AI for Your Work Life: Automating the Boring Stuff

Participants identify their own repetitive tasks and learn to use AI to draft emails, summarize documents, analyze data, and reclaim hours in their week.

About This Course

About This Course

You spend hours every week on tasks that AI could handle in minutes — drafting emails, summarizing reports, organizing information, analyzing spreadsheets, creating presentations. This course shows you exactly how to reclaim that time.

This is the most practical course in the series. You will bring your own real work tasks to class and learn to use AI to complete them faster and better. By the end of three sessions, you will have an AI-powered workflow for your actual job, not hypothetical scenarios.

We focus on the tasks that eat up the most time for knowledge workers: email and communication, document creation and analysis, data and spreadsheet work, meeting preparation and follow-up, and research and learning.
