You’ve been told to “use AI.” But between hype, half-truths, and a flood of tools, it’s hard to know where to start. AI-Native Foundations cuts through the noise. In two immersive days, individuals gain the fluency, frameworks, and confidence to put AI to work. Not just in theory, but in the flow of the actual day-to-day.
