A hands-on workshop that teaches you to think like an engineer and build real solutions with AI — no coding experience required.
Sound Familiar?
You're not alone. Most professionals hit the same walls when trying to use AI.
You're stuck in the loop
You've tried ChatGPT, Copilot, or Claude — but it still feels like you're just fiddling. You get inconsistent results and aren't sure why.
You can't separate signal from noise
Every week there's a new AI tool, a new "game-changer." You can't tell what actually works from what's just hype.
You hit a wall on real projects
You see others building impressive things with AI, but when you try something beyond simple questions, you get stuck.
You know you're leaving value on the table
There are tasks in your day-to-day work that AI could transform — but you don't know how to identify or approach them.
What If You Could Think Like an Engineer?
You don't need to become a developer. You need to learn how developers think about problems — and apply that to AI.
Before the Workshop
- ✕ Random prompting with inconsistent results
- ✕ Overwhelmed by new tools every week
- ✕ Stuck on anything beyond simple questions
- ✕ No framework for evaluating what works
After the Workshop
- ✓ Systematic approach that works every time
- ✓ Clear criteria to evaluate any AI tool
- ✓ Ability to scope and tackle complex projects
- ✓ Custom workflows tailored to YOUR profession
Workshop Agenda
3.5 hours of focused, hands-on learning. Here's what we'll cover.
Foundations: How to Actually Think About AI
Strip away the hype. Understand what AI tools can and cannot do, and build a mental model for when and how to use them effectively.
Thinking Like a Software Engineer
Learn the core skill that separates productive AI users from everyone else: how to break down problems, scope work, and think in systems.
Break
Recharge and connect with other attendees.
Scoping & Building Real Projects
Hands-on session: take a real problem from your work and apply the framework to scope, plan, and start building a solution with AI.

Think like a Software Engineer when approaching any AI problem — without writing code
Scope, plan, and tackle projects far beyond your current capacity
Identify the specific areas in YOUR profession where bespoke AI tooling will have the biggest impact
Evaluate any new AI tool or trend with a practitioner's framework — separate hype from reality
Leave with a concrete action plan and the confidence to execute it

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need coding experience? —
No. This workshop is designed for professionals who are NOT developers. We teach you to think like an engineer — not to write code.
What should I bring? —
A laptop with a web browser. We'll be using AI tools directly during the hands-on sessions. You'll also want something from your real work to apply the framework to.
Is this just a ChatGPT tutorial? —
Not at all. We cover the thinking frameworks and problem-solving approaches that work across ANY AI tool. This is about building a skill, not learning button clicks.
What if I've never used AI tools before? —
That's completely fine. We start from foundations and build up. Some of our best outcomes come from complete beginners — they have no bad habits to unlearn.
What's the refund policy? —
If the workshop doesn't deliver value, we'll refund your registration. No questions asked.
Will this be recorded? —
No. This is a live, interactive workshop. The small group format means you get personalized attention — that doesn't work on video.
