"Extremely valuable! Peter & Kris gave me customized guidance on building chatbots and streamlining my workflows for organizing my information faster and more efficiently. They’re Pros. They know their stuff and have very clear answers to your questions."
— Isaac Sharman, Communications Strategist
"Being able to use AI tools effectively is inevitably a boon in any profession moving forward. I'm in a career transition period, and having these newly-developed skills broadens the options available to me downstream."

"I think it was a very thoughtful, well-organized approach to what could have been an overwhelming topic... I made a bot version of myself that I am excited to apply to my work every day!"
— Jules Bernstein, Professional storyteller
"When we first started the course, and I knew we would present project at the end of the 6 weeks, I felt very intimidated. After my first one-on-one session with Peter, and later Kris, I immediately felt at ease. Their direct assistance along the way gave me a lot of confidence. It was extremely helpful to pick their brains and see their different processes in their own personal work."
— Denise Wolf, Creative Assistant Director
