Course Content

W1
Week 1: The New Ecosystem & Reasoning Foundations
Moving from "Instant Chat" to "Deep Thinking."
1
System 1 vs. System 2 Thinking
Understand the difference between "Instant AI" (for simple emails) and "Reasoning AI" (for complex strategy), and when each applies.
2
The 2026 Power Trio
Master the distinct strengths of the three market leaders: The Multimodal Giant (video & documents), The Reasoner (logic & rules), and The Worker (long-form writing & technical tasks).
3
Vibe Coding & Artifacts
Create interactive mini-apps and dashboards just by describing the "vibe" — no coding required.
4
The Productivity Layer: Smart Docs & Inbox
Let AI categorise your inbox, draft replies in your writing style, and safely read documents from your Google Drive via MCP.
5
Visuals & Branding: Reasoning Images
Generate brand-consistent visuals using reference images so the AI preserves an exact look across new scenes.
Weekly Win
The Cognitive Switch
Build a personal matrix for deciding when to use "Fast AI" vs. "Slow Thinking AI" across your most common work tasks.
W2
Week 2: The Science of Orchestration
Guiding the model's thought process instead of just its output.
1
The CO-STAR + Thinking Framework
Upgrade every prompt with CO-STAR (Context, Objective, Style, Tone, Audience, Response) plus a Thinking Budget that instructs the model to critique its own output.
2
Memory & State Management
Stop AI from "forgetting" mid-conversation by restating context and using Thought Signatures to keep long projects aligned.
3
Thought Signatures: Watching the Trace
Read the AI's Thought Trace to verify it reasoned step-by-step and caught its own errors before delivering an answer.
4
Custom Personas: Reusable Brains
Upload your brand voice document to a persistent Project so every output always matches your company standards — without re-prompting.
5
Prompt Chaining vs. Agentic Loops
Master the Critique Loop (write → critique → rewrite) and know when a looping agent outperforms a linear chain of steps.
Weekly Win
Prompt Golf
Achieve a complex, polished result with the fewest possible instructions by letting the model's internal reasoning do the heavy lifting.
W3
Week 3: Applied Operational Workflows
Letting AI agents handle the heavy lifting of research, data, and scheduling.
1
Deep Research Agents
Move beyond "Search" to "Synthesis" — let AI browse dozens of pages and return a single, sourced, structured report.
2
The Content Waterfall
Turn a single talk or video into a multi-channel content strategy using a reasoning model to extract implied insights, not just surface words.
3
The Meeting & Inbox Autopilot
Set up agents to summarise email threads, find action items, and draft replies that match your writing style.
4
The "Non-Technical" Analyst
Upload a CSV and let AI find outliers, group patterns, and explain financial anomalies in plain English — without opening Excel.
5
"Computer Use" & Agentic Browsing
Ask a web-browsing agent to scan competitor sites and return a structured comparison — without you opening a single tab.
Weekly Win
The Automated Hour
Use a Deep Research Loop to finish a 1-hour project in under 10 minutes. Deliverable: a side-by-side "How I used to do it vs. How the Agent did it" comparison.
W4
Week 4: Verification, Safety & The Operations Manual
Ensuring accuracy and privacy in an automated world.
1
The Fact Audit
Ground AI in real sources, verify citations, and practice the "You are hallucinating — check again" correction technique.
2
The Privacy Protocol
Sanitize data before analysis and protect your company's professional secrets by turning off training data sharing in settings.
3
The Unified Brain (MCP)
A plain-English look at how your AI can safely "read" your Google Drive, Slack, or Notion without exposing private data.
4
Ethics & Bias
Surface demographic bias in AI outputs and experiment with counter-prompts that actively override stereotyped defaults.
5
The AI Operations Manual
Design your personal SOP — which tools to use, 3 Golden CO-STAR prompts, and your privacy & verification checklist.
Weekly Win
Capstone: Your Personal AI Ops Manual
Submit your completed blueprint — The Stack, The Prompts, and The Rules — your guide for staying ahead in the workforce.
