A hands-on course with Manasseh Lee
Start with something you already know how to do. Learn where AI can help, how to give it clear direction, and how to judge what comes back.
Four live online sessions: October 26; November 2, 9, and 16, 2026.
Mondays, 7:00–8:30 p.m. Central. $125 covers the complete series.

The learning path
You don’t have to become a programmer. You need a task that matters to you, a way to explain it, and the confidence to question the answer.
Understand what AI can and can’t do. Practice the four-step method on a familiar task.
Draft a message, plan an event, or get an explanation. Learn to notice the warning signs of a scam.
Turn notes into next steps, draft customer messages, and check the facts before anything goes public.
Protect private information, verify claims, and keep the prompts and habits that fit your craft.
Guided practice, workbooks, and take-home guides support the series.

Try the method with a fictional garden club. The notes, prompts, and sample AI responses below are illustrative—not participant work or a transcript.
Give the task, the source material, and the boundaries.
“Turn these garden club notes into a short action plan. Use only the notes. Mark missing details ‘to confirm.’ Don’t invent names or dates.”
Ask for a first draft. Clear instructions help, but they don’t guarantee a correct answer.
“Seed swap: Saturday at 10 a.m. Recruit setup volunteers. Assign a setup lead.”
Compare the draft with the notes. Where did “Saturday at 10 a.m.” come from? It wasn’t supplied. The volunteer tasks are reasonable next steps, but no one has agreed to take them on.
Tell AI exactly what needs to change, then check the revised version yourself.
“Remove the invented date and time. Label proposed tasks as proposed. Leave the owner and deadline as ‘to confirm.’”
Date and time: to confirm.
Proposed task: recruit setup volunteers.
Proposed task: choose a setup lead.
Owners and deadlines: to confirm.
Try it with a non-sensitive task of your own: what is the one detail you would need to verify before using the answer?
Beyond the individual learner
The course is the starting point. If your group needs a shared introduction—or your business needs help with a specific workflow—we can talk about the right approach.
Organization training
For teams, churches, nonprofits, and community groups. Ask about the four-session series or the condensed 40-minute meeting edition: an introduction, a demonstration, and guided practice.
Discuss training for your group →AI consulting
Bring a recurring task, a messy handoff, or a process your team struggles to maintain. We’ll discuss where AI might help, what should stay human, and what a useful next step would look like.
