Small group classes where you can
ask anything and actually keep up with AI.

AI tools change every week. Michael's classes help you make sense of what's happening and show you how to actually use these tools in your own life.

Why live classes?

Small Groups, Real Connection

Max 10 people means you can ask the questions you're embarrassed to ask. Everyone's learning, no one's judging.

Live Q&A That Actually Helps

Stuck mid-class? Ask Michael in real time. You'll get an answer that makes sense, not a scripted response.

You See It, You Try It

We show you how AI tools actually work with live demos, then you get to try them yourself with someone there to help.

You Don't Lose Anything

Can't make it live? All recordings are saved for community members so you can catch up whenever it suits you.

What a class actually looks like

Here's a peek inside a typical TakeawAI session

0–5 min

Quick hello

Everyone joins the video call. Michael checks in, answers any questions from last time, and sets up what you'll cover today.

5–20 min

The walkthrough

Michael shares his screen and walks through a real AI tool — step by step, in plain English. You'll see exactly what to click, what to type, and what happens.

20–40 min

Your turn

You try it yourself with Michael there to help. No one gets left behind — if you're stuck, just ask. This is the part where it clicks.

40–50 min

Q&A and the TakeawAI

Open questions, tips for practising at home, and then the TakeawAI — one clear thing you'll remember and use from today's class.

The Starter Series

Four classes designed to go from "what even is AI?" to "I can actually use this"

Class 1

Your First AI Wow Moment

Diagnose a plant from a photo. Identify a landmark. Understand what AI actually is and what it isn't. We start with magic, not theory — so you feel it before you learn it.

The TakeawAI: "AI is already in your life. Now you'll use it on purpose."

Class 2

Write It in 30 Seconds

Draft emails, plan trips, summarise long documents, brainstorm ideas. Using Claude and ChatGPT properly — what to type, how to ask, how to get results that are actually useful.

The TakeawAI: "Be specific, be clear — and you'll be amazed what comes back."

Class 3

Research, Discover, Create

Use Perplexity to research anything in depth. Create original music with Suno. Read a holiday destination through your phone camera live. AI for curiosity, creativity and fun.

The TakeawAI: "AI isn't just useful — it's genuinely enjoyable once you know where to look."

Class 4

Build Your Personal AI Helper

Create a useful spreadsheet tool in Claude. Set up a personal AI assistant for something you do every day. Understand what's safe to share — and what isn't. Leave in control.

The TakeawAI: "You don't need to be technical. You just need to know what to ask."

Nothing to install. Nothing to break.

Every tool we use in class is a website you open in your browser.

Browser-only

Claude, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Suno — all free to open in a tab. No downloads, no installations, no account linking required.

Nothing can go wrong

If something doesn't work, we try the next thing. There's no way to break any of these tools, and nothing you type causes any lasting damage.

We show you what's safe

Every session covers what to share and what to keep private. You'll leave knowing exactly how to stay safe — without being paranoid about using AI.

Upcoming Dates

Classes run on weekday evenings, 7-8pm UK time. Small groups, max 10 people.

Why not just YouTube it?

Fair question. Here's the honest answer.

Free content is everywhere...

There are thousands of AI tutorials online. But most assume you already know the basics, use jargon without explaining it, or try to sell you a course that costs hundreds of pounds. It's hard to know what's good, what's outdated, or where to even start.

This is different.

You get a real person (Michael) walking you through things live, in a small group where you can ask questions without feeling silly. You'll leave each session with something you can actually use — not a 47-minute video you'll never finish.

Common questions

Answers to things people ask us

Nope. We start from the absolute beginning. If you've never used ChatGPT or you're already poking around with AI, we'll meet you where you are. Everyone learns at their own pace, and nobody gets left behind.

A computer or tablet with internet. That's genuinely it. No weird software to download, no setup hassle. Just show up, and we'll walk you through everything else.

If you're in our community, you get access to all recordings to watch whenever you want. If you're doing a single class and you miss it, we'll help you reschedule or make sure you can watch it later.

No. We cover ChatGPT, Claude, image generators, and other tools you actually use. The skills you learn apply everywhere, so you'll feel confident with whatever tools you want to explore.

Anyone who wants to learn. We've taught people from 25 to 82. There's no age limit and no such thing as too late to start. You just need curiosity.

Curious? Give it a try.
