Work with me

Bring the work.
We build it together.

The PossibNow newsletter is free. The paid work is the same loop with you in the room: your tools, your data, your constraint, and a result you can run on Monday. Have questions? Book a 30-minute call. No pitch on the call. Bring a task you do every week and we decide whether it is worth building.

Team Training

in one session.

Learn AI, Use AI, Build with AI, One Unified Loop. The same agenda works on Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini; each segment is shown on the platform your team uses.

Opening

  1. 0:00–0:05

    Welcome and how today works

    Goals, recording, the Learn, Use, Build loop. AI as a second colleague that does work with you, not a vending machine.

Learn: the fundamentals

  1. 0:05–0:15

    What AI is, in plain terms

    AI, machine learning and large language models; what these tools are good at and where they go wrong (confident mistakes).

  2. 0:15–0:25

    Prompts, starting with "Explain like I'm 5"

    Everyone tries the ELI5 prompt on a work concept, then sees the same question asked well. The CRAFTS method for clear requests: Context, Role, Action, Format, Tone, Safeguards.

  3. 0:25–0:30

    Context windows, tokens and usage limits

    What a token is, why long chats and large documents use up a limit, where to see your usage, and simple habits that keep you under it.

  4. 0:30–0:35

    Questions

Use: set up your AI and work safely

  1. 0:35–0:42

    Browser, desktop app and phone

    What each is best for, how files and notifications differ, and your recommended standard.

  2. 0:42–0:52

    Settings: personalization, privacy and security

    Set your own instructions (tone, format, defaults for your role). How training, chat history, deletion and memory work in your workspace.

  3. 0:52–1:00

    Data handling and confidentiality

    Your AI policy in practice: confidential and non-public material, personal information, what never goes in. Why work belongs in your organization's workspace and not a personal account.

  4. 1:00–1:05

    Break

  5. 1:05–1:20

    Projects

    Personal instructions versus project instructions versus your organization's instructions. Everyone creates a project and adds a reference document.

  6. 1:20–1:30

    Create, edit and share: the main demo

    Create a document, edit it yourself and with the AI, then share it inside your organization and control who can see it. The example is agreed with you in advance.

  7. 1:30–1:35

    Checking the AI's work

    Treat output as a draft. We check it against its source live, find the planted mistakes, and agree when output must be reviewed by a person.

  8. 1:35–1:40

    Questions

Build: work where you already work, then repeat it

  1. 1:40–1:47

    Inside the apps you already use

    What add-ins and connectors are and how they change the workflow.

  2. 1:47–1:57

    Skills and scheduled tasks

    Turn a request you repeat into something reusable so you stop rebuilding it. Schedule a recurring task, check when it runs, review its output and pause it.

  3. 1:57–2:00

    Wrap-up and next steps

    One thing to try this week, where questions go, and options for department breakouts.

Everyone leaves with their own instructions for the AI, a project with reference material, a shared document they have seen created, edited and checked, and a working understanding of your rules for safe use.
