Work Smarter with AI

Most people are getting fine answers out of AI.This class is about getting great ones the first time. In two hours you will learn the 5 Cs of prompting that get you a usable answer on the first try instead of the fifth, the reasoning and deep research modes most people never touch, and where AI quietly gets things wrong so you can catch it before it costs you. Abigail Merrill of GrowthUP Partners, who has over 15 years of experience and has taught AI literacy to over 600 students, will walk you through live demos and practical use cases you can apply immediately. You will work on a real task from your own job or life using an LLM (Claude, ChatGPT, etc.) and leave with concrete next steps for what else to hand off to AI next. Whether you are brand new to AI or already experimenting, this is your secure foundation to working with AI the smart way.

A laptop and an account on your preferred LLM choice: ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, or Gemini. Any one works, and we can set one up in class too. Optional: Bring a real task from your work you'd like to spend less time on as a practical example.

Anyone curious about AI, from complete beginners to people already experimenting. Especially good for people looking to upskill themselves, people leaders, and anyone not sure where to start using AI tools. No prior experience needed.
