2 live days · Your work, in practice
Make deliberate generative edits.
Choose Intro for focused image prompts, concept comparisons and controllable edits.
A strong image must survive the brief, the edit and the handoff. Learn to direct individual generative tasks, delegate recurring production coordination to bounded proactive agents, and run a Factory of proactive AI agent teams that prepares a controlled asset set for creative approval.
Translate a visual intention into editable, reviewable files while controlling references, revisions and delivery specifications. Preserve the craft decisions that cannot be settled by a filename or an automated check.
What you learn
Learn to write creative prompts, compare visual references and review a layered image while keeping track of your edits.
The visual briefs, controlled edits and review habits you practice here prepare you for Intensive, where you create proactive agents and learn to hand continuing production preparation to a Dot. Hands-on Dots practice starts in Intensive.

Intro
Days 1–2 · Tasks
Frame a useful first pass.
Direct one important task at a time. Give the prompt enough context, inspect the result and improve it before reuse.
Day 01Turn a visual brief into a deliberate direction.
Work from a supplied image brief and permitted references. Use Firefly to explore a small set of concepts, then make the choice explicit.
- 1.1
Write the visual brief
Describe composition, subject, lighting, intended use and constraints from the supplied assignment. Separate required reference qualities from optional stylistic choices.
Suggested time for this task: 1 hour in Full Course; 30 minutes in Crash Course. Part of your class day, not extra time.- Practice result
- A visual brief and annotated reference sheet.
- 1.2
Compare concept prompts
Prepare a few Firefly prompts that vary one meaningful choice at a time. Record the reference inputs and prompt alongside each permitted output.
Suggested time for this task: 1 hour 20 minutes in Full Course; 40 minutes in Crash Course. Part of your class day, not extra time.- Practice result
- A small concept comparison with a prompt record.
- 1.3
Choose the production direction
Inspect the concepts against the brief. Write a selection note that identifies what to retain, correct or reject before production.
Suggested time for this task: 1 hour 40 minutes in Full Course; 50 minutes in Crash Course. Part of your class day, not extra time.- Practice result
- A selected concept and image-specific correction plan.
By the end of the day
A creative prompt set, reference sheet and justified visual direction.
Review checkpoint
Check the actual composition and artifacts. A convincing overall impression can conceal details that need correction.
Day 02Keep control of the edited image.
Carry one selected concept into Photoshop. Practice a bounded edit and inspect the working file as carefully as the exported image.
- 2.1
Make a controlled edit
Use a supplied image and a specific edit instruction in Photoshop. Preserve the original and organize the edit so the important choices remain reviewable.
Suggested time for this task: 1 hour in Full Course; 30 minutes in Crash Course. Part of your class day, not extra time.- Practice result
- A layered working image with the original preserved.
- 2.2
Inspect the difficult details
Review edges, lighting, repeated textures and subject consistency at useful viewing scales. Prompt a correction checklist from your observations, then make the necessary adjustments.
Suggested time for this task: 1 hour 20 minutes in Full Course; 40 minutes in Crash Course. Part of your class day, not extra time.- Practice result
- An image-specific review checklist and revised working file.
- 2.3
Prepare a checked export
Use the supplied delivery specification to prepare a sample export. Record size, format, version and source location; flag permissions questions for a person to resolve.
Suggested time for this task: 1 hour 40 minutes in Full Course; 50 minutes in Crash Course. Part of your class day, not extra time.- Practice result
- A checked sample export and source-file record.
By the end of the day
A reviewed working image, export and reusable edit-review checklist.
Review checkpoint
Compare the export with the working file and brief. Keep visual acceptance and permissions separate from technical completeness.

Choose your starting point
One progression. Three choices.
Intro teaches individually directed prompts. Intensive puts recurring work into proactive agents. MasterCourse connects the whole pathway and adds the Factory Capstone.
Intro
Learn to write creative prompts, compare visual references and review a layered image while keeping track of your edits.
Choose Intro for focused image prompts, concept comparisons and controllable edits.
Intensive
Learn to build and supervise proactive agents that organize asset requests, prepare editing instructions and track versions, review notes and delivery checks.
Choose Intensive when you can frame a creative task and want recurring proactive agents to coordinate repeat production work.
Create and test proactive AI agents for asset preparation. Name a role such as Production Desk, then hand suitable work to OpenAI Dots to follow production requests and keep edit instructions, previews and revisions connected. Choose one run or a continuing responsibility, with approved connections, agreed reports and a clear way to pause or retire the work.
MasterCourse
Learn to connect creative prompts and proactive production agents into a Factory of supervised proactive AI agent teams, with versioned asset handoffs and human approval before release.
Choose MasterCourse for all ten days, including the Capstone that connects briefing, production and quality review across proactive AI agent teams.
Build a Factory of proactive AI agent teams for asset preparation. Use a Dot to coordinate continuing work across their handoffs and return traceable asset versions, precise edit requests and outstanding defects. Test changing inputs, blocked work and a later restart. The creative owner approves image decisions and final delivery.
Intensive is a five-day purchase, not a seven-day bundle. The three-day Capstone is available only inside the ten-day MasterCourse.

Choose Intensive when you can frame a creative task and want recurring proactive agents to coordinate repeat production work. Choose MasterCourse for all ten days, including the Capstone that connects briefing, production and quality review across proactive AI agent teams.
What does Factory mean?
A Factory coordinates supervised teams of proactive AI agents around a shared outcome. Each AI agent team has a defined responsibility, a deliverable and an acceptance check for the next handoff. You control permissions, review exceptions and approve release. The MasterCourse-only Capstone tests continuing cycles as well as individual runs.
Are recordings available?
Yes. Students can access recordings of their classes in the members portal.
How long is each class, and how many days do I attend?
This Intro has 2 class days. Full Course lasts 6 hours each day, including lunch and two short breaks. Crash Course lasts 2 hours 30 minutes each day, including one short break. Choose one format for the whole course. Both cover the same topics; Full Course gives you more practice time. Check your selected dates for the exact start and end times in your time zone.
Which time zone will I see?
The class chooser detects your time zone automatically. Use Change time zone to select another location; the dates and hours update together.
Can Intro or Intensive tuition count toward MasterCourse?
The amount actually paid for Intro and/or Intensive can be credited once toward one MasterCourse enrollment within twelve months of each purchase. Intro and Intensive do not credit each other. No credit toward other programs, software or cash. Credit requests are reviewed against purchase records and eligibility; they are not an automatic checkout discount.
Full refund, transfer and credit policyWhat happens if I miss a day?
A missed day has a guaranteed place on the same curriculum day in a later cohort, free of charge, within twelve months of the original cohort's last scheduled day. After this window, new enrollment uses the then-published fee; day credits have no cash value and cannot buy a different curriculum day. An attended day may be repeated without charge within the same twelve-month window, subject to space. One free transfer of the whole seat or its unused days to a later cohort, in either published format, without a reason or a price increase, within twelve months of the original cohort’s last scheduled day. A day already consumed on one format is consumed on both; unused curriculum days are portable across dates and formats.
Full refund, transfer and credit policyWhat should I know before enrolling?
Full refund for a cancelled live program before its first scheduled session begins, including individual and group purchases and an approved MasterMind season. No refund after the purchased program starts, including dissatisfaction or absence, except for a session the provider fails to deliver. Statutory rights are unaffected. Partial attendance consumes the day under the published attendance rules. Read the full terms before choosing your class.
