Your Learning Journey

Five practical modules over 5 hours in Manhattan. Discover useful tools, practice in guided workshops and ask your questions throughout the session.

Introduction: Meet the Group, Understand Everyone’s Goals and AI Needs

Meet your instructor and explore the group's goals and questions about AI, from everyday tasks to work and personal projects.

In NYC: meet the group and share your goals in person.

Module 1: Understand How Generative AI Works, Its Potential and Its Limits

Build a clear foundation of how generative AI works, what today’s tools are capable of, and where human judgment is still essential.

Example: understand why ChatGPT can produce impressive answers but can also make mistakes, invent information, or give different results depending on how you ask.

Module 2: Expand Your Creativity with 10+ AI Tools & 10 Real-World Use Cases

Discover 10 real-world business scenarios and explore 10+ AI tools to understand what is possible and which tools could be useful for your work, projects or business.

Examples: research a topic, develop content, create a presentation, explore an AI assistant or streamline a repetitive workflow. The instructor explains the tools, choices and limitations.

Module 3: Prompting - Create Text, Images, Video & Audio with AI

Learn how clearer instructions, useful context and iteration can improve AI-generated text, images, video and audio.

In-person NYC: practice in a guided prompting workshop with instructor support.

Examples: develop a written post, a visual concept, a short video concept or a voiceover.

Module 4: AI Productivity - Build Faster, Work Smarter

Explore AI workflows for everyday tasks instead of relying on isolated prompts. Learn to break a task into steps, provide context, review each output and decide what should remain under human control.

In-person NYC: build and test a workflow during a guided workshop.

Examples: turn meeting notes into a checked action plan and draft follow-up email, or organize research into a presentation.

Module 5: AI Agents - From Simple Assistants to Advanced Automation

Distinguish rule-based chatbots from AI-powered conversations, then explore agentic systems that plan steps, use tools and adjust their actions toward a goal. An AI assistant can use agentic capabilities, but a conversational interface alone does not make it an agent.

Example: an agent researches public information, compares options against your criteria and prepares a recommendation. You define its permissions, check the result and require approval before it sends messages, spends money or changes important information.

Learn where automation can help and where testing, privacy safeguards and human oversight remain essential.

Conclusion: Takeaways & Live Q&A

Review the key takeaways, ask your final questions and identify useful next steps.

In-person NYC: there is also time to connect and exchange ideas with other participants.

What is CAVERN AI?

CAVERN AI is a Generative AI training and consulting company whose journey began in Paris in 2024 before expanding to New York City. Our U.S. headquarters is located at 136 Madison Avenue, 6th Floor, New York, NY 10016.

We believe AI should be understood before it is adopted. That is why we do not oversell its capabilities or follow the hype. We explain what AI can do, what it cannot do, and how to use it practically, safely, and responsibly. Ethics, critical thinking, privacy, and human judgment are central to our approach.

CAVERN brings together a highly skilled team of AI instructors, engineers, AI agent specialists, content experts, and business professionals. We combine complementary expertise to make complex technology clear, accessible, and genuinely useful.

The company was founded by Arman Mkhytaryan, a former Marketing Director who earned an MBA in Artificial Intelligence in 2019, years before Generative AI became mainstream. He has since trained thousands of employees and students, bringing together AI expertise, business experience, and a practical teaching style.

Who is the Masterclass for?

The Masterclass is open to adults ages 18 and older only. No coding, technical background or previous AI experience is required. It is designed for complete beginners as well as people who have already experimented with AI and want to use it more effectively in their personal or professional lives.

For teenagers ages 14 to 17, CAVERN offers private AI lessons, booked by a parent or legal guardian. These are separate from the adult group masterclasses.

When is the next Generative AI Masterclass?

The next Generative AI Masterclass takes place on Saturday, December 12, 2026, from 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM, in Manhattan, New York City.

How long is the Masterclass?

The masterclass runs from 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM on Saturday, December 12, 2026, New York time, with 5 hours of demonstrations, guided workshops and Q&A.

Which AI tools will we use?

Depending on the session and the latest developments in AI, the tools may include ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, Gamma, HeyGen, ElevenLabs, Lovable, and other leading platforms.

Because AI evolves quickly, the exact selection may change. The Masterclass is regularly updated to focus on the most useful and relevant tools available.

Do I need to create any accounts before the Masterclass?

We may recommend setting up a few free AI-tool accounts before the workshop so you can spend more time practicing. You will receive setup instructions before the event. No paid AI subscription is required to attend.

What should I bring to the In-Person Masterclass?

Please bring your own laptop and charger. A tablet or phone alone will not provide the best experience for the hands-on exercises.

An elected refund is issued to the original payment method within 10 calendar days after we receive your choice; your payment provider may take additional time.
