Our Generative AI for Work courses are LIVE!

Generative AI is a tool – it has massive knowledge but zero judgment.

That is why we made the Generative AI for Work short courses.

They aren’t 20-hour theory dumps covering 50 different use cases.

Each course is short and focuses on doing one specific task better: writing emails faster, running better meetings, negotiating salary, preparing for interviews, or planning your career path.

The goal is simple – handle routine work efficiently so you can focus on what only humans can do.

In the course you get:

Short videos showing you how to get the right responses from Generative AI.

We show prompts that you can tailor to your needs.
We give you the tools to apply what we teach in any related topic, not just our examples.

Live AI role plays, so you can practice 1-1 conversations and feel comfortable with them.

Only in Salary, Interview, and Leadership courses:
• 20 Role Plays in the Salary course (both for new and current salary talks).
• 16 Role Plays in the Interview course, so you can refine your answers to the most common questions.
• 4 Role Plays in the Leadership course, so you can work on your 1-1 talks for both good and not so good talks.

Multiple Downloadable PDFs.

• A course specific handout with what we show you in the videos, and do's and don'ts.
• How to write better prompts for the output you need.
• How to spot mistakes, hallucinations, and how to course correct them.
