About This Event

What to Expect

There's a massive difference between using an AI tool and partnering with one. Most teams open ChatGPT, type a prompt, copy the output, and move on. Every conversation starts from zero. The AI doesn't know your brand, your audience, or your standards.

This session fixes that. You'll learn how to configure custom instructions so your AI starts every conversation already knowing your voice. You'll set up project workspaces that keep context organized across campaigns. And you'll understand how persistent memory works, so your AI partner gets smarter over time.

The best part: once configured, any team member can use the same setup and get consistent, on-brand output.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need paid ChatGPT or Claude accounts?+
Free accounts work for the basics. Paid accounts (ChatGPT Plus, Claude Pro) unlock custom instructions, projects, and longer context, which are valuable but not required to get started.
Can multiple team members use the same configuration?+
Yes. The configuration document you build in this session is designed to be shared. Each team member loads it into their own AI account for consistent output across the team.
