2 live days · Your work, in practice
Turn an unclear request into useful work.
Choose Intro for individual summarizing, planning and drafting tasks. Bring a role-relevant example or use the supplied service-improvement scenario.
Build an AI working method around a project you recognize. Start with a useful brief, give recurring preparation and follow-up to proactive agents, then coordinate several proactive AI agent teams to carry a client or internal project through to a reviewed handover.
A professional often owns the space between an unclear request and a result someone else can use. The course follows a sample service-improvement project, with room to substitute a comparable assignment from your role while keeping scope, commitments and review responsibility clear.
What you learn
Learn to turn a work request into a clear prompt, check a project brief and compare options against the evidence.
The briefs and review standards you practice here prepare you for Intensive, where you create proactive agents and learn to hand suitable continuing project work to a Dot. Hands-on Dots practice starts in Intensive.

Intro
Days 1–2 · Tasks
Frame a useful first pass.
Direct one important task at a time. Give the prompt enough context, inspect the result and improve it before reuse.
Day 01Turn a request into a working brief
Use a sample service-improvement request or a permitted example from your role. Decide what the requester needs before asking AI to produce a polished answer.
- 1.1
Identify the decision and the user
Describe who will use the work, what decision or action it supports and the constraints that matter. Separate the stated request from assumptions about the underlying need.
Suggested time for this task: 1 hour in Full Course; 30 minutes in Crash Course. Part of your class day, not extra time.- Practice result
- A task brief with audience, purpose and boundaries.
- 1.2
Summarize the supplied evidence
Prompt a concise summary of the sample notes and documents. Attach references and mark disagreements, missing facts and questions for the requester.
Suggested time for this task: 1 hour 20 minutes in Full Course; 40 minutes in Crash Course. Part of your class day, not extra time.- Practice result
- A checked evidence summary and open-question list.
- 1.3
Write an actionable project brief
Combine the scope and evidence into a brief with deliverables, exclusions and acceptance criteria. Review it as the person who will receive the work.
Suggested time for this task: 1 hour 40 minutes in Full Course; 50 minutes in Crash Course. Part of your class day, not extra time.- Practice result
- A project brief and reusable briefing prompt.
By the end of the day
A clear project brief that defines useful work and makes uncertainty visible.
Review checkpoint
Check every commitment against the request and make sure missing information is not disguised as an agreed requirement.
Day 02Prepare a recommendation people can use
Compare a small set of project options and write a useful next-step message. Keep evidence, judgment and approval separate.
- 2.1
Compare practical options
Use supplied constraints to compare two or three approaches by effort, dependencies and expected usefulness. Mark estimates and assumptions rather than inventing precise benefits.
Suggested time for this task: 1 hour in Full Course; 30 minutes in Crash Course. Part of your class day, not extra time.- Practice result
- An options table with a clear basis for comparison.
- 2.2
Draft the next-step communication
Write a concise recommendation for the sample requester, explaining the proposed approach, unresolved choices and action needed. Keep unapproved commitments out of the message.
Suggested time for this task: 1 hour 20 minutes in Full Course; 40 minutes in Crash Course. Part of your class day, not extra time.- Practice result
- A draft recommendation and stakeholder message.
- 2.3
Refine prompts for your role
Review the brief and options against their sources. Refine the prompts for scope, summary, comparison and communication, with checks appropriate to your own responsibilities.
Suggested time for this task: 1 hour 40 minutes in Full Course; 50 minutes in Crash Course. Part of your class day, not extra time.- Practice result
- Practice adapting prompts to your role and checking their results against the brief.
By the end of the day
Practice turning a request into a clear brief, comparing options and explaining the next step.
Review checkpoint
Confirm that the recommendation explains its tradeoffs and asks for the right decision without claiming approval already exists.

Choose your starting point
One progression. Three choices.
Intro teaches individually directed prompts. Intensive puts recurring work into proactive agents. MasterCourse connects the whole pathway and adds the Factory Capstone.
Intro
Learn to turn a work request into a clear prompt, check a project brief and compare options against the evidence.
Choose Intro for individual summarizing, planning and drafting tasks. Bring a role-relevant example or use the supplied service-improvement scenario.
Intensive
Learn to build and supervise proactive agents for request intake, research updates, action tracking, deliverable preparation and reporting, with clear permissions and exception review.
Choose Intensive to move beyond one-off prompts into proactive agents that run defined work over time. The five days cover curriculum days 3–7.
Create and test proactive AI agents for project preparation. Name a role such as Project Follow-through, then hand suitable work to OpenAI Dots to follow accepted requests and dependencies between your reviews. Choose one run or a continuing responsibility, with approved connections, agreed reports and a clear way to pause or retire the work.
MasterCourse
Learn to connect role-specific prompts and proactive project agents into a Factory of proactive AI agent teams that research, plan, prepare and review work together.
Choose MasterCourse for all ten days and the exclusive Capstone. Test a bounded project from initial request to accepted handover using simulated updates.
Build a Factory of proactive AI agent teams for project preparation. Use a Dot to coordinate continuing work across their handoffs and return current actions, draft deliverables and decisions holding up progress. Test changing inputs, blocked work and a later restart. The project owner approves scope, commitments and stakeholder communication.
Intensive is a five-day purchase, not a seven-day bundle. The three-day Capstone is available only inside the ten-day MasterCourse.

Can Intro or Intensive tuition count toward MasterCourse?
The amount actually paid for Intro and/or Intensive can be credited once toward one MasterCourse enrollment within twelve months of each purchase. Intro and Intensive do not credit each other. No credit toward other programs, software or cash. Credit requests are reviewed against purchase records and eligibility; they are not an automatic checkout discount.
Full refund, transfer and credit policyWhat happens if I miss a day?
A missed day has a guaranteed place on the same curriculum day in a later cohort, free of charge, within twelve months of the original cohort's last scheduled day. After this window, new enrollment uses the then-published fee; day credits have no cash value and cannot buy a different curriculum day. An attended day may be repeated without charge within the same twelve-month window, subject to space. One free transfer of the whole seat or its unused days to a later cohort, in either published format, without a reason or a price increase, within twelve months of the original cohort’s last scheduled day. A day already consumed on one format is consumed on both; unused curriculum days are portable across dates and formats.
Full refund, transfer and credit policyWhat should I know before enrolling?
Full refund for a cancelled live program before its first scheduled session begins, including individual and group purchases and an approved MasterMind season. No refund after the purchased program starts, including dissatisfaction or absence, except for a session the provider fails to deliver. Statutory rights are unaffected. Partial attendance consumes the day under the published attendance rules. Read the full terms before choosing your class.
