OpenAI's GPT passes the NY bar exam at the 90th percentile. BCG consultants using ChatGPT finished 12% more tasks, 25.1% faster, at 40% higher quality. In closed tests, AI outperforms for contract reviews 77x faster at 0.03% the price of humans. But the absolute best legal AI? It works with you, the lawyer. Once you know the basics and how to prompt, you'll wish you'd had AI for legal work for years. This course will give you practical, immediately useful learnings on actual AI prompting with GC AI or general purpose tools like ChatGPT or Claude. You'll get a great intro to how AI works. Then get your hands dirty with an experienced GC and AI expert to help and push you with tips and tricks. I promise: you'll be shocked at the quality of AI legal outputs. Note: I teach this class on GC AI (getgc.ai) and give a free trial to the tool for class takers because it's the best AI copilot for lawyers. You *can* get good results with general purpose, non-legal AI tools like Microsoft Copilot, it's just more work and harder. Kind of like shooting in RAW on a digital camera versus using an iPhone. Continuing Legal Education (CLE) Credit InformationThis course is eligible for Continuing Legal Education (CLE) credit in California. Attendees will have the opportunity to earn 1.25 CLE credits upon completion of the course.

Cohort 8

Cohort 9

The challenge: most people who don't have a technical background do not understand the reasons why products like ChatGPT, Claude, or Cursor respond the way they do. Because of this, they also don't understand how to get what they want and need out of AI tools. A quick story: my sister is a physician-scientist. She has an MD-PhD. She does cutting edge scientific research and works with data on the daily. Last year, we were on a video call where she mentioned being unimpressed with ChatGPT's response to her work question. She told me what she was trying to do, and I went, "wait, AI could definitely handle this - what did you type?" I flipped the screen, pointed it at my monitor, and proceeded to have a conversation with ChatGPT that got her all the answers she needed in just a few minutes. This "capability unlock" has gone on to save her at least an hour in her work every day. DAILY. And she was mere seconds away from having given up on it, thinking AI wasn't yet good enough to get the job done. And this is when I realized, every non-technical user needs to understand not just "prompt engineering," as you've heard described elsewhere.It's more fundamental than that. It's...• The reasons and treasons of why AI does or doesn't give you a good answer• The nuances of technical limitations (safety, length, 'correct' output)• The incredible power of chain of thought &amp; reflective techniques This 3-day intensive will cover the above, and so much more, with the outcome of getting you to become fluent in talking to AI systems, including large language models (like ChatGPT/GPT-4o out of OpenAI, Claude out of Anthropic, LLaMA out of Meta) and image generation models (like Midjourney, DALL-E, and Stable Diffusion). And when I say "fluent," I mean something very specific. Just as language fluency isn't about memorizing phrases from a travel guidebook, AI fluency isn't about collecting prompts from Twitter. True fluency means understanding the deeper patterns of interaction -- knowing when to push, when to pivot, and most importantly, why. Consider this: most courses teach you what to say to AI. This course teaches you how to think about AI conversation. It's the difference between learning to order coffee in French versus understanding why French speakers structure their thoughts the way they do. What you'll get out of the 3 day intensive - Day 1Mental Models &amp; Mechanics• What AI knows versus what it can do; how AI reads, thinks, and speaks, + biases and limits• The hidden landscape of latent space, embeddings, and vectors - what does it all mean for your usage?• Differences in AI paradigms, LLM models, genAI models, and the applications that sit on top of them Day 2Conversations &amp; Debugging• Ask the unaskable: form questions that inspire LLMs to answer you; learn the DRIVE context framework• Use layered prompting and multi-turn conversations for your most advanced queries and topics• Get AI to "think out loud," giving you more data, more insights, and the ability to iterate over time Day 3Advanced Applications• Use reflective and agentic techniques + products to get AI "working for you" - soon, you'll have a team• Get multi-modal - combine models, model types, and apps to generate fast, impactful outputs• &amp; more: analysis, tools, fine-tuning, hallucinations, ethical considerations, and real world use And more• retrieval augmented generation (RAG), code use, integration + extensions, voice-based nuances• chain of thought, reflection, context windows, and other AI concepts explained• how do apps make use of LLMs, how is AI being integrated by companies across tech At the end of this 3-day intensive, you'll...• be able to transform vague ideas into incredible outputs, whether you're brainstorming, working with data and statistics, coding with AI, using it for workflow, asking it knowledge questions, utilizing it for research, adopting it as a content companion, or using it in an academic setting• troubleshoot and debug AI responses - you'll know when you've hit a real limit versus a bug or user error, unlocking the boundaries of what AI can do before anyone else -- no matter the field you're in• future-proof your skills - because you're going to have a deep understanding of how these products work, you'll remain capable of using them as the models are continuously updated and evolved, even as the rapid pace of AI development continues It's about harnessing the power of this transformative technology to amplify your own creativity, productivity, and impact on the world. Get ready to go beyond "prompt engineering" and embark on a journey to truly master the art and science of communicating with AI. Are you ready to unlock the conversation?

You're probably bad at talking to AI. I'll make it your smartest friend.

3 days of live classes

Can't make it to the live classes or want to watch them again later? We'll make each day's content available same-day for all students.

Access recordings forever

There will be several projects and optional group workshops to turn the content into usable muscle - attend live for instructor feedback, or access projects, examples, and templates at your own pace - including permanent access after the course ends.

Daily projects (optional)

Non-technical or semi-technical professionals (throughout knowledge work) looking to gain an upper hand in this AI moment.

Anyone who has felt the gap between AI's potential, what they hear about what it can do, and their ability to access the upside.

NOT for engineers who already use LLM copilots every day. NOT for people looking for quick prompt templates.

You'll learn about the cognitive architecture that underpins not just LLMs, but the way that products and apps are built around them. These patterns will work across AI models and will continue working as systems evolve.

Instead of AI prompt templates, learn conversational design patterns

It's hard for even the most AI-passionate people to integrate and reliably, consistency use AI products. I'll give you systems, shortcuts, and methods for making it second nature -- we'll build your AI muscle.

Instead of treating ChatGPT like a magic answer box, you'll make it a constant companion

"Why does it hallucinate here, but not there? When should I restart a conversation versus redirect it? Why does it sometimes forget what we just discussed? How does its sourcing work? When is more context good versus bad?" You'll know. And you'll know what to do next.

Instead of getting frustrated, you'll know how to iterate your way to results

You'll master the art of progressive refinement, building complex outputs and systems, and be able to leverage all of this to be top .5% in your field -- whether that's at work, with a hobby, with a side project, or with something personal.

Instead of being left behind, you'll get and stay ahead of the AI curve

Develop a foundational understanding of how AI & LLMs see, hear, and read your input, + how to use them to 10x your output speed and impact.
