AI Fundamentals: Make AI Yours: Personalizing your experience

Why Make AI Yours

Most people don’t have an AI problem. They have a blank-box problem.

Your people already have access to AI. Most of them open it, type a question, get a generic answer, and go back to doing things the old way. Make AI Yours fixes the starting point: participants teach their AI who they are, who they serve, and how they communicate, so the next chat starts with context instead of a blank box.

Dabbling

AI stays a curiosity

  • Copy-pasted prompts, no conversation
  • Starting from scratch every time
  • Generic, one-off results

Implementing

AI becomes a teammate

  • A real back-and-forth with AI
  • Context that carries forward
  • Consistent, on-brand output
What we cover

Ninety minutes. One AI teammate.

Every segment runs the same way: we show it, then everyone does it on their own laptop before we move on.

  1. 01

    Get everyone set up

    Accounts on laptops and phones, then a tour of the settings that matter: memory, models, and preferences. We also mark the edges: where AI is great, and where their judgment stays in charge.

    Setup
  2. 02

    Converse, don’t copy-paste

    There’s no magic prompt to paste in. Good prompting is a conversation: tell your AI who to be, what you’re after, the context that matters, and what you want back, then keep talking. Push back, add detail, ask for another take. Participants turn a vague request into a back-and-forth that lands somewhere useful.

    Conversing with AI
  3. 03

    Let your AI interview you

    Instead of filling out forms, participants have a conversation. Their AI asks ten questions, one at a time, about who they work with, how they communicate, and where they need help, then sums it up in a business profile they save.

  4. 04

    Write custom instructions

    From everything it learned, their AI drafts a set of custom instructions. Participants review them and paste them into their settings, so every new chat starts out knowing their business. Then they check that memory is on, so context carries forward from chat to chat.

    Instructions + memory
  5. 05

    Set up workspaces

    Workspaces are dedicated spaces for one kind of ongoing work.

  6. 06

    Shape writing styles

    Writing styles shape how their AI writes, so drafts sound like the person sending them.

    Writing styles
Inside the room

Two conversations they’ll keep having.

Neither is a script to memorize. Each one opens a conversation participants carry on in their own words. In your session, we use examples from your group’s industry.

Open the conversation

Act as a marketing coordinator. Help me announce a new service to our existing clients. Here’s what matters: it launches next month, current clients get first access, and the tone should be warm. Return it as an email under 150 words.

Then keep talking: “Shorter.” “Most of our clients are retirees.” “Give me three subject lines.” The first reply is where the work starts, not where it ends.

The interview

I want you to become my business assistant. Interview me — ask me 10 multiple choice questions, one at a time — to learn who I work with, how I communicate, and what I need help with most.

Then their AI summarizes what it learned into a document participants download and keep.

What they leave with

Their AI knows their business before they leave the room.

Participants walk out with working setups, not a page of notes. The next time they open their AI, it already knows the basics.

My AI knows my business, my market, my clients, and my personality.

  • Their AI assistant set up on laptop and phone
  • A business profile and custom instructions that give every chat context
  • The habit of conversing with AI instead of hunting for magic prompts
  • A working understanding of memory, workspaces, and writing styles
  • A clear line between what AI is great for and what it shouldn’t replace

Host questions

Before you book Make AI Yours.

Do participants need AI experience?

Not for Make AI Yours. It’s built for anyone, with no AI experience needed. Put AI to Work builds on Make AI Yours, so for a group that’s new to AI, we suggest starting with Make AI Yours or The AI Workshop Series.

Do participants need a laptop?

Yes. The workshops are hands-on and participants build on their own laptops as we go, so everyone should bring one, charged. A phone helps too, since Make AI Yours includes setting up your AI on mobile.

Which accounts do participants need?

Make AI Yours walks everyone through getting set up, and a free account is enough to follow along with most tools. Put AI to Work uses features such as connections to email and files, reusable instructions like the voice guide, and scheduled tasks that may require a paid plan, depending on the tool. We’ll confirm what your participants need before the session. The connections module uses Gmail, Google Calendar, and Google Drive, so participants need a Google account to connect their own. On company accounts, an administrator may need to allow the connection first. If your group works mainly in Outlook or Microsoft 365, tell us when you book. Build Your AI Team relies on features such as custom assistants with their own instructions and files, app connections, and automated workflows. These are often limited to paid plans, so we’ll confirm what each participant needs when we scope the session.

Can you tailor the workshop to our industry?

Yes. The workshops apply to every industry, and we shape the examples and practice conversations around your group’s work so the exercises feel familiar from the start.

How far in advance do we need to book?

At least two weeks before your workshop date. Send us the date you have in mind and we’ll confirm availability.
