AI at Work: From Blueprint to Build Mode Workshop

Move from AI experimentation to strategic solution design in this hands-on build studio. Leave with a custom assistant in ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, or a similar platform—tested, working, and ready to refine.

Out-of-the-box AI can be impressive, but it does not know your team’s language, source materials, standards, decision points, or what good work looks like. In this hands-on build studio, you will turn that internal know-how into a working assistant for a recurring workflow, use case, or priority task—creating a reusable tool that supports real business work. During the studio, you will build, test, and improve the assistant in real time to see how it performs against the work and related goals you brought to the workshop.

Open to both the RIT community and the public, individuals and teams are welcome to register. Organizations ready to move beyond AI experimentation can also partner with RIT Certified to deliver a customized build studio that helps teams create, test, and refine AI assistants using their own workflows, trusted materials, and organizational standards.

Before the workshop, you will share an assistant blueprint from Workshop 1 or connect with us to confirm your use case, goals, and approved materials. Our instructors review that preparation in advance so they can anticipate questions and provide focused guidance as you build. In a public session, you will apply the build process to your own use case with instructor support. Customized training creates more room to shape shared examples, activities, and assistant design around your organization’s approved materials, workflows, standards, and goals.

During the session, you will define the assistant’s job, context, trusted materials, instructions, examples, guardrails, and review steps. Then you will test it against representative scenarios, identify where it needs more direction, and refine it with instructor support. You will leave with a working assistant, a clearer understanding of what makes it reliable and useful, and a practical plan for testing and improving it in your role or team.
