Stop Prompting. Start Building Systems.

AI is changing creative work fast. Most people are being left behind.

Everyone is under pressure to use AI... in campaigns, productions, content, and creative work. But most people are stuck in the same loop: prompting randomly, getting inconsistent output, and producing nothing they'd confidently hand to a client or a team.

The problem isn't the tool. It's that there's no system underneath.

This course teaches you how to build one. Over four live sessions, you'll go from random prompting to a repeatable creative workflow: learning the story architecture behind great AI output, building real agentic systems, benchmarking tools with a framework you can reuse, and packaging your work into something you can pitch, publish, or deploy.

Led by Sean Bradford (founder of Origin Stories, speaker at Tomorrowland and Eurosonic) and King Willonius (TIME 100 Most Influential in AI, creator of BBL Drizzy, speaker at SXSW, MIT, and Harvard).

This is not a theory course. Every session produces something real.

Beta cohort. Small group. $795. Starts May 11.

What you’ll learn

Master the systems, frameworks and creative workflows that turn AI into your most powerful professional tool.

  • Learn the four-layer framework: system message, persona, context, output format that makes AI output consistent

  • Customise a ready-made markdown template for your own project, brand, or workflow

  • Leave with a file you can reuse, version, and drop into any AI tool or agentic workflow

  • Understand why AI output without narrative structure drifts, and ways to increases consistency

  • Use storytelling frameworks from creative production to shape AI output for campaigns and experiences

  • Produce AI-generated work you'd confidently hand to a client or a team

  • Set up a cloud-based agentic workflow using tools you already have access to

  • Write system prompts and message architecture that produce repeatable, on-brand output

  • Deploy one personalised AI experience tied to your own brief by end of session

  • Apply a structured evaluation framework to any new AI tool against your actual creative needs

  • Cut through the hype and identify what actually matters for your context

  • Present your tool decisions with clarity to clients, teams, or stakeholders

  • Turn your course project into a case study, pitch, or deployable deliverable

  • Learn how to present AI-powered work on stage, in a meeting room, or to a client

  • Get live feedback on your work from Sean Bradford in the final session

  • Every session produces a tangible output: a system, a workflow, a benchmark, a pitch framework

  • Work on your actual projects throughout, not hypothetical examples

  • Walk away with a portfolio of AI-powered work ready to use or show
