1-Day Crash Course: Learn AI The Vermont Way

What is it? A one day crash course on how to use AI taught by a local Vermonter that covers everything from AI safety and defense, to how to program your own "bot" (known as a custom "Agent" in AI speak). Focusing on how YOU want to use AI - not the other way around (Vermont style).

Who is it for? Anyone at the beginner or intermediate stages of working with AI (even if you're a master you may get some secret tips you won't find elsewhere). Students, parents, employees, and business owners who know you need to "get this AI thing" but are stuck at step one? This is for you.

What will I get? You'll get a day of non-intimidating, in-person, hands-on learning (bring your computer!) with me including live demos on:

• How to prompt to get what you want
• How to make better images with AI
• How to incorporate AI into your workflow
• How to build your own custom "bot" or AI Agent
• How to prevent your code from being stolen
• How to prevent AI from "housekeeping" and changing your code
• How to safeguard your private info and chats
• PLUS a bonus session on how to go into your phone settings and make sure you are not being tracked or recorded without knowing it
  
  You will also walk away with:
• My secret "housekeeping code" to protect your work from erasure
• My secret "safeguard code" to protect your backend instructions
• "Sir Prompt IQ" - my AI Agent that helps you write better prompts
  
  Our day will go from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm, with an hour break for lunch.
  
  An open Q&A session will be provided at the end for anyone who wishes to stay and get specific problems or questions addressed.
  
  My goal is: At the end of the day, you will go from mystified and frustrated with this AI thing, to confident, secure in your mastery, and most of all having FUN working with it! AI is not really scary when you know what to do (and not to do) with it.
• Plus, if you're an employee, this class with make you look like a pro and help you say you are "up-to-date" on the AI thing (job security, yay)! If you're a business owner and like the class, we can talk about training for your whole team, to bring them up to speed.
  
  PLEASE NOTE: This workshop will be held at my residence in Brattleboro, Vermont. Address will be shared with registrants only.
