Imagine turning a rough idea into a working prototype in a single day or building a custom AI toolkit that expands what’s possible in your work. With today’s rapidly evolving AI technologies, these capabilities are no longer reserved for specialized teams—they’re accessible to anyone ready to experiment.
In this interactive one-day workshop, you will gain hands-on experience with leading-edge tools such as v0, Lovable, NotebookLM, Perplexity, and Gemini. Through guided exercises and real-world use cases, you will learn how to:
- Rapidly prototype ideas and test solutions in hours, not weeks
- Streamline research and information synthesis with AI co-pilots
- Automate repetitive workflows to free up time for higher-value work
- Leverage AI for creative exploration and innovation across domains
No prior AI experience is required. This course relies on the use of an external, third-party tool that is not managed or supported by Stanford. Students must purchase their own tool subscriptions and can expect to spend $25-$100 per month. Please see the course syllabus for more details.
