This AI Accelerator Master Class is a three-hour, hands-on workshop designed for writers and AI beginners who are ready to move beyond awareness and start applying AI for real efficiency gains. In her interactive session, Carol Chenot of AI Advantage goes deeper, helping participants identify which tasks AI can streamline, which should remain human-driven, and how to make those distinctions confidently. 


Through discussions on privacy, safety, and responsible AI use, attendees will gain a clear understanding of best practices for implementation. Using a structured deployment framework and guided workflows, participants will work to identify the best tasks for automation and map out next steps for integrating AI into their work. By the end of the workshop, they’ll walk away with a concrete plan: “I now know what tasks I should use AI with, which not to, and how to tell the difference. The next steps are clear.”
