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

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.

Founders: There has never been a better time to launch a company. AI-driven software development enables solopreneurs to move fast.

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!

What students are saying

Thanks again to Matt and Christian for being patient, kind, and willing to explore more questions than answers about how AI tools can be leveraged effectively.

I come from the corporate financial world which is historically slow to adopt newer technologies, so this class has given me the language and education I needed to talk to my leadership about new opportunities we could implement. I feel confident to be a leader in my team now that I've had experience with multiple AI tools and completed projects. The more I learned, the more ideas I've had for use cases. I would take this class again because, just like AI responses, learning with others can lead to ideas you never considered on your own.

Matt and Christian are not only knowledgeable, but they understand how to cultivate a tight knit learning environment. If you’re looking to learn more about AI, and be in an engaging group this is a great cohort to join.

The Rundown AI

In less time than it takes to order and drink a coffee, our cohort turned someone's everyday business problem into a working app. That's the kind of practical magic that happened in the AI Leaders course. During one session, we used Lovable to transform an idea into reality in minutes. Watching everyone's faces light up when they realized we'd built something genuinely useful in the time it usually takes to explain a problem was incredible. What stuck with me most was our deep dive into AI avatars and personal branding. We explored how to use AI to amplify our voice while staying true to who we are. It was a conversation that only could be had in a group: It's about replacing authenticity, but about finding tools that help us show up consistently. Major props to Matt and Christian for fostering an environment where we could learn by doing. For anyone looking to move beyond the AI hype and into practical implementation, this is time well spent!

The team at AI Savants is really adept at conveying knowledge in a fun, discussion-oriented way, which focuses on skills and understanding but also with a mind toward the "bigger picture" of how AI fits in with individuals, workplaces, and society. I've taken multiple courses from this team, the material is really well honed yet evolves, and every single session is something new and rewarding. This course would be great for an entrepreneur seeking to embrace the new future, a business leader looking for how to responsibly incorporate AI into the workplace, or even individuals who want learning that is cohort-based and discussion-based rather than one-way video lessons.

Matt and Christian have not only inspired a profound shift in my perspective but have also opened the doors to incredible opportunities for growth and connection. Through their thoughtfully designed courses, I’ve been introduced to like-minded individuals who share the same drive and passion, and I only wish I had more time to deepen those relationships. What they’ve taught me has been truly transformative—skills and insights that would have taken me years of study and practice to master on my own were made accessible in such a short time. Their guidance has equipped me to tackle challenges with confidence and achieve goals I once thought were far out of reach. I am deeply grateful for the impact their courses have had on both my personal and professional journey. Thank you so guys!

What people are saying

Now I have a clear roadmap for implementing AI tools that can enhance our operational efficiency while maintaining human-centered care that's essential in memory care services. The course provided practical tools I can immediately put to work in our facilities. It also has value for my kids and family at home.

Lewis McCoy

In a world of mediocre online courses and trainings, this is a gem! To be specific, this course will not only help you make a mindset shift towards the opportunities created by generative AI, it will also hands on teach you actionable skills and practical tools, and build your confidence using them. I like the edge it gives me.

Jacqueline Claudia

This course was absolutely amazing! It exceeded all my expectations, I learned so much from Matt and Christian about AI tools, their effective use, and practical ways to integrate them into both my personal and professional toolkit. Beyond the invaluable practical skills, the course gave me a tremendous confidence boost by demystifying AI.

Rabeyah Khan

I had the opportunity to ask specific questions to people that have more AI knowledge and experience. I loved your presentations and our discussions about artificial intelligence. Thank you for sharing your insights! It was fantastic! I learned so much! I am now thinking about new ideas and projects that I can implement to improve my company!

Incredible 3 day course. Instructors did a great job guiding us through the current state of AI and fostering great discussion among the group. Thoroughly enjoyed all three sessions and took away a lot I can immediately apply to our business.

Trey Hopton-Jones

Senior Systems and Information Manager, Anthem Memory Care

Cannot think of a more dedicated team of teachers in Christian and Matt who were so willing to share information. Highest recommendation from me! (I attended the course async from New South Wales and was fully included.)
