Build on it · Class 03
Write a one-page document about your life and how you like help, load it into your AI tool, and use it to turn a brain dump into a realistic week.
Scheduled once 10 people ask for it. The date and format are confirmed before anyone pays.
Most people use AI like a stranger at a help desk: explain everything, get an answer, start over tomorrow. In two hours you write a one-page personal context document, put it where your AI tool can always see it, and test it on your own week. You leave with an assistant that already knows your schedule and your preferences, a plan for next week it helped you make, and a clear list of what you won't use it for.
Before you start: Class 02, or comfortable writing a detailed request to ChatGPT or Claude and following up when the answer misses.

Paste this into ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini. Notice how the short background changes the plan. That background is the seed of the context document you'll build in class.
Use this background about me for everything in this chat. ABOUT ME: I'm Marisol, I live in Tallahassee, and I work weekdays 8 to 5. I visit my mother in Gainesville every other Sunday (this Sunday is one). I'm training for a Thanksgiving 5K with walk-run sessions three times a week, mornings only. I volunteer Saturday mornings 8 to noon at a library book sale. I like short bullet lists, no more than five items per day. Evenings after 8 p.m. are off limits. TASK: Turn my brain dump below into a Monday-to-Sunday plan. Put anything that won't fit into a 'Not this week' list. If something is unclear, ask me one question before you start. BRAIN DUMP: buy paint samples for the kitchen, call the vet about Biscuit's shots, finish the book sale signs by Friday, pick up a birthday card for Mom before Sunday, three training sessions, renew my car tag before the end of the month, return two library books, text Teresa about the carpool, clean out the hall closet, look up how to grow tomatoes in the fall.
Before you trust the answer, check:
Assemble a single daily brief that pulls together your calendar, priorities, and the two or three things you actually need to know before 9am.
You leave with
A repeatable morning brief you receive or generate daily.
Configure an assistant that researches a topic properly — gathering, comparing, citing, and summarizing into a one-page brief you can act on.
You leave with
A research assistant plus a finished one-page brief.
Enough to write the document, load it, and test it on your own week, which is the thing that makes everything after it easier. Writing in your voice, hard messages, breaking stalled projects into steps, learning a new subject and verifying it, and decision support are follow-on labs that build on the document you make here.
No. Everything works on free ChatGPT or Claude. Projects, custom assistants, and memory vary by plan, so the class is built around a context document you can paste into any tool.
You decide what goes in. We write the 'leave out' list before anyone writes the document, and you'll see how to view and delete what a tool remembers.
This class is about your life: your week, your projects, your messages. AI for Everyday Productivity (Class 04) is about work tasks like email, meetings, documents, and spreadsheets, including AI inside Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace.
Class 04
Turn messy meeting notes into checked action items and a sent follow-up, and boil a long report down to a one-page brief you've spot-checked.
Class 05
Plan a week of dinners with AI and catch its mistakes, learn to spot AI-powered scams and fake voices, and write family AI rules everyone signs.
This is the LifeQuest capstone. From here, learners move into ongoing build sessions and community projects.
Learn a four-part way to ask AI for what you want, fix answers that miss, and leave with three tested prompt templates for your own weekly tasks.
Turn messy meeting notes into checked action items and a sent follow-up, and boil a long report down to a one-page brief you've spot-checked.
Design your own AI Chief of Staff on paper, then build the manual versions of inbox triage and meeting prep, with you approving every draft.
Bring one task you want to make easier. We organize a class when 10 people with similar work needs are interested. See the class details before you decide to enroll.
