Stop Re-Prompting. Start Building.
One practical build day: start your business brain, systemise one real process, and put your first agent to work - with the guardrails to trust it.
This is not a day about understanding AI. It is a build day. You leave with working assets in your own accounts, built by you on the day.
You Know AI Can Do More. You Just Haven't Had the Right Structure to Get There.
You listen to the right people. You've tried the tools. But your actual daily usage is still a few drafts, some quick questions, an occasional brainstorm. The gap between where you are and what's possible is real, and it is not closing on its own.
You're using AI like a slightly better search engine
You ask it questions, it answers. Sometimes an email draft. The capability everyone talks about, you haven't found it for your work yet.
You've tried, but nothing stuck
A few good moments, maybe a tutorial, then back to your regular workflow. The path from interesting to indispensable was never clear.
The experimenting phase has a ceiling
Random prompts produce random results. Without a framework for how AI fits your actual work, you keep circling the same starting point. The ceiling isn't the tool, it's the approach.
And the ground just moved again: both ChatGPT and Claude have now shipped always-on agents with approvals and permissions built in. The people who get value from them will be the ones with a business brain and guardrails in place first.
Every Part of the Day Produces Something Lasting. Not Notes. Not Slides. Work.
A configured platform and project
Your ChatGPT or Claude account set up properly, not left on defaults, with safety settings on.
A Business Brain seed
Your Business Overview, folder structure and router file, built and tested live. A context system your business owns, not a chat history locked inside one tool.
One-page Safe-Use Rules
Yours, written for your business.
A Priority Work Map
The AI Role Plan and KPI matrices, generated through the business brain you just built, cut down to the priorities worth acting on first.
A working Skill
One real process turned into tested instructions the AI runs the same way every time.
A system on a schedule
Your Skill set running on a rhythm, so it works when you don't.
Your first agent design, Governance Sheet and 30-day pilot plan
A bounded agent configured (or fully scoped where account access blocks it), with permissions, human review points and a kill switch.
Replay and All Workshop Resources
The full session recording and all resources are made available after the day so you can revisit the material as you apply it in your business.
New: the AI Business Context System Bonus Guide
Your take-home path for growing the remaining layers of your business brain over the year.
One Day. Built Around Your Work.
Every session is structured and practical. Whether you've barely opened ChatGPT or you've been experimenting for a year, the day builds from wherever you are.
Your Platform, Steady Hands
Level the room first. Projects, uploading files, settings, privacy and safety, set up on your own account. Confident users get an optional 20-minute pre-work video so they arrive ready.
Start Your Business Brain
The map, then the seed build. You create your Business Overview, your folder structure and your router file, then test it live against a blank chat so you see the difference.
Work Visibility
See the whole of the work in your business. Generate your matrices through your new business brain, then pick the ONE process to systemise today.
Prompt to Skill, Skill to System
Design, build and test a reusable Skill on your real process, then set it running on a schedule.
Agents + Governance
What agents are now, with a live walkthrough of the new ChatGPT and Claude agents. Design your first bounded agent, then switch the guardrails on: approvals, logging, a kill switch and a 30-day pilot plan.
What You Built Today
Review your outputs, set up your value tracker and leave with your growth path.

ChatGPT or Claude: Which Is Right for You?
There's no wrong answer. The workshop covers both. What matters is which one you personally commit to building genuine skill in first.
ChatGPT
The most widely used AI platform, with a large ecosystem of third-party integrations. If your team is already on ChatGPT, or you want the broadest tool connectivity, this is the natural starting point.
Claude
Handles longer, more complex work in a way that tends to shift how people think about what AI can actually do. If you want to go deep on reasoning, writing, and structured thinking, Claude is where that tends to land.
What Clients Say
"Working with Michelle Hill fundamentally changed how I engage with AI, and, more importantly, how I apply it in a disciplined, commercially meaningful way. Before working with Michelle, I had written articles for business publications years ago but had stopped. The time investment simply became unsustainable alongside client work. What Michelle helped me do was reconnect that capability with modern tools, without compromising quality, depth, or authenticity. Through her training, I learned how to work with AI as a thinking partner rather than a shortcut. By providing clear strategy, grounded insights, and real-world experience from decades in sales and advisory work, I am now able to consistently co-create high-quality articles for high-profile business magazines. It is still real work, thoughtful, considered work, but it is now achievable and, quite frankly, deeply enjoyable. The best way I can describe the experience is this: it feels like working alongside a trusted colleague, one with extraordinary intellectual horsepower, who genuinely wants you to succeed. Michelle gave me the capability to harness that partnership properly. If you are serious about using AI to elevate your thinking, your output, and your professional credibility, not dilute it, Michelle's work is exceptional."
Kurt Newman, Managing Director, Sales Consultants
"We have all been playing around with AI and I can highly recommend Michelle as an effective and efficient way of gaining a much deeper understanding of AI and how it can assist in major efficiency gains. Michelle's course is well structured, lays strong foundations, practical and most importantly, has given me confidence to not just build AI Workflows, but how to assess where in my business and my own work, I can maximise the use of AI. This is the help that many business people should invest in to get the right foundation to AI implementation."
Trevor Holmes
"As the BDM and Data Strategist at PaintBusters Australia, I was pretty sceptical about how much AI could actually help a business like ours. We were swamped with admin, systems and processes and had zero automation. Then, I met Michelle. She made the world of AI feel surprisingly practical and EXCITING. This wasn't theory. It was real stuff we could plug into our business straight away. I ended up building automations before we'd even wrapped up training and cut hours off my weekly workload. I was able to create well defined SOPs that our team has started working with already. Michelle didn't just talk about what's possible. She helped us make it happen. If you're running a business that feels too 'real world' for AI, she'll change your mind. Highly recommend."
Ishita Bhandare, BDM & Data Strategist, PaintBusters Australia
"AI is such a hot topic right now with Chat GPT leading the way. I have used Chat GPT in many ways for my businesses from creating content to helping me reply to emails and more. I attended one of Michelle's classes the other day. I thought I knew a lot about AI and Chat GPT however I was blown away by Michelle's knowledge. I left the training full of ideas on utilising this amazing platform to streamline tasks and more. I would highly recommend reaching out to Michelle to see how she can help you streamline your business by using AI."
Bobby Semple
"… In one day, I've learnt more than I could have imagined. I've created GPTs that are going to save thousands of hours and provide greater clarity for our HSE team. I can't imagine the productivity gains we will achieve after I've done day 2 of this training. If you are considering getting on the AI train (and you must!) I highly recommend Michelle."
Michelle Muir, Corporate Affairs & HSE Manager
What People Actually Ask Before Booking
Who is this for?
Business owners and operators who are already using AI in some form but haven't seen it genuinely change how they work. You don't need technical skills. You need to be willing to spend a full day applying structured learning to your actual business. If you're primarily using AI for quick questions and email drafts and you know there's more, this is your on-ramp.
Where is the workshop held?
The workshop runs online via Zoom. You'll receive your Zoom link and a short prep note after registration. All you need is a laptop and a paid subscription to your chosen platform.
Which platform should I choose, ChatGPT or Claude?
There's no right answer. ChatGPT has been around longer and connects to more third-party tools. Claude handles longer, more complex work differently, in a way that tends to shift how people think about what AI can do. What matters is which one you build genuine skill in first. If you're unsure, book a quick chat with Michelle before registering.
I'm a complete beginner. Is this too advanced?
No. The day is designed to work for people at different levels. Every session is structured and practical. If you can run a business, you can do this work. You'll need a paid subscription to your chosen platform and your actual work to bring on the day.
What do I need to bring?
A laptop, a paid subscription to ChatGPT Plus or Claude Pro, and a real work priority you want to apply AI to. You'll receive a short prep note after registration with everything you need to arrive ready.
Will we be building with AI agents? Is that safe?
Yes. You design and configure a bounded agent with approvals, logging and a kill switch. Nothing touches your live business systems on the day.
What is the refund policy?
There are no refunds, but by agreement you may transfer your registration to a future available date. Full terms and conditions are available at checkout. For any questions, get in touch.
Can my business reimburse this?
Yes. The AI Accelerator is a professional development investment and a tax invoice is provided. Documentation is available for your finance team on request.
One Day of Doing Beats Months of Experimenting.
Small groups, live via Zoom. Ready to book, or want to talk it through first, either way works.
No refunds. Transfers to a future date available by agreement. Full terms and conditions.
