When
🗓 May 7, 2026, 12 p.m. ET
💻 Online and recorded
Most people are only scratching the surface of what AI tools can do — not because the tools aren't powerful, but because nobody taught them how to use them well. This hands-on workshop changes that.
In a single session, you'll learn how to level up your prompts, build reusable context files that save you time, and create consistent sources of truth across your AI workflow. Whether you use Claude, Gemini, ChatGPT, or Copilot, you'll walk away with practical skills you can apply immediately.
What you'll learn
- How to write prompts that actually get what you need
- How to use context files to give AI tools the right background
- How to build sources of truth for more consistent, reliable outputs
- How to apply these skills across Claude, Gemini, ChatGPT, and Copilot
