AI Over 50 - Level 1: Set Up AI to Work for You

Brett Bouchard

Ex-Google Director, Founder AI Over 50

Set up your own AI system and make your decades of experience the edge

You chat with AI, and it still feels generic.
The answers come back bland, the advice out there is rarely written for experienced people like you, and you keep re-explaining yourself and redoing the same work. And AI keeps changing every month, which makes now the right time to create a setup that doesn't go stale.

AI only gets useful once it knows you.
Your decades of experience are exactly what make that work, because good context is really just judgment, and you have plenty of it.

In live, hands-on sessions, you'll set up your own AI system.
Before without a system: a generic AI writes you a stiff client note you fix for 15 minutes, nods along with whatever you decide, and leaves you rewriting one update for every channel. After with your own system: it writes that note in your voice in 2 minutes, pushes back like a skeptic and catches what you missed, and turns one update into all your channels at once.

You'll learn it from someone who lives on it.
I spent 20+ years in tech, including time at Google, and I use these same AI systems every day to run my own solo business. Designed for experienced people over 50, peer to peer, with no hype and no condescension.

What you’ll learn

Go from using AI as a generic chatbot to your own AI system that knows your work, saves you real time, and comes with ready-made Skills.

Build the context that captures your work, your goals, and how you like things done
Load it into a Project (ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini) so every chat starts with your AI up to speed

Use the skill-builder to build your first reusable Skill (also called a recipe or play), live in the session
Add a quick quality-check step that catches mistakes before you use an output
Leave with two or three of your own, plus a ready-made library from me

Connect your Skills to your assistant and run them on real work, with help on hand if you get stuck
Operate the whole setup so it keeps working as tools and models change

Ask for better answers and work by voice, not just by typing
Push back on the first reply instead of taking it at face value

Flip your AI into a skeptic that pokes holes in your ideas and decisions
Leave with a ready-made AI Skeptic skill you can run any time

Bring your real questions to the live sessions, plus a bonus office hours session, and get personalized help
Work alongside peers over 50, so you're never doing this alone
