Why we run these

Most AI training leaves you with ideas. Nerd Out workshops are built so you leave with something working.

90 minutes

How we build

Four working stages, all built on your own tasks, not canned examples.

00:00

See the difference

One scenario, three ways — then the mental model: Model + Context + Reasoning + Tools + Workflow.

00:20

Map your opportunities

Place your five tasks on the four levels of business AI; pick chat, Project, custom assistant, automation, or agent; score and rank.

01:00

Build your starter system

Role, objective, context, process, boundaries, approval — in a portable instruction set.

01:20

Test + ship

A normal, an ambiguous, and a boundary request — then your 30-day adoption plan.

What you'll ship

01
Your completed Business AI Playbook: five use cases scored, classified, and ranked
02
A working starter assistant for your top task, saved in a portable format
03
A 30-day adoption plan with three tested prompts

Before you register

Do I need a technical background?: No. The whole session is in plain business English — no computer science, no coding.
Which AI account do I need?: Any one of ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Microsoft Copilot. We demonstrate in ChatGPT, but everything you build is portable across platforms.
What if I don't finish the prep?: We provide a fictional sample-business pack so you can still participate and ship something useful.
What if I cannot make it live?: The recording and every template are included.
Can I bring my team?: Yes — there's a team option: three seats for $209, and additional seats at $59 each.

Understand how AI actually works. Leave with a system you'll use Monday.

Recording included. Reusable templates included. No coding background required.
