August masterclass overview

What’s covered?

The August Creative AI Masterclass is for people who want to understand how AI can genuinely open up creativity. It is not only about learning tools. It is about learning how to think with them, direct them, challenge them, refine them and use them to produce stronger work across content, ideas, visuals, strategy and execution.

Each week includes one two-hour core session and one two-hour practical session. Monday introduces the key ideas, tools, frameworks and working methods. Wednesday is where we unpack examples, review homework, test workflows and develop the work further together.

By the end of the four weeks, you should understand how to use AI to think, create and execute with more confidence. Not by relying on one magic tool, but by knowing how to brief, direct, refine and combine tools in a way that improves the work.

Schedule

The August masterclass starts on 10 August 2026 and runs for four weeks. Live virtual sessions take place every Monday and Wednesday from 2pm to 4pm SAST. Monday focuses on core teaching. Wednesday focuses on practical application, homework, examples and feedback. Every session is recorded and shared in the content hub.

  • Monday 10 August & Wednesday 12 August
  • Monday 17 August & Wednesday 19 August
  • Monday 24 August & Wednesday 26 August
  • Monday 31 August & Wednesday 2 September

What you’ll learn

Learn the fundamentals of working with AI tools like ChatGPT, and Gemini. We’ll cover prompt structure, context, constraints, examples, output refinement and the thinking habits that help you get better results from the start.

Learn how to turn loose thoughts, briefs, topics and business needs into stronger creative directions. We’ll use AI to explore ideas, sharpen content, develop copy and build outputs that feel more strategic than “here are 10 captions”.

Learn how to approach visual AI with more direction and taste. We’ll cover image generation, editing, references, refinement, consistency and how to combine tools in a way that supports stronger creative outcomes.

Bring the full masterclass together by building a clearer AI workflow for your own work. This includes prompt systems, tool choices, content or visual workflows, practical application and where automation can help remove repetitive work.
