By the end of this course, you’ll be able to build two custom AI assistants: one to spark fresh creative ideas and refine your concepts, and another to streamline your marketing, sales, and client communication. Taught by Vicky Barone, Collaborate with AI: Build Your Creative & Marketing Assistant is all about finding ways to make AI work for you and your creative business. This isn’t about asking AI to create for you or replacing what makes your work unique. It’s about building creative and strategic thinking partners that understand your goals, support your voice, and help you spend more time doing the work you love. Across three parts, you’ll explore how to set up your assistants, shape how they respond, and put them to work in your creative practice. This course is for artists, designers, freelancers, and creative entrepreneurs who want to experiment with AI to support their work and grow their business. By the end, you’ll know how to customize your assistants, brainstorm and develop ideas with them, and use them to make marketing and client communication easier. No technical background is needed—just curiosity, a willingness to experiment, and a desire to stay true to your creative vision.

By the end of this course, you’ll be able to use AI to make your writing clearer and stronger without losing what makes it yours. Taught by writer, designer, and creator Jacob Magnell, this course explores what happens when AI takes over your writing too early—and how to use it as a creative partner instead. You’ll learn how to identify where AI can weaken your ideas, build a process that keeps your thinking at the center, and use AI to edit and clarify your work without flattening your voice. Through hands-on experiments, you’ll compare what happens when AI enters the writing process at different stages and discover where it actually saves time—and where it doesn’t. This course is for writers, creatives, professionals, and anyone who uses AI to write but wants their work to feel more thoughtful, personal, and original. To be successful, you should have some basic experience writing and familiarity with AI writing tools, but no technical background is required. Most importantly, you should be willing to embrace a little friction—and see it as part of making something worth reading.
