Cohorts · learn live with us.
Small cohorts. Real practitioners. Six weeks to identify what AI can 10x in your work — yourself, your team, and your function — and ship the tools that get you there. Cohort 2 is in session · Cohort 3 waitlist open.
WHAT YOU LEARN · MAVEN COHORT 2
From AI-curious to AI-native · in 6 weeks
Five live sessions over six weeks. Each Saturday: 90 minutes live with us. Each weekday: a 10-minute Field Guide rep. By week 6, you've shipped a working tool.
📅 SCHEDULE · THE SIX WEEKS▾
AI Strategy & Your First Use Case
Three doors of AI · the vocabulary · the IMPACT framework · a live impact and complexity grid built from the room's own pain points · the anatomy of a Skill.
- Your pain points mapped on a live impact and complexity grid
- Your first 3 Quick Wins picked
- Your first "About Me" context Skill
- Claude Pro set up
Open deck
Define your Custom Skill · How do you work?
No live session this week. A short working-style doc, so your AI knows how you actually work. Use the 20 HR Skills Build Kit to see what a custom SKILL.md looks like with examples · pick one to design for your team.
- Your working-style doc submitted
- Memorial Day weekend rest (or build)
- Pick 1 Skill from the Build Kit · sketch the SKILL.md
Build the AI that works like you
The 5 building blocks of an agent · an AI-native JD checker built live across Gemini, Claude, and Copilot · a Chief of Staff demo · the SCALE evaluation · GitHub and Claude Code set up.
- Your first agent, built from the 5 building blocks
- The JD checker, seen in three tools
- GitHub and Claude Code installed
- Your build shared in the cohort chat
Open deck
Make it safe to ship
Skills show-and-tell from the room · Sandhiya's three JD skills · a JD Generator Hub built live in Claude Code and deployed to Netlify · Claude Code vs Cowork · the daily Granola routine · 4-Level Data Sensitivity and CLEAR governance.
- Your own Skill shared with the room
- A live build deployed to the web
- Claude Code and git in hand
- Your HR data run through the 4-Level check
Open deck
Deploy & make the case
Start with a spec, not a prompt · the spec (Goal, Input, Trigger, Output, Guardrails) · plugins, including Claude's built-in HR plugin · two live builds: Olivia's onboarding nudge and a compensation-change workflow · governance written in as NOT-ALLOWED lines.
- Your first spec, written out
- A real workflow built (a sheet, a trigger, a Slack nudge)
- Governance baked in as NOT-ALLOWED lines
- Part 2 to wire it up, at your own pace
Open deck
Capstone showcase & graduation
Looking back at the five-week climb · what you created (your skills, a plugin, your spec) · three reflections (what taught you something new, what you would ship, what made you rethink) · pick three peers to learn from · what stays with you.
- Your capstone reflection, on one slide
- Your three takeaways and peer picks, shared in the cohort chat
- The cohort chat stays open, the decks stay yours
- Graduation
