What You’ll Learn in 1 Hour

In this live AI workshop for media professionals, you’ll learn how to:

  • Understand what today’s AI tools actually do (and don’t) in plain language.

  • Use a simple prompting framework to get better drafts, ideas, and edits.

  • Apply privacy and safety basics so you don’t expose sources, clients, or internal docs.

  • Run “deep research” queries to find experts, angles, and background fast.

  • Start building a reusable AI writing assistant that sounds like you.

Every session is updated with the latest tools and features, so the examples you see actually reflect how AI works this month.

Who This AI Workshop Is For

AI Quick Start is designed for anyone who works with words and stories:

  • Journalists & editors who need faster research and better first drafts.

  • PR & communications pros who write pitches, briefing docs, and exec comms.

  • Content creators & marketers who juggle blogs, newsletters, and social.

  • Media leaders & executives who need a clear, non-hyped view of AI’s role.

No technical background required. If you can use a browser, you can use this.

This isn’t theory. You’ll be able to put AI to work the same day on real assignments.
