Welcome, operator
Over the next two days you'll become a Productivity Agent — learning to command artificial intelligence to do the boring work for you. Day 1 we understand how AI works. Day 2 we build real AI copilots and unlock the Grand Prize.
The goal: walk out with skills you use every working day — not theory, but real tools.

5 tips for success
- Give context. The more you tell the AI, the better the output (see the Prompt Cheat Sheet).
- Iterate. The first answer is rarely the final one — "shorter", "more formal", "add…".
- Verify. AI sometimes makes things up. You're the editor.
- Ask. We're a small team — call the host anytime.
- Have fun. Experiment — you can't "break" anything.
Useful screens: Mission Board (your missions), Scoreboard (shared progress on the big screen).
