Go Past the Prompt
You use AI most days, and you can feel you’re at the edge of what prompting alone will give you. You know there is more these tools can do for you, but finding the time and space to figure that out is limited.
This day is that space. We’ll unpack your workflows and then you will build it, refine it with us until it works, and go home knowing how to build the next one yourself.

Pick Your Date
The Experience
Our experts will guide you through a day that is interactive, un-intimidating, and dare we say fun. This isn’t for your tech bros. This is for women who’d rather build the thing than hear about it.
→
No jargon.
We explain things the way you’d explain them to a colleague. If a term doesn’t land, we stop and sort it out before moving on.
→
A small room.
Twelve seats, so you get real time with a facilitator and nobody gets lost at the back.
→
Your own work.
You’ll spend most of the day with your hands on your keyboard, building something you’ll use on Monday.
→
No wrong questions.
Everyone in the room is working this out. Ask the thing you’ve been too busy to ask.
The Day
Get a feel for our Prompt Beyond retreat with a sample agenda. The actual day will look close to this, but adjusted for the group, their AI comfort level, and build-readiness.
9:00
Get situated. Arrive, grab a coffee, meet the people you'll be spending the day with.
9:15
Level set. We'll talk through the day, put the objections on the table, and get honest about where each of us is starting from.
9:30
The honest conversation. Even daily users carry doubts, about accuracy, about privacy, about what this means for the people we work with. We'll put them on the table and work through them together, because knowing where your own lines sit is what lets you use these tools with confidence instead of a nagging feeling.
10:15
Outside. Snack, fresh air, time on the grass.
10:30
Build, part one. Name what you’re building, then pick the right approach for it, whether that's a custom GPT, an agent, a skill, or something already sitting inside software you pay for. By the time we break for lunch you’ll know exactly what you’re building and why.
12:00
Lunch, then a stretch. We’ll take a pause to enjoy some lovely local food, each other’s company, and a walk or stretch in the great outdoors.
1:00
Build, part two. The focused stretch. You’ll build it, test it, and refine it with us until it works the way you need it to, inside the boundaries you set for yourself this morning. This is the portion where we get to work, testing and learning with one another. The goal is to find the solution you need for your context, not one that only sounds good in theory.
3:00
Snack. Step away, refill, compare notes with the woman next to you.
3:30
Sum up. We’ll look at what you built, what you learned along the way, and how you’ll spot the next workflow worth your time.
4:30
Done. You’ll go home with new skills, new confidence, and even some new friends.

Good for you.
Good for your team.
Our retreats support professional development. Here is the overview of the skills you’ll work on.
By the end of the day, you’ll be able to:
Spot which of your repeated tasks are engaging with AI and which ones aren’t
Choose the right approach for a task, whether that’s a custom GPT, an agent, a skill, or integrating a tool you already have access to
Build a working tool and refine it until it holds up against real work
Set clear boundaries on what these tools touch, and build inside your organization’s rules
Test what you’ve built well enough to know when you can trust the output
Run the same method on the next task without us in the room
You’ll leave with a method and a decision-making matrix. Once you can spot a workflow worth building, you can sit with a colleague and help them spot theirs. What you learn here you’ll be able to share with others.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
If your question is "how do I make this better" rather than "where do I start," you're in the right place. If you aren’t sure, you can always reach out.
-
We will figure out what workflow means in your context, but really it’s anything you repeat. Drafting proposals, sorting your inbox, summarizing meetings, prepping reports, scheduling doctors appointments. If you do it more than once a month – or a day – and it drains you, bring it.
-
We skip the ground-level material. Our assumption is you know what AI is and how it works, and that you have been using it with some regularity. You don’t have to be an expert, but you should have some experience. The morning finds the right fit for your workflow, and the rest of the day builds it.
-
You'll leave with a working first element and a clear plan for the rest. We'd rather you build something real that works than squash your goal to meet the agenda. Complex AI tools are built on a series of smaller tools, so we can develop a plan for each element, and start with the most pressing need.
-
Bring them all and we'll help you pick the one that buys back the most time and works to build in a day. What you learn to address one will help you address the others.
-
Yes. More than two, ask us about a private retreat instead.
-
Tell us when you register. Knowing your constraints ahead of time makes the day more useful, not less. Building workflows is similar in most tools and we can support ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Copilot.
-
Life happens. We can’t offer refunds, but we can move you to another retreat date, hold your payment as a credit toward a future one, or seat someone else in your place. Email us before the day and we'll sort it out.
Have a question we didn’t answer? Contact our team and we’ll be in touch soon.
Start curious,
go home confident.
Leave knowing what these tools do, when to reach for them, and how to take next steps on your own. Small groups, plain language, and our experts beside you the whole way.
A one-day, expert-led AI retreat for a small group of women who already use AI and want to build the tools, skills, and confidence to use it strategically.
