Workshop curriculum
Five modules · one intensive session
105 minutes of instruction and live exercises, followed by 15 minutes of open Q&A. Every module closes with a concrete, reusable takeaway.
Reframe how you think about your role and what your content actually produces.
Key concepts
- How AI is reshaping the way content is consumed and retrieved
- Readability vs. machine interpretability — the essential tension
- Content as a system, not a standalone artifact
- Content Maturity Model: Document → Structured Content → Information System
✏️ Activity · "Content Reality Check"
Evaluate a sample document as a group: Who is this written for? Can an AI extract meaning from it? Where would it fail? Leave with a gap analysis of your current writing approach.
📦 Takeaway
Writing is no longer the final output — it's structured input for multiple experiences.
Decode exactly how AI reads your content — and where it silently breaks down.
Key concepts
- Chunking, embeddings, and retrieval — a practical, non-academic view
- Why ambiguity and implicit context cause AI failures
- What actually triggers hallucination in AI-powered systems
✏️ Activity · "Break the AI"
Compare two versions of the same content — one written for humans, one structured for AI. Predict what the AI will extract and misinterpret, then see the actual outputs revealed live.
📦 Takeaway · AI Failure Checklist
Missing context · Implicit assumptions · Mixed intent · Unstructured flow
A practical framework for writing that humans can trust and AI systems can accurately retrieve and reuse.
Key concepts
- Context before instruction — why setup matters for both audiences
- Structured and semantic organization for clarity and AI indexing
- Consistency of language and terminology across a content system
- Improving AI retrieval readiness without harming readability
- Designing for trust and verification at every level
📦 Takeaway · Dual-Purpose Writing Template
Contextual · Structured · Consistent · Retrieval-friendly · Trustworthy
Shift from linear writing to retrieval-first content design — for search, AI answers, and reuse.
Key concepts
- Modular, self-contained, reusable topics — the atomic content unit
- Task-based structuring for AI-powered answers and search
- Designing headings, metadata, and tags for retrieval performance
✏️ Activity · "Chunk and Tag"
Break a document into atomic units, assign intent labels (task, concept, reference), rewrite headings for retrieval, and add metadata. Leave with a retrieval-ready content set.
📦 Takeaway · Atomic Content Checklist
One purpose per topic · Self-contained · Clearly labelled intent
Redesign your writing process to integrate AI effectively — without losing human oversight and quality control.
Key concepts
- AI as a collaborator — where it helps most and where you stay in control
- Human-in-the-loop validation: what to check and when
- Evaluating and improving AI-generated content before publishing
✏️ Group Exercise · "Redesign Your Workflow"
Map your current writing workflow. Identify where AI can assist and where human judgment is critical. Compare workflows across the group and extract shared best practices.
📦 Takeaway · AI Workflow Blueprint
Generate → Validate → Structure → Refine → Govern
Session closes with an open 15-minute Q&A — bring your toughest content challenges and get direct answers from the trainer.
