Presentation

This course brings the maturity of more than 12 editions, updated and enhanced with AI.
It is not solely about “using AI tools.” It is about learning to think, decide, and create better in a context where AI is already part of the creative process.
AI learns with information systems, so we must learn to think differently than we have been doing.

We need much more than to understand how AI tools work and be amazed by the results obtained with these technologies. We are in the early stages, but there is a risk that creativity will become so operational that the creator may feel out of place. We need to deeply understand what our role will be in all this and understand that AI can work for us by responding to our change in mindset. We already know that it is here to stay and that it has more to do with mindset than with tools; it is about being better humans.

Throughout the course, participants will learn to integrate artificial intelligence as a support system for creative thinking, not as a substitute for human judgment. AI is used to explore, structure, contrast, and clarify ideas, while always maintaining the creator’s authorship, intention, and vision.

The program covers the entire creative process:

  • From a new mindset to an ecosystem of ideas
  • From a vague idea to a clear concept
  • From concept to viable project
  • From the project to the actual MVP and its monetization.

We work from an applied, strategic creativity connected to professional reality, a reality in constant change that demands flexibility and adaptability.

It’s not about creating more ideas, but about creating better creative decisions.
AI does not replace the creator: it forces them to be more aware.

Aimed at
  • People who want to improve and enhance their creative skills, embracing new and disruptive concepts.
  • Creatives, designers, strategists, and communicators who want focus amid so much uncertainty.
  • Professionals who already create but want to continue creating better and with more impact.
  • People who feel that AI generates noise and want order, criteria, and control.
  • Creative entrepreneurs who want to ground their ideas and expand their vision at a time of so much technological noise.
