About the Service
You've learned the chef approach and built a chatbot. Now go deeper.
In this program, you'll advance your skills in a small group with individual attention. You'll explore advanced topics like sophisticated approaches to writing system prompts and how to connect your tools to external apps. The focus is on small group coaching, with topics tailored to what the group is interested in.
We meet once every two weeks. Between sessions, you'll work through an online tutorial, apply what you learn to your own project, and give feedback on another participant's work. When we come together, we discuss what came up and dig into your questions.
The program includes full participation in The Collaboratory, so you'll also be testing your chatbot with real users and building your user base alongside the advanced work.
By the end, you'll have:
Advanced skills for building more sophisticated AI tools
Deeper mastery of system prompts
Feedback from peers and from me throughout the process
The program runs for 10 weeks. Requires completing The AI Cooking Class and Become an AI Chef first.
Want some extra support? You can add a 1-hour consult with me for $100, or work with me on an ongoing basis as an advisor or collaborator.
The next cohort runs January 6–March 18.

What participants say
Jen Polk
Career coach
I came into this course as a regular ChatGPT user who often felt frustrated by the tool’s defaults. I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to build something meaningful, and honestly, I felt a little intimidated. Thanks to Ravit’s clear, step-by-step process, I built a working chatbot that directly addresses a pain point in my business. And it is working for me! I've used it a few times already with great results. The course gave me exactly what I needed: a way to decide what I wanted, create it, test it, and revise it in line with my goals, all without needing any coding skills.
Ravit's nuanced, thoughtful perspective stands out in a space too often dominated by folks teaching/chasing "hacks," which isn't what I'm after. (I want better, even if it takes longer!)
I left the course not only empowered to use AI more effectively for myself, but also excited about how I can apply these skills to support my clients. Highly recommended for anyone looking to turn genAI into a tool that truly works for them.
