workshops we run individually or for teams, our price and dates depend on group size. Pick whichever door suits and we’ll come back with options.
