Workshops on
how to think
about AI.

Three 90-minute workshops for companies whose teams already use AI tools every day — and want shared vocabulary for where the tools help, where they get in the way, and what to do with the difference.

01 · What this is

The quieter use
of AI.

Most conversation about AI is about speed. These workshops are about something else — the slowness that pays off, and the moments where reaching for the tool is exactly the wrong move.

Each workshop pairs a single distinction — prediction vs. ambiguity, signal vs. sign, computational thinking vs. wisdom — with a live exercise your team takes into their work the next morning. No tool tour, no productivity tips, no prompt cheat-sheets. Vocabulary instead.

Built for teams that don't need to become technologists, but have noticed AI reshaping the terrain their work sits on — and want to name what they're seeing.

02 · The workshops

Three workshops.
Ninety minutes each.

On-site or remote. Each stands alone; together they build a literacy your team shares.

Workshop №1 · Prediction

Prediction, ambiguity, and
the limits of machines.

Where AI is powerful, where it falls apart, and what your judgment makes possible.

AI is, at heart, a prediction engine. It works beautifully when the future resembles the past and the problem has a right answer. It collapses where most creative and strategic work actually lives — in ambiguity: questions of taste, judgment, framing, what to make next.

This workshop hands your team a working framework for telling prediction problems from ambiguity problems, and includes a live Fermi-estimation exercise that makes the difference visceral in five minutes.

Workshop №2 · Language

Signal and sign.
Why machines can't be smart.

AI is fluent. It sounds like it understands. Fluency and understanding are not the same thing.

This workshop goes one layer deeper than the first — not what AI does, but how we communicate with it and what it actually is. The Jennifer Aniston neuron, the distinction between signal and sign, and a speak-and-draw exercise that shows in five minutes what is lost when a sign becomes a signal.

Your team leaves with a daily literacy practice for catching themselves in the moment of accepting a signal in place of a sign.

Workshop №3 · Computational thinking

When computational thinking
slows you down.

A 90-minute masterclass on Cortada's ladder, Koestler's bisociation, and the kinds of slowness that pay off.

The longest of the three, and the most substantive. We walk down Cortada's ladder of data, information, knowledge, and wisdom; through Koestler's bisociation as a definition of creativity AI cannot satisfy by design; and the holarchy that contains every creative act.

Includes the Levels of Specificity exercise — a drawing tool teams keep using long after the workshop ends.

03 · How it works

Three formats.

Each workshop runs ninety minutes. Three ways to bring it in:

On-site at your office. Up to twenty people. NYC included in the base fee; elsewhere with travel. Materials and the exported artifact included.

Remote. Zoom, up to thirty people. Same exercise, asynchronous follow-up. Works well for distributed teams.

Quarterly retainer. A series of four themed workshops across a quarter — the best fit for teams adopting AI in production who want the literacy embedded in the culture rather than delivered once.

Pricing scales with format and team size. Use the form below for a proposal within two business days.
