Michelle Savage turns AI hours into strategic influence
One person getting great AI output is a demo. A whole team getting it, every day, on a product where mistakes are expensive, takes a system. I built that system.
I've spent more than 20 years leading content and experience design teams, most recently a 16-person team at a global payments company behind a product used by 400 million people. Every AI tool we used ran on the same standards. The first version took a week. Getting the whole team working on top of it took the better part of a year, and that's the part I teach.
The system became the Context Layer, the framework at the center of this course. I also co-wrote Agentic AI + Zero Trust, with a foreword by John Kindervag.
