How to Make AI Work for You: Single-Session Online Workshop
An Imaginative Storm Zoom Workshop facilitated by James Navé
Saturday, September 26, 2026 · 2 – 4:30 pm ET
You've probably had some experience with artificial intelligence by now. If you have, you know that whether you love it, hate it, or don't know what to make of it, it's gonna be here for a while, like a good penny, or maybe a bad one. Time will tell.
So it's worth figuring out how to fold AI into your creative practice in ways that support your style, not flatten it.
By now, you likely know that when you lean too heavily on AI, you risk abdicating your creative sovereignty to its faux-authority. Of course, you don't have to. After all, AI is a perfectly good tool if you use it like a screwdriver, or your computer, or binoculars for birdwatching. But lean too heavily, poof, you might turn into Mount Everest—a little overly dramatic here, but you get my point—oxygen on, summit ahead.
Of course, you'll never be Mount Everest, but you can be the boss of your creative life. And that's what this workshop is about.
Here are a few of the many things we'll explore:
Format photographs and images for digital use.
Organize dictated text—100% verbatim—your words, into clean, readable copy.
See how your color choices change a design's feel.
Organize, outline, storyboard, and lay out project ideas.
Pressure-test your strategic plans.
Create readable, easy-to-understand documents.
Learn to spot when AI is confidently wrong — and build the habit of checking.
Explore the differences between ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude, including what each one actually does with your writing by default.
We'll also discuss how to use AI without surrendering your authorship, along with the philosophical, environmental, and ethical questions you want to consider.
