In practice

What people actually build

Not demos - real artefacts from real senior leaders, often within the first 48 hours.

A chief operating officer built a live personal dashboard from scratch - calendar, email, health and daily signals in one view - in her first 48 hours.

Debug & patch

Traced an M365 bug returning only 9 of 50+ events and patched the underlying tool to use calendarView.

GTD board

Built a full Projects / Next Actions / Waiting For workflow with drag-and-drop and one-tap capture.

Action

Sent an email end-to-end within seconds of asking - not a prompt-and-copy workflow.

Practitioners, not lecturers

Taught by people who deploy AI in production every day - not a slide deck of theory.
