Before you go further

Three questions to ask yourself before plugging AI into your daily work

These are questions we had to answer ourselves when we brought these tools into our own operations. Because there's a big difference between using ChatGPT or Claude on your own and starting to give AI access to your files, your tools and, eventually, your systems.

☝ Click a card to bring it to the front.
Our approach is simple: this program won't make you an expert in five sessions. The goal is rather to give you the right reflexes, a working method and enough understanding to use these tools far more effectively and safely. Above all, you'll be better equipped to tell the difference between something you can do yourself with AI and a project that should be governed at the organization level.

AI Fundamentals · self-paced

Before the first live session, each participant completes AI Fundamentals (video format, drawn from our AI Challenge): what AI is, what an agent is, what a digital brain is, and the difference between individual and corporate use. A comprehension test confirms the basics and keeps everyone at the same pace from the very first session.

A word from our founder

We didn’t learn AI from books. We rolled it out in-house, in our own teams, with our real files and our real security challenges. What we pass on today is simply what worked for us.

Jonathan LéveilléPresident and founder of Openmind Technologies

The Cowork Activation Program is that experience, packaged. Several clients asked us to show them how we did it. You don’t get generic training, but an implementation method that’s already been proven: in-house first, then with a first client.

After attending several conferences and webinars on AI, this is the first time I've found the content both clear and relevant.
