How has AI accelerator impacted me? Gosh, it just totally blew my mind. It was amazing just having that understanding in a really simple way. You didn't use any technical jargon. It really helped me to understand the power of AI and actually made me feel like I really need to school myself up on how to think differently about AI and how to really understand how to use it. So what specific features have I found most beneficial? So I think the use cases that you went through, I think so far we've been mainly using AI to create and edit copy like content, and that's just skimming the surface. I think what you took us through demonstrated that we can totally use AI to optimize our internal operations at wildfire. But we can also really think about how we develop products and services, how we market those to our clients, how we find the right clients for wildfire as well. There are so many different areas that we can apply AI and we've already started, Mike, we've already started this week doing things massively differently at wildfire. As a result of attending your workshop. What would I say to anyone considering the AI accelerator? I would say do it immediately, prioritize it for you and your teams because I think it will firstly just completely change the way you think about AI, but it will very quickly upskill you in what to do differently.

I've worked in technology for 20 years and have had practical exposure to both machine learning and data science for over 10. The last couple of years have been wild though and it's become impossible to keep up. My sessions with Mike brought me up to the state-of-the-art and I've come away with a new strategy for how I approach AI - one that I think will apply to future generations of AI too. I feel like I've finally internalised context, which is at the core of the new AI movement. I now habitually use my organisational and project prompts - along with some of Mike's other tips on context - with ChatGPT and it's massively improved the quality of the answers I get. This stuff is only going to get better and I'm excited to explore the new places I can apply what I've learned!

Hello. I bought the AI accelerator course last week. I thought the course was fantastic. I'm a digital product manager. For me, it was essential I started to get a better grasp of AI and I felt like this course has done so fantastically. Every topic is explained in clear, concise, short bullets and formats. It's very easy to digest. I'd recommend the course for anyone that wants to learn how to work more efficiently, not just for your working life, but also it's already helping me with things in my personal life. Course is great value. I've got a great understanding now. I could talk with techies and businesses about AI much more confidently, and I can also use it in my everyday life and working life much more effectively. Nice one.

What a fantastic insight into the world of AI. This course teaches you the fundamentals of what AI really is, how it works and most importantly how best to use it to your advantage. Mike is clear, concise and gets to the point. His modules are broken down into bite size chunks so that you can easily go back and reference something you want to use in the workplace. The use cases are fantastic and I would highly recommend purchasing and working through the entirety of this program to get the full benefits. The fact you get to keep the course and refer back to sections whenever you want, PLUS use cases are being added to the course content all the time is a bonus. Well worth the time and money.

I enjoyed learning from Mike at AI Accelerator about artificial intelligence. He made the content really accessible and relevant to my business specialism. A great combination of theory and tailored hands on practice has helped me plan for how to get real benefit from application of AI in the work I develop and deliver. Highly recommend.

I'd honestly recommend this course to anyone who wants to increase their awareness and competency around AI. It's pitched at the right level, neither too technical or too basic. Mike is a very personable coach and tutor, easy to listen to and follow. I found myself going back and forth between the videos and experimenting with AI and other software as I went. In reality, I discovered some things that I was doing right with AI through instinct and business experience. It was great to get it confirmed, and fine tuned. The majority of Mike's insights were new and all were highly practical. I particularly enjoyed the techniques to improve my research. Phenomenally useful. I have been using different techniques and Mike's method, is the best yet. This industry (AI) is going to affect and change everything. Don't underestimate the need to 'keep up'.

The go-to for your introduction to Generative AI. Mike also has brilliant use cases which bring the whole concept to life and how you might start using it. It's a developing area so having someone like Mike being an early adopter and then sharing his insights with you is invaluable and well worth the investment. Definitely keen to see what else he comes up with!
Bernard Fanning - Digital Futures Director at the Nichols Group
The AI Accelerator is a brilliant entry point into really understanding what AI is all about and its potential for day-to-day and work applications. Mike presents with an easy to digest style which keeps your attention. There are practical examples to bring it to life providing a good number of take-aways for personal application. I thoroughly recommend this to anyone wanting to know more about AI and how to use it.
