An Applied AI experience that reframes ChatGPT as a thinking collaborator —not a search engine — and shows you how to work with it.
Apps: Applied AI is a hands-on learning experience built around applications — not theory.
Instead of treating ChatGPT like a search engine or a “give-me-an-answer” machine, this workshop focuses on using AI as a thinking collaborator — something you can actually work with, not just pull responses from.
We’ll go behind the scenes of ChatGPT to shape how it responds, asks questions, and engages with your ideas — based on how you think, communicate, and reason.
Think less “asking better questions” and more teaching the tool how to think alongside you.
In this workshop, you’ll learn how to:
move beyond copy-and-paste answers into real dialogue with ChatGPT,
shape how ChatGPT responds by setting tone, boundaries, and context,
get better results by pushing back, refining, and clarifying — not starting over,
use AI to organize and sharpen your thinking instead of replacing it, and
spot where you’re under-using the tool and open up more of its capacity.
You’re not learning tricks, hacks, or prompts. You’re learning how to relate — or model ChatGPT as a tool.
This event is a good fit if you:
mostly use ChatGPT to ask questions, skim answers, and copy-paste results,
haven’t spent time in the settings or personalized how ChatGPT works with you,
feel like the responses are “fine” but not quite you,
know the tool is powerful, but aren’t sure how to use it beyond the basics, and — or
want AI to support real thinking — not just output.
And — or a/an:
entrepreneur or founder,
creative or systems thinker,
strategist, or educator,
writer, speaker, or facilitator, and — or
neurodivergent or cognitively diverse (including ADHD).
Appetizers — Rice Bowls — are provided. The Rice Bowl menu includes the Chipotle Chicken Bowl, the Tropical Bowl (Spicy), the Chili Rice Bowl, and the Meatless Rice Bowl. Larger portions — as well as additional food and beverages — are available for purchase throughout the evening.
Bring a device — laptop, tablet, or smartphone. WiFi is available.
Tickets are on sale.
