What You'll Master

  • You'll configure an AI assistant with persistent memory and preferences, then put it through critical thinking boot camp. Learn to write prompts with specific evaluative criteria that get consistent results, practice divergent thinking exercises to offset AI's tendency to narrow creativity, and question your own assumptions about story, character, and style. Build a complete story framework using the Story Circle method, develop distinct character voices, and create a Director system that orchestrates multiple AI agents like a creative team. Master the art of managing artificial collaborators
  • knowing when to trust their output, when to push back, and how to maintain your unique creative voice. By the end, you'll have working character agents that can write full scenes in your style, plus the critical thinking frameworks to keep improving them. Perfect for writers who want AI superpowers without becoming generic.

Overview

Learn to use AI as an assistant, configure yours to both your writing style, and your actual needs. Align it to your values and use critical thinking and clinicaly-proven exercises to keep your creative spark shining brightly. Write a book with AI in one focused day - while becoming a better critical thinker and creative director. This hands-on intensive teaches spreadsheet queens and tech-adjacent professionals how to use ChatGPT or Claude to build stories from concept to completed scenes, no programming required. But this isn't just about prompting AI - it's about managing a creative staff, questioning your assumptions, and maintaining your unique voice when collaborating with artificial minds.
