AI Productivity & Automation

Live, one-to-one training built on your own business. Eight online sessions with Yves, on your files and the jobs you do every week, so each one ends with something already working for you.

  • 8 live sessions
  • One-to-one
  • Your own student portal

The learning path

Eight sessions, arranged around you

The themes stay the same. The order moves, and every example comes from your own business.

  1. AI Foundations & Prompting

    How these tools read what you write, and why being specific beats being polite.

  2. Build Your First AI Workflow

    Turn one job you do by hand into a repeatable process.

  3. Evaluate & Improve

    Tell whether a change actually helped, instead of guessing.

  4. Files, Data & Real Information

    Work from your own documents and records, not the model’s memory.

  5. Automating the Repetitive Work

    Get the routine steps to run without you starting them.

  6. Connecting Your Tools

    Make the tools you already pay for talk to each other.

  7. Guardrails, Review & Quality

    Know when to trust the output, and catch it when it’s wrong.

  8. Your Operating System

    Everything assembled into a system you run on your own.

Between sessions

Everything in one student portal

A month later, you can find the exact prompt from session two without digging through your inbox.

Applying

Start with a conversation

Tell us what you want out of it. If the program is not the right fit, Yves will say so.

  • Yves reads every application himself and talks it through with you.
  • If you are accepted, an email invites you to set up your student portal.
  • Applying creates no account and commits you to nothing.

Apply for a place

Each place starts with a conversation. No account is created until you and Yves have spoken.

How much have you used AI so far?

A sentence or two is plenty. This is what Yves reads first.

Questions about the Academy

Is it a group class or one-to-one?

One-to-one. Each student has their own sessions with Yves and their own student portal. There is no cohort and no group class.

How many sessions are there, and where do they happen?

Eight live sessions, held online. The eight themes stay the same, but the order moves around what you need, and every example comes from your own business.

What is in the student portal?

The plan for all eight sessions, a recap and recording after each one, the notes, prompts and files we build together, and any assignment between sessions, with feedback. Your progress is always visible.

How does admission work?

You apply with the form on this page. Yves reads your application and talks it through with you. If you are accepted, you receive an email to set up your student portal. Applying creates no account.

Do I need to know AI already?

No. The form asks how much you have used AI so far, from “new to it” to “fairly confident”. If you are already comfortable with prompting, we skip ahead.
