Course details
Join Rachel Woods—founder of The AI Exchange—to learn how to build AI Playbooks: structured, high-fidelity instructions that turn unpredictable manual work into reliable, repeatable systems. You'll learn the MASTER method, a step-by-step framework for breaking down your responsibilities into clear tasks, writing playbooks an AI agent can follow, and building a library of workflows you own and control. In this course, you'll map your current work, identify where AI fits, draft and test your first playbook, and configure an agent to run them. By the end, you'll have a practical system for delegating work to AI—not just a concept, but actual playbooks you can use immediately. Designed for people already comfortable with AI who want to go from experimenting to operating. Whether you manage a team or manage yourself, you'll walk away knowing how to build, maintain, and scale your own AI Playbook library.
