AI Training Workshop: Online

Who it's for

• Teams who want the workshop's hands-on support, but can't travel to Weston-super-Mare.
• Anyone who'd rather do this from their desk in an afternoon than take a full day out.
• Managers who need to decide what AI is allowed to touch, and who checks it.

Want the full day instead — in person, with lunch, and time for a leadership session as well? See the in-person workshop. Just want to explore the framework alone first? Try the £7 self-serve guide.

What you need

• A laptop, camera and microphone, and a quiet spot for 3 hours.
• Google Meet (no app install needed — a link is all you need).
• An active subscription to an AI tool such as Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini.
• An answer to the question: “What task do you want to automate through AI, of the same level that you could delegate to a trainee with a clear checklist?”

What happens on the day

Before the session, each person tells us one job they do every week that they want to delegate to AI. The 3 hours cover the four Ds in full, the same as the in-person day, with a check-in halfway through so nobody is left stuck. What the full day adds on top — building a reusable context pack and a leadership session on ground rules — isn't covered here; it's worth the in-person day if your team needs that too.

Built on the AI Fluency 4D Framework by Prof. Rick Dakan and Prof. Joseph Feller, developed with Anthropic.

Delegation

Break your job into steps and decide which ones AI does, which stay with a person, and where the checks go.

Description

Write the job as a brief the AI can act on, so it stops guessing. (What, how, detail)

Discernment

Produce a first real output and check its output. Spot the mistakes before they reach a report. (Product, process, performance)

Diligence

Agree what data can go into which tool, and who is accountable for what comes out.

What you leave with

• One weekly job, running with AI and checked by a person.
• A first draft of the ground rules for what data goes where, and who signs off.

Format

• 3 hours, live over Google Meet — a joining link is sent after booking.
• Up to 10 people per session, with a check-in halfway through, so everyone gets 1-on-1 support.
• Works with the tools you already have: Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini.
