AI Without the Hype: Use the Tools. Keep Your Brain.
Cut through the AI noise. Leave with tools and habits that make you more effective without sacrificing critical thought. 6 seats. 2 hours.
Most AI workshops will promise to 10x your productivity. This isn't that.
What this workshop offers is something harder to find and more useful: a clear-eyed, practical way to think about AI that you can actually apply to your work on Monday morning. No hype. No doom. No silver bullets.
You're already using AI — or you're watching everyone around you use it and wondering if you're falling behind. Either way, you've probably noticed that the tools can as easily create new problems as solve old ones. More tabs. More context switching. More noise. Work that looks productive but isn't really yours.
This two-hour workshop is for professionals who want to use AI to think sharper — not just work faster — and who aren't willing to outsource their judgment to a chatbot.
What you'll walk away with:
- A single, practical question that will change how you evaluate every AI tool you use
- Hands-on time with tools worth actually knowing — including Claude, NotebookLM, Wispr Flow, and Gemini
- A clear sense of where AI adds genuine value in your workflow and where it quietly gets in the way
- A one-page reference guide you keep — built around your own critical thinking, not someone else's hype
- The confidence to make your own decisions about these tools going forward
