Prompt Like a Pro: Make ChatGPT (and AI) Actually Do What You Want
Stop fighting with ChatGPT. Start commanding it.
The Great Friction's flagship practical AI workshop — launching in Salt Lake City.
Presented by The Great Friction in partnership with Better Than Coco, our inaugural Community Venue Partner.
Date & Time:
Wednesday, September 23, 2026
6:30 – 8:00 PM MDT
About This Workshop:
The Great Friction is a Salt Lake City–based Responsible AI education initiative created by Rosa Combs, J.D. This workshop makes AI practical and approachable for everyday people, while building responsible AI habits from the beginning.
This 90-minute, hands-on session is designed for people who already use AI, or want to, but know they could be getting much better results from it. Using ChatGPT as the primary learning environment, you'll learn how to:
Write prompts that produce clearer, more useful results
Give AI the context, direction, and constraints it needs
Improve a poor response instead of continually starting over
Recognize hallucinations and verify questionable information
Protect personal, confidential, and sensitive information
Know when AI is useful and when human judgment still needs to take over
Discover AI tools beyond ChatGPT, including Claude and Perplexity, and learn how to choose the right tool for different tasks
The workshop incorporates the PAUSE Principles™, part of The Friction Framework™, so that practical AI skills and responsible use are taught together. No technical background is required.
Your evening at Better Than Coco:
Enjoy the workshop in Better Than Coco's warm, intimate setting — the kind of small-group, community-centered atmosphere that makes it easy to follow along, ask questions, and leave with skills you can use immediately. Attendees are encouraged to support our host by grabbing artisan chocolates, hot chocolate, pastries, and other treats and offerings throughout the evening.
What to Bring:
Bring a laptop, tablet, or smartphone. This is a hands-on workshop, and you'll be using AI during the session. A laptop or tablet will give you the best experience, but a smartphone works too.
No paid AI subscription is required.
