Feb 2026: AI Enablement for the Non-Technical
Open-source workshop materials for a two-day AI enablement session designed for non-technical teams. Six standalone interactive decks covering everything from tool basics to building reusable skills — fork it, adapt it, run your own:
-
→ 1a: Level Setting — What Is All This Stuff?
- AI tool tiers: browser chat, desktop apps, integrated tools, and agentic systems
- Security implications of consumer vs. enterprise AI accounts
- Moving beyond the AI adoption plateau in your workplace
-
→ 1b: Critical Thinking & Our 5-Year Prediction
- Augmentation vs. automation: knowing which mode you're in
- Building a QA instinct — read aloud, verify claims, ask "would I own this?"
- The 5-year divide: critical thinkers who use AI well vs. those who delegate blindly
-
→ 1c: Plan Mode & Milestones
- Avoiding "dark flow" — the illusion of productivity without direction
- Writing clear requirements and done-criteria before building
- Using milestones to prevent drift and verify AI output
-
→ 1d: Security & Data Safety
- What AI actually sees: files, web pages, and full conversation history
- The lethal trifecta: private data + untrusted content + outbound communication
- Prompt injection attacks and how to defend against them
-

- How context windows work: ~150K words of working memory, depleted per token
- Stateless APIs mean every request resends the full conversation
- When to start fresh vs. carry context forward
-
→ 1f: Skills — Make the Machine Remember How You Think
- Reusable instructions in plain English — no code required
- Do it manually 2–3 times before automating into a skill
- Setting the dial between prescriptive and flexible approaches
-
→ 2a: AI-Assisted Data Exploration & Analysis
- Live demo: how asking better questions changes the analysis — not just speed, but accuracy
- Six ways AI silently corrupts your data (duplicate rows, summing percentages, wrong time windows)
- The Three Questions sticky note: real or noise, what else could explain this, would I change my decision?
