Practical AI skills for the work you do.
Organizations Alex has trained or worked with
Including Inc. 5000 companiesYou use ChatGPT to write emails and clean up the odd report. You've heard about agents, and you're not sure whether you're supposed to be learning those too. Every time you open a chat, you explain your job from scratch. Sometimes the result is good, but you can never quite repeat it. You know you're barely scratching the surface. You just don't know where to start.
Here's my role, my team, and the tone we use…
Thanks! Could you tell me more about your goals?
Let me explain the task again from the start…
Sure. What format would you like?
Where was that answer you gave me last week?

The Occasional User
You've used ChatGPT or Claude enough to know it's useful, and not enough to feel good at it. Sometimes the result is great; you can't say why, and you can't repeat it. You don't need more tools. You need a way of working.
The Overextended Manager
You run a team, a function or a client list, and "get better at AI" has been on your list for months. You've heard about agents and you're not sure what you're supposed to be learning. You want one practical way to use this in your actual work, and something to show for it.
The Job Seeker
Every posting asks for AI skills and nobody says what that means. You want to walk into an interview with something more specific than "I use ChatGPT": a workflow you built, what AI handled, what you checked, and a certificate that says so.
Employers are starting to expect it. Most people are still using AI occasionally.

Gallup Workforce Survey, 2025The AI Foundations Stack
A workflow that runs on your real work, a clear answer to "how do you use AI?", and a certificate that says you can, by October 14.
Your weekly report, update or follow-up comes back drafted in your standards, from your own emails and notes. You build it live in Session 1 and run it again in Session 2, so by October 14 it's yours, not a demo.
One way of working: context, a workflow, a review you trust. It covers ChatGPT or Claude and doesn't change when the next tool ships. You stop chasing and start using.
You'll know what to hand off, what to check and where your judgment matters. Your expertise is the part AI can't replace; this is how you keep it visible.
"I built a workflow that drafts our weekly update. Here's what AI handles and what I check." A real answer for a review, an interview or a client, with the AI Foundations Certificate from the AI Capable Institute behind it.
The AI Foundations Stack is built live on shared examples everyone can follow, then applied to your own recurring work. Not a tool tour.

Real results from real people — workshop attendees and implementation clients who are putting AI to work in their businesses.
Sageridge client
“Alex is the one who got me started on Claude. A few months later I’m building my own tools. I rebuilt my website so ChatGPT and Claude recommend me, and in one month, 3 of my 6 loans came from people who found me through AI. He doesn’t just show you the tools, he gets you to where you can keep going on your own.”
Adam StyerLoan Officer · Austin, TXWorkshop attendee
“I came to Alex’s workshop stuck. I’d been trying to build an investor intake tool in Claude Code and couldn’t get it live. Now Alex and Joe are building me an AI chief of staff that keeps my investor relationships organized, and I’ll run it right from Slack.”
Sageridge client
“After seeing what Alex showed at his workshop, I wanted everyone on our team at the same simple baseline. Not AI experts, just all of us operating at the same level. In ONE session he set Claude up for each person’s role, connected it to our tech stack, and helped us build simple agents to save hours a week. A really solid starting place, and exactly what we needed.”
Jon VromanFront Row DadsSageridge client
“I never seemed to have time to learn AI but Alex sat down and showed me everything I’d been missing. In an hour I had Claude draft my follow-ups in my own voice, build a simple dashboard for my life, and automate a task that used to take me 2 hours to do manually. I know it’s just the tip of the iceberg.”
Tony TilleskjorRecruiting · DeWinter GroupSageridge client
“Alex spent an hour with our team and got all of our wheels spinning. We’d had ideas for years, like a shared team brain and a CRM that actually keeps up with our relationships, that always felt out of reach. By the end of the session they felt possible, and he’d shown us exactly where to start. An incredible amount of value.”
Zac SagaySilver Real Estate Group · CompassWorkshop attendee
“Thanks guys! The workshop was really eye opening for me. I feel motivated and empowered to learn more about AI with less fear.”
Duke SchutzeWorkshop attendeeSageridge client
“I was grinding through 3 hours of manual analysis every single day. Now the system runs on autopilot, evaluates the data, tracks my positions, and delivers recommendations before I’ve finished my coffee.”

“I've reclaimed 10+ hours of my week with a production-ready system that finally handles my content, follow-ups, and finances while I sleep.”

Taught by someone who started exactly where you are.
I'm not an engineer and I didn't come from tech. When AI arrived I was where a lot of capable people still are: using it occasionally, without anything resembling a system. What changed wasn't learning to code. It was building my OWN simple system to take advantage of these tools to save me time, build useful tools, and make more money to support my family.
Now I'm the CEO and co-founder of an AI consulting firm, have worked with dozens of companies including an Inc. 5000, and have taught hundreds of people in workshops and trainings across the country to use AI so they don't get used by it. These tools will keep changing. A way of working doesn't. Hope to see you in the workshop!

Yes. It's built for nontechnical professionals who use ChatGPT or Claude a little and don't feel proficient yet. You don't need to code or build agents; you need to know the work you're asking AI to help with. We start from a blank chat and build up together.
Yes, one or the other. Bring the one you already use. The $20/month plan of either is strongly recommended; that's what we'll build with.
Everyone builds the same weekly-report workflow from shared examples so you can follow along. Then you map the method onto your own recurring work, whether that's reports, updates, follow-ups or summaries, so you leave knowing exactly what to build next.
A workflow you built and ran twice on real work: your context file, saved instructions and a review you trust. A clear answer to "how do you use AI?". And the AI Foundations Certificate from the AI Capable Institute.
No. This is the foundation: giving AI the right context, running a workflow you can repeat, and knowing what to check. Automation only makes sense once that's solid, and you'll know when you're ready.
No. Bring a laptop and a ChatGPT or Claude account. Everyone builds the same workflow from shared examples, then applies the method to their own work.
Two 90-minute sessions, both recorded. The workflow you build is work you're already doing, so it replaces time rather than adding to it.
Yes, both sessions are recorded. Watch the recording and complete your workflow to earn the certificate. Catch up on Session 1 before joining Session 2.
If your employer approves it under their learning policy, yes. You'll receive a payment receipt. Here's a request you can adapt:
Subject: AI workshop reimbursement request
Hi [Manager], I'd like approval for the AI Foundations Stack on October 12 and 14, 2026. Both sessions run 12–1:30pm Central / 1–2:30pm Eastern / 10–11:30am Pacific. I'll bring back a reusable workflow and the AI Foundations Certificate from the AI Capable Institute. Can this come from our professional-development budget?
Tools will change. The ability to give AI context, design a workflow, review its work, and apply your judgment won't.
