How to Build your AI Proof of Work: Build, Pitch and Showcase Your AI capability in 90 mins
Light snacks and drinks included! Bring your laptop. Limited spots of 20 people so both facilitators can give you hands-on feedback. You will build something in this session and leave with it. Then join us for dinner nearby (optional - pay for your own dinner).
Plenty of people say they use AI. Very few can show a hiring manager or their boss one thing that proves it. In 90 minutes, you will build a mini-project with the AI tool of your choice (Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini), shape it into an artefact you can share, and practise pitching it. Think of it as your starting point for showing what you can do with AI.
What you walk out with
One finished mini-project built around a real job ad or a real task from your work.
A 60-second pitch: the problem, what you built, the result.
A simple 7-day plan to publish it and put it to use.
Who it’s for
Job seekers who want proof of skill beyond a line on a resume.
Working professionals who want to be more productive and build a case for a promotion or bigger role.
How the 90 minutes runs
Where you stand today: a quick live poll (5 min).
Prompting challenge: a live task, with dos and don’ts drawn from what actually happens in the room (15 min).
Build: job seekers reverse-engineer a target job ad and build an artefact that proves a required skill. Professionals pick a recurring work task, improve it with AI and quantify the result (35 min).
Pitch practice: in small groups with structured feedback (15 min).
Live teardown of one volunteer’s artefact (5 min).
Q&A (8 min).
Rahul shares how showing his work opened doors for him (7 min).
Choose your own tool
Use Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini, whichever you prefer. We will share our opinions on which tool tends to work best for which kind of task.
Friday Night Dinner and Networking: The venue is surrounded by great places to eat. After the session, we are heading out for dinner together, a relaxed way to keep the conversation going and meet the people you just built alongside. Joining is optional, and everyone pays for their own dinner.
