AI Advantage Workshop: Beyond the Basics

Adult Enrichment / Technology, Finance & Career -

Winter 2026

If you’ve used ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini for emails or brainstorming, there’s a lot more these tools can do. This small-group, hands-on workshop is for those ready to go beyond the basics and make GenAI a true partner in their work. Practice techniques that separate casual users from confident, capable ones: build multi-step prompts that solve problems; create custom GPTs, Gemini Gems, or Claude Projects tailored to your goals; and use GenAI to test ideas, analyze options, and tackle complex challenges. You’ll leave with a personalized GenAI workflow to use immediately, saving time, sharpening decisions, and boosting creativity—perfect for anyone who’s completed AI Made Easy or has similar experience and wants to level up their skills.

Please note: Smartphones are not suitable for this class. Please bring a your fully charge laptop or tablet.
