AI as an Inspiration Engine: Custom Ideation Assistant (Guided Build Studio)
A Guided Build Studio to create and test a custom ideation assistant for your use case—so you leave with a reusable setup you can apply immediately.

Description
This Guided Build Studio is for learners who want to leave with a working, reusable ideation assistant configured for real work. In a small cohort with 1:1 instructor guidance, you’ll implement the Inspiration Engine workflow around a use case you care about, then build and test an agent-style AI assistant that supports your process from framing to options, refinement, and decision-ready next steps.
You’ll translate a real challenge into a structured prompt sequence, add constraints and quality checks, and incorporate examples and references that improve consistency. As you build, you’ll troubleshoot common breakdowns—drift, shallow results, repetition, or unreliable claims—and apply fixes that raise output quality fast. The emphasis is practical implementation: saving what works into a reusable setup you can run again, refine over time, and apply across projects.
You’ll leave with a configured assistant, a repeatable workflow setup, and a clear plan for where to apply it first to see ROI quickly.
Outcomes
Each outcome is taught through applied practice, so you can use the workflow immediately.
- Apply the Workflow to Your Real Use Case
Use your own challenge to run the Inspiration Engine from framing to options, refinement, and decision-ready next steps. - Configure an Agent-Style Ideation Assistant
Set up your assistant’s role, instructions, constraints, and examples so it supports your workflow and stays aligned to your intent. - Improve Output Quality Fast
Use constraints, exemplars, and verification checks to raise the usefulness of outputs in fewer iterations. - Troubleshoot Common Breakdowns
Diagnose why outputs drift, get repetitive, or miss the mark, then apply fixes that bring results back on target. - Make It Repeatable
Save what works into a reusable setup you can run again, refine over time, and apply across projects. - Leave with a Next-Step Plan
Identify where to apply your assistant first, what to measure, and how to keep improving results after the workshop.
The Learning Experience
This in-person, 4-hour Guided Build Studio is hands-on and implementation-focused. It’s best if you’ve completed Applied Ideation Workflow (recommended) or already feel confident providing clear instructions and constraints. Bring a laptop and a paid account for Microsoft Copilot, Google Gemini, or ChatGPT (OpenAI) so you can build and test during the session. You’ll work on your own use case with 1:1 instructor guidance and leave with a working assistant you can apply immediately.
