- Orchestration Layer: Connecting tools, APIs, workflows
- Self-Learning Feedback Loops: The system gets smarter with every interaction
Deliverables: Business Map across the 5 Dimensions • 2–3 AI improvement opportunities • Start of AI Advantage Map
Toolpower — The AI Stack & Hands-On with Real Tools
Core Aim: Show students exactly how to build the AI Brain using modern tools.
The Modern AI Stack
- Capture Layer: Fathom, Revio → capture calls, feedback, conversations
- Cognition Layer: Cursor, ChatAid, Gamma → thinking & content agents
- Memory Layer: Notebook LM → internal organizational memory
- Automation Layer: Zapier, n8n, Gumloop → workflows that execute tasks
- Insight Layer: Precision, Atlas → dashboards
- Experience Layer: Chat interfaces, AI portals for employees
Live Walkthrough: Fathom records a sales call → Notebook LM ingests the summary → Zapier updates CRM → Precision displays real-time metrics → ChatAid generates content from internal memory.
Deliverables: AI Stack Diagram • Detailed workflow: "Event → Data → AI → Automation → Result"
Intelligence in Action — Data → Decisions → Reflexes
Core Aim: Convert data into predictive dashboards & business reflexes.
Key Use Cases
- Dynamic Pricing: Inputs (demand, seasonality, competition) → AI-recommended price ranges
- Fraud & Risk Detection: Pattern detection, anomaly scoring
- Performance Benchmarking: Weekly KPIs, predictive trends, early-risk alerts (churn prediction)
Decision Intelligence Blueprint Workshop: Students define which decisions need improvement, what data is needed, what metrics to track, what the dashboard looks like, and what action the AI takes.
Deliverables: Decision Intelligence Blueprint • First dashboard sketch • Updated AI Advantage Map
