AI Foundations

Using AI as a Thinking Partner

Beyond Prompting

Most people use AI as a faster search engine, a writing assistant, or a tool for generating answers.

This course explores a different possibility: using AI as a thinking partner.

Over six weeks, participants learn how to externalize ideas, explore complex questions, recognize patterns, improve decision-making, and build a sustainable practice for working alongside AI. Rather than focusing on prompts or technical skills alone, the course helps participants develop a deeper capability: learning how to think with AI.

At its core, this course does not simply teach people how to use AI. It helps them recover access to their own thinking, creativity, and capacity through AI. For experienced users, it helps them move from scattered use to intentional practice.

The result is not just greater productivity, but greater clarity, discernment, confidence, and leverage in the work that matters most.

❋ Intentional Structure
  • Live weekly sessions

  • Small cohort (5–8 participants)

  • Hands-on exercises

  • Real projects and questions

  • Digital credential upon completion

❋ Collaborative Energy

Connection is a core part of the process. You’ll learn just as much from the group as from the content itself.

❋ The six Modules
  • Containers

  • Externalizing Thinking

  • Pattern Recognition

  • Decision Support

  • Creation & Communication

  • Building Your System

❋ Is this for you? 

This course is designed for professionals, founders, consultants, leaders, and curious learners who want to move beyond prompting techniques and develop a repeatable practice for working with AI as a thinking partner.

For those who see more than they can easily hold - complex ideas, live decisions, emerging patterns, and unfinished structures - this course teaches you how to use AI to turn complexity into clarity, decisions, and usable outputs, while keeping your own judgment, voice, and direction at the centre.

Digital Credential

Participants who complete the course receive the verified
AI as a Thinking Partner - Foundations credential.

  • “It’s not about learning how to use AI, it’s about leveraging it as an ally. The curated course and cohort helped me leverage AI as a mirror and build my systems thinking. So many hypotheses were tested live during an experiential process and the insights were transformative. Thank you for sharing your wisdom through a structured learning course.

    -Meeta Walia

  • “This course was an eye opener for me. I had been using AI as a glorified search engine and a quick generator of text or summaries. This course opened my eyes to the potential as a collaborator on much more complex topics and in understanding how to use AI to become a better human. Several of us used the tools to better understand relationships with family. I was really impressed, and much of it came about from improving the quality of the discussions with the AI engine. Thank you Kari and the rest of the group for bringing me along on this journey."

    -Markus Wallgren, Founder, Efflex Inc.

  • "AI is already a powerful force in our lives, whether we choose to embrace it or not. This course transformed my way of thinking and has taught me how to embrace AI as my active thought partner. The power will always be in my hands, mind and heart- AI has simply enhanced my clarity, objectivity and capability. "

private cohorts

Have a small team or group interested in learning together?

Private cohorts are available for organizations, leadership teams, peer groups, or professional networks with a minimum of three participants.

These sessions follow the same six-week AI as a Thinking Partner Foundations structure, but can be lightly tailored around your group’s shared context, industry, strategic questions, or current work.

This is a good fit if your group wants to use AI to think through real projects, improve decision-making, explore complexity, and build a shared language for working with AI in a more strategic way.

Private cohorts start at $3,500 CAD for up to three participants, with additional participants available at $950 CAD/person.
