Our Books

Navigate the AI Revolution
with Clarity & Confidence

We started developing digital learning over 20 years ago. Three years ago, we started the research that resulted in two books and forms the foundational knowledge our courses, our strategy, the frameworks, and the context our AI Assistants leverage to deliver you strategic AI literacy.
AI Literacy 

Two Ways to Begin

Master a skill. Or master the age.
One is complete. The other is continuous. Both deliver absolute value.

Individual Courses

Master a Skill.

Each course is a complete work. You choose a discipline and emerge with a new mindset.

  • Practical teaches you to direct AI with intention instead of hoping for the best.
  • Strategic teaches you to protect your brand voice before AI rewrites it for you.
  • Advanced teaches you to read what AI gives back with the same rigor you put into what you asked.
  • Agile gives you a repeatable method for building, testing, and learning so your work improves every iteration.

What's Included

One complete course. Course Sandbox. Playbooks and workbooks. Audio version.

The AI Literacy Program

Master the Age.

The AI Literacy Program is your commitment to stay current. AI literacy is not a destination; it is how you work now.

Assisting Intelligence

Assisting Intelligence documents first encounters with AI, making the concepts approachable by connecting it to the familiar—from the journey of a golden retriever to the lessons of history—and placing it firmly in the context of learning. It is a journey from a black box to a place of understanding. It provides the fundamentals for grounding agency, authenticity, values, and norms to hold onto.

Practical AI Style

Practical AI Style delivers the "how." It translates that philosophy into practice, providing the concrete grammar and lasting rules for directing AI. This is the authentic, structural work—grounded in the logic of language, not fleeting features—that ensures our courses are built on a foundation of reason.
