An evidence-minded course for organizing knowledge work, capturing meetings, testing research agents, and evaluating productivity assistants with bounded access.

Looking for step-by-step tutorials for individual AI tools?

Course overview

Design research and productivity routines as auditable workflows. The lessons cover workspace permissions, meeting capture, scheduled research agents, product-signal collection, feature evaluation, agent security, and voice-assisted work. Rather than promising automatic accuracy, the course asks learners to define source boundaries, check outputs, protect sensitive information, and retain a manual fallback.

Design least-privilege assistant and meeting workflows with clear approval points. Evaluate research-agent reports for source quality, omissions, uncertainty, and drift. Create privacy and security controls for connected tools and scheduled tasks. Produce a small evidence-backed research or productivity artifact with a review trail.

Intermediate comfort with digital files, web research, and workflow mapping is recommended. No programming is required; use synthetic or consented data for experiments.

Learners with basic familiarity who are ready to build practical, independent skills

People who learn best through examples, guided lessons, and hands-on practice

Professionals, creators, and independent builders looking for a repeatable workflow
