What AI is and what it knows
What actually happens when you type into an AI tool, where its knowledge comes from, and why it is sometimes confidently wrong. You’ll leave knowing when to trust an answer and when to check it.With Mike Chatterton
Memory and context
Why AI forgets, how to give it the context that makes its answers fit your work, and how a team moves from one-off chats to shared context.With Ross Pepperell
What it can do
What AI can do today beyond writing: documents, data, images and voice. Live demos, including turning a conversation into notes you can act on.With Jeremy Steer
Skills, agents and loops
How a task you repeat becomes a skill, what an agent really is, and how loops take routine work off your desk.With Mike Chatterton
Techniques that work
The prompting techniques that make the biggest difference, from giving it a role and an example to having it question you first and critique its own work.With Ross Pepperell
Risks, and setting AI up safely
We start with what worries you. Then the real risks, and how to set AI up so it knows what it should, can do what it needs, and may only do what you allow.With Jeremy Steer
Every session is a lesson from the platform.
What you see in each session comes from the AI Accelerator platform, where your teams get the full set of lessons, exercises and weekly updates.

Before you join.
Is it really free?
Yes. No card, no catch. We run it because people who see a lesson tend to want more of them.
Do I need to be technical?
No. Each session starts from first principles and stays practical.
Can I bring my team?
Yes. Each person registers on their own, so everyone gets their own joining link.
What if I can’t make a date?
Register for the ones that suit you. New dates go up each month, and following the calendar tells you first.
What changed in AI, in your inbox.
