What do I need to bring to an Ajai workshop?
A charged laptop, a real problem from your work or studies, and the willingness to type while we talk.
Almost every Ajai workshop is hands-on. Sessions are short on slides and long on doing. Here is what to bring:
A laptop. The course you signed up for will indicate if a laptop is required or optional. For most cohorts it is required. Phones and tablets are not enough for the work we will do together.
Access. Working accounts on at least one of ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini. The free tier is fine for most workshops. If a workshop needs more, we will tell you in advance.
A charger. Sessions run two to four hours and batteries die fast when you are working hard.
One real problem from your week. The workshops produce the most useful output when participants bring real work — a draft to tighten, a project to scope, a process to automate. Generic exercises are fine but specific ones change you.
Notes and a pen. Counter-intuitive but true. Writing by hand cements what you learnt typing.
An open mind for the room. Workshops involve sharing work and critiquing each other. The room moves only as fast as its most willing member.
We will send a check-in note with any course-specific kit a week before the session.
