About the Service
What if you could use AI to reinvent your work, not just speed it up? That's what this course is about.
You'll learn the chef approach—a strategic approach to AI that helps you think big about what you can do with AI ethically and thoughtfully. Instead of chasing productivity hacks, you'll explore how to reshape your work in ways that enhance its meaning and value.
This is the first course in the series, the foundation for everything that follows.
The course combines mindset shifts with hands-on building. You'll work through an online tutorial that covers the foundations, then use the Brainstorm Studio—a dedicated chatbot I built—to create your own brainstorming chatbot. Once you've built it, you'll use that chatbot to discover how you should use AI to reshape your work. The course works for all levels, whether you're new to AI or already experienced.
By the end, you'll have:
A working brainstorming chatbot you built yourself
New mental models for thinking about AI
The skills to build more tools as your needs evolve
A clearer sense of where AI belongs in what you do
Work at your own pace. The course typically takes up to 10 hours, though you can go deeper if you choose.
Want some extra support? You can add a 1-hour consult with me for $100—to brainstorm ideas, ask questions, or talk through anything that comes up. The link is in the course content.

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.
