Hands-On AI Workshops & Bootcamps

Stop watching.
Start building.

The best way to learn AI is to use it. Our hands-on workshops put you directly to work with AI tools, building practical workflows and developing skills you can put to use immediately. Less watching demonstrations. More learning by doing.

Taught by Sandra Mackechnie. Built by you. Useful by Monday.

THE MASTER SERIES

Three masterclasses.
Three big TA-DA moments.

Each 90-minute session builds on the last. No sitting through slides. You'll work directly with Claude Cowork on your own laptop, creating something useful in every session. And every workshop ends with a moment that makes you realize just how much AI can actually do.

NOVEMBER 13 · SESSION 01

Build Your Claude Brain

Make AI Sound Like You

Your AI shouldn't sound like everyone else's. You'll create a folder that teaches Claude who you are, how you communicate and who you serve.

Then we'll run the same prompt before and after, so you can experience the difference between generic AI output and something that genuinely sounds like you.

THE TA-DA: Watch Claude transform from generic assistant to your personalized AI.

NOVEMBER 20 · SESSION 02

Make Claude Work For You

From Messy Idea to Finished Document

Bring an idea. It doesn't need to be organized or polished. Maybe it's a workshop, a proposal or an event you've been meaning to plan.

You'll describe it to Claude in your own words and watch it become a professional, ready-to-use document.

THE TA-DA: Your finished document lands in your Google Drive without you ever opening Google Docs.

NOVEMBER 27 · SESSION 03

Watch It Work

From One-Time Task to Recurring Workflow

We've all got digital clutter. This time, Claude tackles your screenshot chaos. You'll direct it to rename, sort and organize files while you watch the work happen.

Then you'll take the next step and schedule the process to happen automatically every Friday.

THE TA-DA: Claude organizes your screenshots today, then has a recurring task ready to do it again next Friday.

WHAT YOU'LL WALK AWAY WITH

An AI assistant that knows you, works with your apps and can keep working after you log off.

WHAT YOU'LL NEED

A paid Claude plan (Pro is fine), the Claude desktop app installed and signed in, and Google Drive connected to Claude for Session 2. Don't have a paid plan? You can still watch the live demonstrations and follow along.

WHO THIS IS FOR

Good fit. Not a fit.

You'll love this series if you're...

  • Curious about AI but unsure how to make it genuinely useful in your work
  • A founder, consultant, freelancer or professional juggling too many tasks
  • Tired of getting generic AI responses that don't sound anything like you
  • Sitting on ideas, proposals or projects you never seem to find time to finish
  • Ready to let AI tackle repetitive tasks and digital clutter
  • Excited to learn by actually doing, even if you've never built an AI workflow before

This probably isn't for you if you want...

  • A passive presentation where someone else does all the work
  • Advanced programming, software engineering or coding instruction
  • A basic introduction to writing ChatGPT prompts
  • A certificate without getting your hands dirty

MEET YOUR INSTRUCTOR

"Prompts are a commodity. Your edge is your scar tissue."

Sandra Mackechnie
Founder & Principal Consultant, SlickMinds.ai

I believe the best way to understand AI is to get your hands on it. After more than two decades leading sales, marketing and technology teams, I've seen how quickly tools change and how much human experience still matters. Today, through SlickMinds.ai, I help people move beyond experimenting with AI to actually putting it to work.
