Work Smarter with AI

This class helps you build a real foundation with AI — not just click around in ChatGPT. You'll get a walkthrough of the major tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini), what each one does well, and how to start using them in your everyday work. But what makes this class different is the human-centered angle. We'll talk about what AI is great at and, just as importantly, what skills are still uniquely yours: critical thinking, creativity, judgment, empathy. You'll leave with hands-on experience, a clear sense of where AI fits into your work, and the confidence to use it thoughtfully — not just reactively. No tech background needed.

Please bring a laptop to this class. You'll be actively using AI tools during class, so please have a free ChatGPT account set up before arriving. A notebook or preferred method for note-taking is also recommended.

This class is perfect for individuals who are curious about AI but have not had the time (or the right guide) to get started. If you have heard the buzz but are not sure what these tools actually do, or if you have tried AI a few times but want a more grounded, human-centered approach, this is your starting point.
