Your leaders and your teams leave using AI on their own work, not holding a slide deck. On-site workshops, executive sessions, and a free first round you can play in about 15 minutes.
The licenses are paid for. A few people use them well, most use them like a search box, and some use them quietly on client work with no rules at all. Leadership is expected to have a plan.
The GO AI Academy closes that gap. We teach on your real work, in the tools you already pay for, and we leave your team with prompts, checklists and a policy they will actually use on Monday.
The Ownership Audit is fifteen questions about accountability, exposure and return: whose name is on the line when AI writes a bid or a safety document, which tools are already in use and on whose account, and what number has to move for any of it to be worth doing. Most leadership teams stall on four or five of them. That is the finding.

A short strategy game for leaders. Find your AI owl, then learn how AI actually produces an answer and catch the confident lie in an AI summary.
A half-day working session for up to 20 people. Your team builds two or three working AI assistants around its own workflows and tests them on real inputs before lunch.
For owners and leadership teams who need a plan they can defend. What to adopt, what to govern, and what to skip.
This is the core of every Academy session, whichever format you choose.
A language model predicts the most likely next words from your prompt and what it learned. It does not look things up unless it is connected to search. Anything you leave out, it fills with the most typical guess, and a fluent guess reads exactly like a fact. That is why verification is a skill, not a formality.
Vague in, vague out. A strong prompt has six parts, and running down the list is how a team gets useful output on the first try instead of the fifth.
Put the same task and the same prompt into each tool on the same day, then score the answers on criteria chosen in advance: accuracy, usefulness, voice, rounds to get it right, and fit with where the work already lives. There is no best AI. There is best for this task, under these rules.
Pick one task that happens every week, set the data rules first, and measure time saved and errors caught against how it was done before. A pilot that cannot show a number cannot earn a budget.
Verify every number, name and quote before it leaves the building. Disclose AI use where it matters. Keep confidential and customer data out of public tools. A written policy turns these from good intentions into how the team works.
A short call with your leads to choose two or three recurring tasks worth automating and to set the rules on which data can be used.
A short teach, then hands-on building in pairs. Every assistant is tested on real inputs before the session ends.
Optional 30 days of launch support to refine what was built, answer questions, and measure the time it saves.
Jenna Ahern lectures on AI at the University of Louisville College of Business.
Our team builds and runs AI assistants for clients across marketing and operations.
Louisville-rooted, on-site across the metro, and co-founders of the city’s monthly AI meetup.
ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Copilot. We teach on the one you already pay for.
Guardian Owl co-founded The AI Distilling Co., Louisville’s monthly AI meetup for veterans and the curious alike. Small batches, big ideas. Come see what other Louisville leaders are building before you bring AI to your own team.
Four leadership calls match you to one of four AI owls: the Snowy Owl (Pioneer), the Barn Owl (Operator), the Great Grey Owl (Sage) or the Guardian Owl (Protector). Then Module 1 shows you how AI really writes an answer and asks you to catch the invented claims in an AI summary. About 15 minutes, no sign-up required to play.
Modules 2 to 5 follow: The Brief, The Pilot, The Backfire and The Boardroom.

Guardian Owl Digital runs the GO AI Academy in Louisville, Kentucky. It offers on-site AI workshops for teams, executive AI briefings for leadership, and a free online first round. Sessions are led by Jenna Ahern, who lectures on AI at the University of Louisville College of Business.
A Team Build Day is a half-day, hands-on session for up to 20 people. We cover how AI produces answers and where it goes wrong, how to write a six-part prompt, and how to check the output. Then the team builds two or three working AI assistants around its own recurring tasks and tests them on real inputs.
Yes. The Executive AI Briefing is built for owners and leadership teams. It covers which AI pilots are worth running, how to govern AI use with a clear policy, and how to measure whether it is paying off.
No. The Academy is built for business teams, not engineers. If someone can write an email, they can do the work in the room.
We are tool-neutral and teach on the tools you already pay for, including ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Microsoft Copilot. The skills carry across all of them.
Both. Build Days run on-site anywhere in the Louisville metro. Executive Briefings can be on-site or virtual, and the free round is online.
It depends on team size and format. We scope it in a short call so the session fits the work your team actually does.
That is a different job from training, and we measure it with Visibility & Trust Intelligence: what ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Mode say about your brand, where those answers come from, and what to fix. A free Digital Diagnostic is the quickest first look.
The AI Distilling Co. is a free monthly community meetup open to anyone. The GO AI Academy is private training for your organization, built around your team’s own work.
Tell us about your team and the work you want AI to take on. We will recommend the right starting point.
