Course overview
Invest 8 Hours: Get the Foundation You Need
At Savant-AI™ we know that Leaders, Creators, and Founders must get the fundamental knowledge, skills, and strategic vision to take their teams forward into 2025.
We have helped over 150 leaders transform their careers and their business operations.
Focus your attention for 8 hours with us to make this knowledge and skill building a reality. We know our techniques for teaching work because our 2024 alumni have achieved remarkable success in changing careers, landing new jobs, and starting new companies. But it takes curiosity and work. It also takes the cohort of learners beside you, sharing their ideas and challenges.
This is how change happens: live cohorts learning together, experienced instructors who use they tools daily themselves, and a structured curriculum that enables you to create a roadmap for yourself and your organization to meet your 2025 goals of productivity, profit, and innovation.
Who is this course for
01
Leaders: You don't need to be AI experts. You need to be informed leaders and smart about AI in 2025. You can't waste time.
02
Founders: There has never been a better time to launch a company. AI-driven software development enables solopreneurs to move fast.
03
Creators: You must be in the game to win the crowd. That means AI-enabled production pipelines. From Avatars to Automations.
What you’ll get out of this course
Frameworks to Evaluate ROI, Platforms & Integrations, Policy, Ethics & Security
Leaders need to have a starting place for informed discussion with their key stakeholders on their IT, Legal, HR and Financial teams. They also need to respond to board members who ask them what they are doing about AI in 2025. This course is the safe space to begin your journey.
Hands-on Experience with AI as a Copilot and Creating your own AI Agents
Learn to clone yourself with ChatGPT so that you have a unique partner, or co-pilot, to work with you throughout the day. Then build yourself "AI Assistants" who can be brought into conversations when you need them. And, finally, design "AI Agents" that work with autonomy.
Tools to Design your own Digital Twin (image, voice, writing style, and second brain)
With HeyGen, ElevenLabs, and Runway Act-One, you'll go beyond simple chatbot creations to make a full digital twin of yourself, or of your company mascot or brand - extending and scaling your reach as a company owner or entrepreneur. With NotebookLM you can create a second brain.
AI Techniques to Brainstorm, Analyse, Reformat and Summarize
From Perplexity, to Claude, to Gamma, to Otter AI - you'll see how the techniques for brainstorming, analyzing, and creating multi-format reports and presentations are all around you - even in M365 if your company is fully enabled with Co-Pilot Pro in Office.
An Understanding of Augmentation and Acceleration with AI
You'll see how many ways there are to augment your own skill set with image creation, music and song production, financial analysis, and more. Whatever skills you do not have your "AI Friends" will give you those skills. For skills you already have, AI will accelerate you!
A Strategic vision and Professional Roadmap to Guide You in 2025
Your strategic vision will grow as your exposure and knowledge grows. Your insight into how AI will transform your company, your leadership style, or the capabilities of your team will grow along with every hand-on exercise you do. Our process will get you fully engaged!
