Four weeks, two live hours a week, and each person leaves with one working AI workflow built for their own job. $997 a seat. Send one person or the whole team; owners often send themselves first. The next cohort starts January 12.

## Who it's for

You run a team or a company whose work is documents, email, meetings, spreadsheets, and customer conversations. Your people use AI a little and you want them using it for real work. Nobody needs to be technical, and you don't need to attend, though owners who do get the most out of it because they see what to ask for afterward.

**Not for:** people who want to write code or ship an automation. That's the [AI Builder cohort](https://services.edgeteam.io/builder/).

## What your people get

- **A working AI workflow** each person built, ready to use on Monday, and a certificate when they finish.
- **Four live sessions with Andy Jorgensen**, Tuesdays at 11:00 Central, 60 minutes each. A second facilitator answers questions in chat.
- **Four office hours**, Thursdays at noon Central, where they drop in with a question or a screen.
- **Breakouts by platform** in weeks two and three: Claude, Copilot, ChatGPT, Gemini. They work in the tool your company uses.
- **A cohort Slack channel** that stays open after graduation, and recordings of everything the same day.

## What it asks of you

Two hours a week of each person's time for four weeks, on work time. A laptop and an account on the AI tool your company uses. If you're sending several people, one email from you saying it matters.

## The four weeks

| Week | Live session | They leave with |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | What these tools are good at and what they aren't, and the one workflow each person will build | A workflow, named |
| 2 | Their platform, hands on, in a breakout with people using the same one | A first working version |
| 3 | Context, reusable instructions, files, and turning a task into something repeatable | The workflow, repeatable |
| 4 | They show it, then how to keep it running at work | The workflow, running, and a certificate |

## What it costs

$997 a seat, by card. Buy one seat or twenty on one order. EdgeCore members and EdgeCore Pro and EdgeCorporate participants attend through their programs. Above ten people, [EdgeCorporate](https://services.edgeteam.io/edgecorporate/) is usually the better structure, because it adds the office hours and briefing that keep the workflows alive.

## What it is not

Every session is live and they build during it, so there's no video course to get through. Each person picks one platform and goes deep on it rather than touring all of them. There's no code, no terminal, and no automation tool.

## Where this comes from

Before the cohort there were the workshops: about 100 people in April, 140 to 150 in May, and a ten-person hands-on room in July with one instructor for every three people. Fifty-nine companies applied for the October run through the state grant program. And there's a nine-person nonprofit whose staff each built a workflow in one afternoon in June, a pre-approval letter generator, a whiteboard-photo transcriber, a brand skill, and were still using them months later. That afternoon is this cohort, stretched to four weeks so it sticks.

## Questions people ask before they register

**What do my people come back with?** A workflow they built and use, the recordings, the Slack channel, and a certificate. You'll know who finished.

**Do I need to attend?** No. Owners who attend get the most out of it, because they see what to ask for afterward.

**What if someone can't make a live session?** Recordings land the same day, and Thursday office hours pick up anything they missed.

**I've never used AI myself.** Week one starts from zero. That's the name.
