AI for Personal Projects & Creators

Use AI to move faster on the things you care about: side projects, content, and creative experiments. We focus on using tools like ChatGPT and Google Gemini as a thinking partner and drafting assistant — not as a replacement for your voice.

You'll leave with clearer ideas, repeatable workflows for creating, and a small library of prompts and templates tuned to how you actually like to work.

Program overview · Audio

A short overview of how this program helps you design, build, and use personal AI assistants without writing a line of code.

What you’ll be able to do after this program

Less overthinking and stalling, more steady progress on projects that matter to you.

  • • Turn fuzzy project ideas into concrete shapes you can actually start.
  • • Use AI to brainstorm, outline, and draft content without losing your voice.
  • • Run lightweight research and idea validation before you sink weeks into something.
  • • Create reusable templates for posts, scripts, emails, pages, and more.
  • • Set up a simple, realistic creative cadence you can stick to alongside real life.

Who this is for

  • • Creators, writers, and solo builders
  • • People with side projects they never quite start
  • • Folks who want AI to help them ship more — not sound like everyone else

What you’ll work on

  • • One or two real projects (not fake exercises)
  • • Actual drafts, outlines, and experiments
  • • A set of prompts tailored to your creative style

Curriculum at a glance

Four modules designed around how creators actually get work out the door.

Module 1

Brainstorming & shaping ideas with AI

  • Turn vague ideas into concrete project shapes
  • Use AI as a collaborator, not the boss
  • Find angles, audiences, and formats that fit you

Module 2

Outlining and drafting content

  • Design outlines for posts, scripts, and pages
  • Use AI to speed up first drafts (without copying)
  • Iterate toward something that still sounds like you

Module 3

Research, validation & tiny experiments

  • Use AI for lightweight research and synthesis
  • Pressure-test ideas before you overbuild
  • Design tiny experiments you can actually ship

Module 4

Keeping your voice & shipping consistently

  • Teach AI your tone and preferences
  • Create reusable templates for your projects
  • Set up a simple cadence you can sustain

1. Brainstorming & shaping ideas with AI

Use AI as a creative sparring partner to sharpen, not drown, your ideas.

We start with the messy part: you have ideas, but they're half-formed. We'll use AI to explore angles, formats, and audiences until a few concepts feel worth committing to.

  • • From “vibe” to project concept in a few iterations
  • • Getting AI to ask you questions to clarify direction
  • • Exploring different formats: posts, scripts, newsletters, tools
  • • Capturing ideas in a way future-you can act on

Exercise: idea shaping sessions

You'll run 1–2 of your own ideas through a guided “shaping” workflow:

  • • Clarify the audience, problem, and promise
  • • Generate 3–5 possible angles or formats
  • • Pick one to develop further in the program

2. Outlining and drafting content

Get to a solid first draft faster — then make it sound like you.

Next, we move from idea to tangible output. You'll use AI to build outlines, then rough drafts, while staying in charge of voice and direction.

  • • Outline patterns for posts, scripts, and pages
  • • Getting AI to handle structure while you add nuance
  • • Using passes: rough → clearer → in-your-voice
  • • Avoiding the “AI blog post” generic sound

Your drafting workflows

You'll design 1–2 repeatable workflows, such as:

  • • From idea → outline → draft for a blog or post
  • • From bullet notes → script for a video or podcast
  • • From messy document → cleaned-up public piece

3. Research, validation & tiny experiments

Use AI to learn just enough to move, not get stuck in research forever.

Here we use AI for light research and validation: clarifying the landscape, spotting obvious pitfalls, and designing small experiments instead of giant launches.

  • • Using AI for overviews, not final answers
  • • Identifying assumptions you should test
  • • Turning feedback prompts into quick surveys or questions
  • • Designing “tiny launches” and experiments

Experiment plan for your project

You'll design one realistic experiment for your project:

  • • What you’re testing and why
  • • The smallest version you can ship
  • • How you’ll interpret the results (in plain language)

4. Keeping your voice & shipping consistently

Use AI as a style amplifier, not a style replacement — and keep going after the cohort ends.

We close by dialing in your voice and your rhythm: how you want things to sound, and how often you can realistically ship new work.

  • • Capturing your tone with examples AI can learn from
  • • Prompts for “sound more like me, less like AI”
  • • Building simple templates for recurring content
  • • Designing a cadence that fits the rest of your life

Your creator playbook

You'll leave with a short, practical playbook that includes:

  • • Your main project(s) and their “why”
  • • Your go-to prompts and drafting workflows
  • • A simple schedule and next 3 things to ship

Format & logistics

Built for people balancing real jobs, real lives, and real creative work.

Schedule

  • • 3–4 weeks total
  • • Weekly live sessions (60–75 minutes)
  • • Self-paced work between sessions on your projects

Group size

  • • Individuals or small cohorts (3–12)
  • • Mix of creators, side-project folks, and builders
  • • No publishing history required — just interest

What you leave with

  • • Concrete progress on at least one real project
  • • Reusable prompts, outlines, and templates
  • • A realistic creative cadence you can keep up

FAQ: AI for Personal Projects & Creators

Questions people usually ask before bringing AI into their creative work.

Do I need to be a “real” creator already?

No. You might already be publishing, or you might just have a pile of ideas and drafts. The main requirement is that you have at least one project you care about and you're willing to work on during the program.

Won’t using AI make everything feel generic?

It can — if you copy outputs directly. This program is about using AI for structure, speed, and options while you stay in charge of voice, stories, and what actually ships. We'll spend real time on “this doesn’t sound like me” as a design constraint, not a footnote.

What if my project isn’t “content” — like a small tool or product?

That's fine. The same workflows apply: we can use AI for positioning, messaging, research, tiny experiments, and the content around your project (pages, emails, updates), even if the project itself is a product or tool.

Will anything be shared publicly?

By default, no. You control what you share with the group. Many people are comfortable sharing prompts and structures while keeping details or drafts private. We'll set expectations clearly at the start of the cohort.

Ready to use AI to actually ship your personal projects?

This program helps you turn AI into a creative ally — so your ideas don't just live in docs and chat logs, but actually make it out into the world.
