• Getting quotes, angles and gaps out of transcripts, documents and data
• Reworking a story for different formats and platforms

• Using AI to track and summarise media coverage
• Turning source documents into briefs and talking points
• Using AI to find angles and stress-test a pitch before it goes out

Bring one real problem from your job. Leave two days later with a working tool that solves it.

How it works

• Send us your problem a week out. We'll check it can be built in two days with the tools your organisation allows.
• Build in Claude, or in Copilot if that's what your organisation uses, with sample data so nothing sensitive leaves your organisation.
• Work with two facilitators and technical support in the room.
• Demo your build to the group on day two.
• Leave with a plan for using it at work.

Format

Two days, in person, Sydney. Capped at 14.

For

People comfortable with AI tools. No coding needed.

You'll need

A laptop and a paid Claude plan

Included

Lunch and light refreshments both days, and a handout
