Course overview
Embrace The Co-Pilot Era
Content creation is table stakes, and generative AI is revolutionizing how we create. Ready to be a part of this revolution, instead of just a spectator?
In this Maven Masterclass I will speed-run you through the entire AI creation workflow in 2 weeks. We'll delve into state-of-the-art text, image, audio, and 3D generation models. You'll learn how to orchestrate them together to produce compelling content and supercharge your creative process.
Not just theory, you'll execute 2 hands-on class projects that deep dive into the latest AI creation tools, while integrating them into creation workflows you know and love. You come with ideas and domains you want to explore creatively and strategically, and I’ll teach you the applied R&D workflows to realize them.
We'll also get strategic and explore the future of generative AI from industry leading guests such as John Nack - the mind behind Adobe Firefly, Google AI in Photos, as well as Photoshop’s longtime PM. You'll learn about Photoshop's origin story and where AI-driven artistry is headed to help you plan ahead.
With a decade in tech, hundreds of millions of views across social media, and a proven track record of bringing AI to life at Google, I am excited to share this knowledge with you. I'll arm you with a personalized strategy to turn AI into the premier member of your creative team.
It's time for you to become a 10x creator.
