🌱 “A coach is just a placebo – it’s a commitment to make yourself a better person.” Barrett Brooks
Hello Reader,
Most people treat AI like a search engine. They ask simple questions and accept whatever it replies. But if you want truly great results, you need to stop being a consumer of AI and start being a coach to AI.
In my next interactive workshop, you’ll learn how to train AI to think better, iterate on its responses, and refine its output—just like a great coach helps an athlete or artist to improve their craft.
🔹 What You’ll Learn:
✅ Why Coaching Matters – AI isn’t a genius; it’s a million dumb assistants. Your role is to train it to give you better answers.
✅ The Art of Iteration – How to refine AI-generated content through smart feedback loops.
✅ Power User Strategies – Use multiple AI models in parallel (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok) to compare outputs and optimize your workflow.
✅ Creating Custom Coaches – how to create Custom GPTs based on an author or a podcast, so you can be coached by the ghost of anyone published.
An LLM is only as smart as the operator guiding it.
By the end of this workshop, you’ll have a system for coaching AI to give you the results you actually want.

I’m not sure I believe it anymore. The most recent AI models make decisions that feel like judgment. They show something that looked like taste: an intuitive sense of what the right call was, not just the technically correct one.” – Matt Shumer
“We’re wired to respond to visible threats. We are not wired to anticipate invisible opportunities.” – Connor Boyack
AI is no longer a novelty skill. It’s become a practiced capability. The real AI advantage doesn’t come from knowing which tools exist. It comes from knowing how to think with them, reflect with them, and improve your judgment over time. In this hands-on, interactive session, hosted by Caelan Huntress, you’ll learn how to create a personal AI co…
