Ready-to-use prompt and instruction templates to build your own AI Agents & Assistants und AI-built Tools
You use AI at work every day – for questions, summaries, wordings. You write your own prompts or use what you saw from colleagues or in tutorials. And you still fix and check every result.
You know AI can do more, but you miss a structured approach to really get a nearly-finished deliverable instead of just helpful input and support on the task.
This course levels up your AI results: An easy-to-apply six-step workflow from beginning to end for your daily deliverables – emails, research, presentations and more - plus starting AI Automation with AI Agents etc. Verification and quality assurance are a core part throughout. All developed and tested in Strategy Consulting.
What you will learn
A six-step Standard AI Workflow to turn initial ideas into finished deliverables with AI:
From breaking down the task to briefing AI like a capable employee to refining and verifying the results. This Workflow leverages AI capabilities along the whole process to create day-to-day wok deliverables.
It works with every AI tool and the upcoming AI engine generations.
The Standard AI Workflow step-by-step applied to most common deliverables:
Business emails – escalations, decisions and sensitive messages
Management summaries – condensed key information and recommendations
Research– structured questions, validated findings, results briefing
Structuring and planning – problem statement, topic breakdown & analyses, work plan
Presentations – storyline, key messages, slide design
Meetings and workshops – agenda, formats, anticipation of discussions, protocol
Each chapter explains the success factors of each deliverable, builds live a complete deliverable and ends with a Take-home summary.
AI Automation with AI Agents & Assistants and AI-built Tools:
Start into further automating work tasks with AI - step-by-step building of automated solutions for typical work tasks with an example, no coding required:
AI Assistants – Automatic execution of recurring tasks based on stored instructions and templates
AI-built Tools – Usable small programs built by AI e.g. for simulations, business cases or result presentations
AI Agents – Takeover planning and executing complex multi-step work along defined objectives and guidelines
Deep dive into Quality assurance and AI error detection and prevention:
Typical weaknesses, errors and risk factors for AI mistakes. Building up on that,
Effective techniques how to prevent AI errors before sending the first prompt
Various verification techniques of AI results to efficiently detect and eliminate AI errors (claim checks, red-teaming and more)
The principles behind this course
Structured Workflows, not prompts – complete paths step-by-step from task to finished deliverable, not a collection of prompts to copy
Quality as a core skill – preventing and detecting errors of AI to ensure consistent high quality of results
Not Tool-specific – Workflows are working with ChatGPT, Claude, Microsoft Copilot and others; guidance is given where free or paid accounts make a difference
Built and proven in real consulting practice – authentic examples, case studies, typical pitfalls and lessons from real-world projects
Building on first AI experience – built for people who already use AI and want considerably better results from it
Take home the full workflow toolbox – Full prompts and instructions, checklists, templates etc. for all deliverables as download
