Meanwhile, people are casually throwing around terms like “agents,” “prompts,” and “LLMs” as if we’ve all secretly agreed to understand them.
If you’ve wondered:
“Am I behind… or is this all getting unnecessarily weird?”
you’re not alone.
This interactive evening is designed to cut through the hype, jargon, and tech theater and help you experience machine intelligence in a way that feels practical, creative, and surprisingly human.
No coding.
No doom lectures.
No pretending to understand acronyms.
Instead, we’ll explore how machine intelligence can become a thinking partner — helping you think out loud, clarify ideas, explore creativity, and navigate decisions without replacing your own judgment or voice.
Through live demos, conversation, and hands-on interaction, you’ll experience:
voice-based AI in real time,
custom GPTs and how they work,
practical ways to engage AI naturally,
and a simpler, saner understanding of what this technology is actually for.
Bring your curiosity, your skepticism, and your real questions.
You’ll leave with:
a clearer understanding of what machine intelligence actually is,
a practical way to begin using it,
and probably the realization that this can be far more intuitive — and far more interesting — than you expected.
What to Bring:
Please bring a laptop and smartphone. This is a hands-on working session, and you’ll be using your own device throughout the evening. A paid machine intelligence account, such as ChatGPT or Claude, is helpful but not required.
Facilitators:
Kevin Daum is a strategist, communicator, and creator of the Think With Me framework for working with machine intelligence. In The Art of Intelligence, he helps people move beyond AI hype and generic prompt tips to use these tools as partners in thinking, communication, decision-making, and workflow.
Nina Crowe is a nonprofit executive, cultural strategist, and thought partner whose work bridges arts, community, business, and leadership. In The Art of Intelligence, she helps ground the conversation in human judgment, personal voice, and the real-life questions people bring.
