Approach

Understand it first. Then use it on real work.

AI answers can sound convincing and still be wrong. We start with how these tools work and how to check what they give you.

  1. How it works

    We spend the first part of the lesson on what these tools are underneath. Why they sound confident when they're wrong, why the same question gives different answers, and what they can't know about your business unless you tell them. Once that makes sense, most of the frustration goes away, and you know what to check before you trust an answer.

    You try this on your own screen rather than taking our word for it. Ask the same question twice and compare the answers. Ask about your business with no background, then again with the background it needs, and see the difference.

  2. Useful habits

    Not a hundred prompts to memorize. A small set of habits you'll actually use, on any tool and any task:

    • Tell it who you are, who the reader is, and what "good" looks like.
    • Give it an example of your own writing or pricing.
    • Check names, figures and claims against your records or the original source.
    • Know when to stop and do it by hand.

    You try each habit on one of your own requests and compare the answer before and after. The set is small on purpose, so you keep using it after the lesson.

  3. Your real tasks

    Bring two or three things from your actual week. Common ones:

    • Writing or tidying a quote or estimate
    • Replying to a tricky customer email or review
    • Turning voice notes into a job summary
    • Drafting a seasonal service reminder
    • Reading a long supplier or permit document and pulling out what matters

    You do the typing on your own screen while we coach. When an answer is off, we stop and work out why together: was something missing from the request, or was it unclear who the reader is? Then you fix the request rather than the result, so the next answer comes out right and the fix sticks.

  4. Keep learning on your own

    You leave with short notes from the session: what you tried, what worked, and what to check next time. The point of Lesson One is to get you started properly, not to keep you coming back.

    You also leave with a short list of next things to try alone, with the same habits, on jobs you didn't bring to the lesson. The goal is that you need us less, not more.

Bring real work from your week. That is what you practise on.

What you'll need

  • A computer with Zoom (a phone works, but a laptop is better)
  • Two or three real tasks you'd like help with
  • About 90 minutes without job-site interruptions, if you can manage it

We pick one repeating job, set up an AI-assisted way to do it, and train you to run it yourself.

Prices in Canadian dollars. GST/HST will be added once Lesson One is registered.

Questions

Do I need to be good with computers?

No. If you can send an email and join a Zoom call, you can do this.

Is my business information safe?

We'll show you what's sensible to paste into an AI tool and what isn't, and how to change the privacy settings in the tool you use.

Will you do the work for me?

In lessons, no. You do it and we coach. The workflow setup is the one option where we build something, and even then the goal is that you can run it yourself.

Is there a certificate?

No. You'll get a skill you can use, not a certificate.

Do you teach in French?

Not at the moment. Lessons are in English only.
