🤓 AI For Non-Techies Workshop: New May Date Added
And a Few Other Reminders
I wanted to quickly resurface something in case you missed it.
A few of you mentioned recent emails didn’t make it to your inbox—and since last week’s edition included a few important updates, I wanted to make sure they don’t slip by.
📅 First, I’ve finally locked in the date for my next AI for Non-Techies workshop: Friday, May 2nd.
If you’ve been curious about AI but not sure where to start… or already working with tools like ChatGPT and Claude, this live-only session is designed to help you get dramatically better results.
We’ll focus on the most essential strategies and powerful capabilities, so you can start working with AI more intentionally and effectively.
We’ll also cover the newest and most capable features including Projects, Deep Research and ChatGPT Memory.
If you're new to AI, you’ll leave with a solid foundation and the confidence to get started.
If you’ve already been exploring, you’ll discover new techniques, insights, and use-cases to take your skills to the next level.
If you’ve joined a past workshop, think of this as both a refresher and a chance to catch up on all the updates and new features.
Check out full details below and sign up if you’d like to join.
🧠 Also—if you use ChatGPT and haven’t read Friday's edition, I highly recommend checking out the section on the new Memory feature.
It now allows ChatGPT to remember context and details across conversations—which can significantly improve your experience.
But it’s important to understand how it works, what it remembers, and how to manage it.
📨 Last thing—email filters are tricky right now.
To make sure future emails don’t end up in spam or your Promotions tab:
Add avisainewsletter@substack.com to your contacts
Move this email to your Primary tab
Or just hit reply and type “confirm”—that works too.
