About this live course

Most managers use AI for the easy stuff: drafting emails, summarizing notes. The hardest part of the job, developing people, gets none of that leverage. Every chat starts from zero, so nothing sticks.

Cowork changes that. It remembers your team, learns your style, and runs real work in the background. In this session, Dave builds a working setup live, aimed at frontline managers who want an AI chief of staff rather than a smarter autocomplete. In about an hour you'll see how memory, skills, connectors, and scheduled tasks turn one prep session into a system that runs itself each week.

In this session, you'll learn

5 outcomes

1Build an AI that remembers how you manage

Turn Cowork into a system that learns your voice, your preferences, your team's context, and your standards over time.

2Turn your best thinking into a repeatable Skill

Build a Skill once from real work you've already done, then run it the same reliable way every time.

3Automate your weekly prep

Connect your calendar and memory and schedule a Skill so next week's prep is done before you sit down.

4Wire the pieces together

Projects, the Chrome extension, and voice mode that talks back, connected into one working system.

5Point it at your team

Steer the setup toward accountability, follow-through, and developing your people, not just clearing your own tasks.
