Questions, Answered

I'm a complete beginner. Is this for me?+

Yes. Every session starts with the basics and moves at a supportive pace. No technical background is needed.

What equipment do I need?+

A laptop or tablet with internet access. A phone works for some activities, but a larger screen is easier for practice.

Do I need a paid AI subscription?+

No. We start with free versions where available. If a paid feature is useful, it will be explained so you can decide.

Virtual or in person?+

Both are available. In-person sessions depend on location and group size - share your preference in the inquiry.

Is the training accessible?+

Please share any accessibility needs in your inquiry so materials and pacing can be adjusted.

Can the training be customized for our group?+

Yes. Examples, activities and focus areas can be tailored to your team, school or organization.

Is customizing an assistant the same as training my own AI model?+

No. Customizing means giving an existing assistant instructions, a voice guide and approved reference materials. Fine-tuning or training a model from scratch is an advanced topic with separate technical requirements, and can be discussed separately.

Will I share private information?+

No. We practice with fictional or de-identified examples. Please don't bring passwords, student or client records, or confidential documents.
