More Success Stories
"Chris, I wanted to share that for our 40th anniversary vow renewal, what I learned from you about creating different specialized chats absolutely saved me. I had my travel chat coordinate accommodations, my cooking chat plan every meal with wine pairings, my writing coach help with invitations, and my life coach chat keep me calm and organized through it all. It felt like I had an entire team of experts—because I did!"
"This course gave me something I never expected: confidence. I feel like I have a little genius sidekick living in my computer. My friends actually think I'm a tech wizard now—they text me for help and ask, 'Can you look that up with your chat thingy?'
Here's the truth: I'm not a tech person at all. I just learned how to talk to my AI assistant, and that's what this course taught me. The independence I feel knowing I have this available 24/7? That's priceless."
"My husband and I took a 6 week trip to Europe over the summer. With what we learned in the Genwise Learning course we had AI plan out the entire trip from beginning to end, down to every detail. Plane tickets, hotels and inns, which places to visit along the way, hidden gems, practically every restaurant, walking tours of sights. It was amazing, like having the ultimate travel concierge with us the whole trip!"

Learn About Private Concierge Training →Common Questions About Our Workshops
AI can sometimes "hallucinate" or provide incorrect information, especially when it doesn't have complete data but tries to fill in the gaps anyway. By default, AI often sounds confident even when it's uncertain.
That's why we teach you our proprietary "High Accuracy Non-Hallucination Mode"—a specialized technique developed by our co-founder that forces AI to rate its own confidence, disclose uncertainty, and flag when information is incomplete or conflicting. This dramatically reduces hallucinations and gives you transparent, trustworthy answers you can actually rely on.
You'll also learn practical techniques for cross-checking important information, understanding AI's limitations, and using it confidently for the right tasks. You stay in control—AI gives suggestions (with honest confidence levels), you make informed decisions.
But here's what most people don't realize: the truly transformative tools—the ones that make AI feel like having a genius assistant available 24/7—are almost entirely in Course 2.
What you get in Course 2 that you won't get in Course 1:
Advanced "super prompts" (2+ pages of sophisticated programming) that create permanent AI assistants for ongoing use:
- Personal language learning coach with progressive lessons and accent correction
- Life coach trained on wisdom from top authors and mentors
- AI tutor that keeps you updated on new tools and techniques indefinitely
- Prompt engineer that turns your rough ideas into perfect prompts automatically
- Deep research manager for major decisions (retirement planning, healthcare, big purchases)
- Legacy project manager that guides you through creating family cookbooks, memoirs, or wisdom collections
Bottom line: Course 1 teaches you how to use AI. Course 2 gives you permanent AI assistants that work for you long-term. If you want the complete transformation, the two-day workshop is where the real power lives.
