Apps — Applied AI: Modeling How You Think // ChatGPT

Apps: Applied AI is a hands-on learning experience built around applications — not theory.

Instead of treating ChatGPT like a search engine or a “give-me-an-answer” machine, this workshop focuses on using AI as a thinking collaborator — something you can actually work with, not just pull responses from.

We’ll go behind the scenes of ChatGPT to shape how it responds, asks questions, and engages with your ideas — based on how you think, communicate, and reason.

Think less “asking better questions” and more teaching the tool how to think alongside you.

In this workshop, you’ll learn how to:

• move beyond copy-and-paste answers into real dialogue with ChatGPT,
• shape how ChatGPT responds by setting tone, boundaries, and context,
• get better results by pushing back, refining, and clarifying — not starting over,
• use AI to organize and sharpen your thinking instead of replacing it, and
• spot where you’re under-using the tool and open up more of its capacity.
  

You’re not learning tricks, hacks, or prompts. You’re learning how to relate — or model ChatGPT as a tool.

This event is a good fit if you:

• mostly use ChatGPT to ask questions, skim answers, and copy-paste results,
• haven’t spent time in the settings or personalized how ChatGPT works with you,
• feel like the responses are “fine” but not quite you,
• know the tool is powerful, but aren’t sure how to use it beyond the basics, and — or
• want AI to support real thinking — not just output.

And — or a/an:

• entrepreneur or founder,
• creative or systems thinker,
• strategist, or educator,
• writer, speaker, or facilitator, and — or
• neurodivergent or cognitively diverse (including ADHD).

Appetizers — Rice Bowls — are provided. The Rice Bowl menu includes the Chipotle Chicken Bowl, the Tropical Bowl (Spicy), the Chili Rice Bowl, and the Meatless Rice Bowl. Larger portions — as well as additional food and beverages — are available for purchase throughout the evening.

Bring a device — laptop, tablet, or smartphone. WiFi is available.
