About this session
A two-day, lab-heavy course for professionals who already use AI a little and want to use it properly. You will leave with a working "power stack" — a Project holding your context, a Connector pulling live data, your own Skill, an Artifact or designed one-pager, and either a scheduled task or a Cowork-run deliverable.
DAY 1 — Surfaces & Output
09:00 Welcome & the power-user mental model: which surface for which job
09:30 Chat, done properly — iterative prompting, extended thinking, steering long conversations
10:45 Projects — persistent workspaces, custom instructions, reference files (Lab: build a Project for a workflow you repeat weekly)
13:00 Artifacts — docs, charts, dashboards and small apps instead of plain text
14:00 Claude Design — mockups, landing pages, slides and one-pagers steered through chat
15:00 Skills — reusable instruction packs (Lab: author and run your own Skill)
16:15 Integration lab: Project + Skill + Artifact on one real workflow
DAY 2 — Live Data & Delegation
09:15 Connectors — Slack, Google Drive, Gmail and more; permissions, privacy, grounding outputs in real data
10:45 Scheduled tasks — recurring digests, monitoring and summaries that run without re-prompting
13:00 Cowork + an intro to Claude Code — semi-autonomous multi-step work, and when to delegate
14:15 Cowork lab: hand it a genuine multi-step job and steer it to completion
15:30 Capstone: build your power stack + 2-minute show-and-tell
16:30 Responsible power use — verifying outputs, data hygiene, cost and limits
Who it is for: executives, professionals, analysts, marketers, operators and founders. No coding required — bring a laptop and a real workflow.
