Akakū Upstairs returns on Thursday, October 17th with an interactive educational salon, 'Overcoming the AI Learning Curve.' Climb the AI learning cliff with ease and join Jerry Isdale from the Maui Institute of Art & Technology for a hands-on workshop designed to help you conquer the initial learning curve of text-based AI systems like ChatGPT and Claude.

Topics covered will include crafting prompts, generating ideas, developing coaching materials, advanced tips such as working around token limits, uploading documents, and saving results for future use.
Attendees are strongly encouraged to bring their own laptops or smartphones and set up free accounts on ChatGPT (OpenAI) and Claude (Anthropic) beforehand. Limited workstations will be available at Akakū. Discover how AI can streamline your coaching, business, and personal tasks, making them more efficient and creative.
