Get AI to write the way you want
Give the AI examples, explain what you like about them, and revise the output with precise feedback. You can use your own writing or references you admire. The goal is a result that fits your audience and purpose, with your facts and point of view.

Create a website with AI
Describe the page's purpose, supply the real information, and review the site as a visitor. This walkthrough uses ChatGPT Work to create a private one-page website for a fictional workshop, then corrects the page and checks what still needs attention.

Edit your videos with AI
Give a local AI agent the footage, describe the treatment you want and review a short sample before applying it to an entire recording. This guide walks through the setup, instructions, timeline and export using a real eight-second Hyperframes project. The demonstrated edit adds an animated title over existing footage and retains the source audio. A full spoken-video recut and caption pass are separate tasks.
Free training sessions
Watch how I teach.
I run live sessions every couple of weeks and post every recording. Nothing gated, no pitch at the end.
Working together
Two ways in.
Training makes your people capable. Consulting figures out where to point them. Most teams start with one and grow into the other.
