Focus
AI basics + Applications of AI across hospitality
Large language models are the gateway into generative AI for most professionals — but most people use only a fraction of what these platforms can actually do.
Tools covered
ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, NotebookLM, ChatPDF, and others
Generative AI has dramatically lowered the barrier between having an idea and being able to visualize it.
Tools covered
ChatGPT, Gemini, Canva, Gamma, Meta AI, Leonardo.AI, NotebookLM for infographics, Claude design capabilities, and others
AI can now compose music, generate realistic speech, clone voices, create podcasts, translate audio, and dramatically improve recordings — all without a traditional recording studio.
Tools covered
Suno, ElevenLabs, NotebookLM Audio Overviews, Descript, Adobe Podcast, and others
Creating high-quality video traditionally required cameras, production crews, actors, editors, and significant budgets. AI is changing nearly every part of that process.
Tools covered
Runway, Fliki, Artlist, ElevenLabs, HeyGen, Gemini and Google video tools, Descript, Google Flow, and others
The first generation of generative AI waited for you to ask a question. The next generation increasingly does the work.
Focus
Includes AI productivity tools for everyday work
You have an idea for a website, calculator, dashboard, interactive report, or internal tool. Historically, the next step was finding someone who knew how to build it. Increasingly, the next step can simply be telling AI what you want.
Tools covered
Lovable, Codex and ChatGPT, Claude Cowork, and others
The final workshop takes us from using software created by other people to creating our own. Welcome to vibe coding.
Tools covered
VS Code with Codex and Claude extensions and plugins
