Published 2 days agoΒ β€’Β 1 min read

πŸ“Š Microsoft estimates New Zealanders could save an average of 275 hours per year by using artificial intelligence.

Hello Reader,

If you want to learn AI F.A.S.T. then I have the class for you.

Participants in my workshops have demonstrated:

πŸ“ˆ +45% in Confidence in using AI tools for daily tasks
πŸ› οΈ +56% in ability to craft effective AI Prompts
β€βš‘ +65% in efficiency improvement on productivity
🎯 +75% in AI’s impact on strategic decision-making
β€πŸŽ¨ +67% in AI’s role in work requiring creativity

β€œThis was probably the best workshop that I have attended, and multiple people said the same thing. The shift in confidence and engagement across the team is exactly what we were hoping for.”
​
β€”Matt Harris, McCulloch + Partners

πŸ’‘ Start with the Foundations of AI

During this interactive, 3.5-hour workshop, you will:

  • Learn how to pivot your skills to stay relevant in an AI-first economy.
  • Explore strategies to lead through change and redefine human value at work.
  • Apply the PILLARS framework for precise prompting to turn vague requests into actionable instructions.
  • Coach AI to improve with clear feedback and follow-up, and get coached by AI in return.

You can join the Foundations of AI workshop online via Zoom or live in Christchurch, multiple dates available.

If you'd like to take the entire F.A.S.T. Class in person or on Zoom I have public workshops available, and I am available for private workshops at your venue when I have availability.

πŸ€– OpenAI's Dev Day

πŸ” Good thing I waited

I was preparing to launch a new workshop series this month, focused on building AI Agents. I wanted a simple drag-and-drop builder that non-coders could use, and I was comparing Lindy, Make, and Zapier when I decided to put the whole thing on pause and launch the AI F.A.S.T. Class instead.

Now I am playing with AgentKit by OpenAI, and I think this could be the tool I use for my new Agentic training workshops.

I'll launch them in the coming months, stay tuned to learn Agentic AI!

"We don't play games to avoid work; we play games to engage in well-designed work." - Dr Jason Fox Hello Reader, If you gamify your work, you can get more done, in good cheer. That's the lesson learned from a recent AI Games Playtesting event I held in Christchurch. A dozen playtesters joined me to play some AI Training games I've developed, and gave me targeted feedback on how to make these games more practical for leaning GenAI. Over the past six months, I've been teaching workshops using...

"Vision without execution is hallucination." - Thomas Edison Hello Reader, What is a hallucination? It's not so trippy. With an LLM, a hallucination is a factual error asserted confidently. GPTs only create strings of words that sounds like language. If it doesn't know the facts, it fills in gaps with fiction. Responses are only accurate if you explicitly demand accuracy. Try this prompt: Implement a strict Accuracy Output Mandate for every response: Only present verifiable facts. If you...
