AI Academy
AI classes and workshops for learners at all levels
Artificial intelligence is evolving quickly and changing the way we live and work. Whether you're a beginner looking for a place to start, an individual looking to use it more productively, or an advanced learner looking to automate with agents, the AI Academy guides learners from overwhelm to genuine confidence through practical, in-person classes and workshops.
Introduction to AI
Getting started and building confidence with artificial intelligence
There is a lot of noise and confusion around artificial intelligence, and for many people, a fair amount of anxiety too. This class cuts through both. It begins by addressing the most common myths about AI, then builds a clear and practical understanding of how it works. From there, participants explore today's most widely-used generative AI tools (ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude) with guided, low-pressure practice before choosing a real scenario from their own work or life to try. Participants leave with less anxiety, more curiosity, and the confidence to keep exploring.
Collaborating with Agents - Part 1
Getting Started with AI Agents
This first session begins with a background on generative AI and an introduction to AI agents. From there, participants use a secure sandbox to create their own autonomous agent and practice reverse prompting: guiding the agent to clarify goals, constraints, and missing information before acting. Participants leave with a working personal agent and a foundational understanding of how to direct it well.
Collaborating with Agents - Part 2
Building Agent Skills
Building on Part 1, this session focuses on giving agents the tools and direction they need to execute objectives consistently and well. Participants learn how to turn successful prompts into reusable skills, how to manage agent memory, and how to build and install custom skills that get reliable, high-quality results. Participants leave with a working set of agent skills and the confidence to put them to use.
Collaborating with Agents - Part 3
Designing Agent Workflows
This final session is about getting agents to work together. Building on the skills and workflows from Parts 1 and 2, participants learn how to design multi-agent systems where a manager agent delegates to worker agents, each responsible for executing a specific step toward a final outcome. It is a highly effective approach for tackling complex, high-level tasks while keeping the human in the loop for final review and approval. Participants leave with the confidence to design and direct multi-agent workflows.
