I moved from ‘Ask me anything’ confusion to building real AI workflows and agents
From staring at ChatGPT's blank "Ask me anything" screen to confidently building AI workflows and agents—this information management professional transformed overwhelming potential into practical expertise through five months of intensive learning alongside industry leaders.
A year ago, AI for me mostly meant ChatGPT. Like many people, I had access to it—but then what? You open it and see “Ask me anything", and that was exactly the problem. So much potential, but no clear starting point, and that was only ChatGPT...
Over the past 20 years, my work has consistently focused on information management. Seen from that perspective, AI didn’t feel like a disruption, but like a natural next step. I wanted to build a solid, practical understanding, and that’s what led me to AI Mastery.
Over five months, we covered the foundations and mindset, Creative AI, Applied AI & Custom Applications, Automation & AI Agents, and—crucially—how to execute in practice. Alongside the classes came hours of experimentation and practice. Intense at times, especially alongside a full-time job (and no longer being 20 anymore 😉), but absolutely worth it. What made the program stand out was the people behind it. Thanks to the inspiring teachers who don’t just teach theory, but work with AI every single day and lead in their fields. This may be the end of the program, but learning never stops. I’m now taking my first steps in building AI workflows and agents, applying what I’ve learned in practice.
