Stay above the line.

A one day AI workshop for people who work in energy. You cut the routine work out of your week. You keep the judgment. You leave with tools you built yourself.

Upcoming Dates: December 2 - Houston, TX

The idea

There is a line. It keeps rising.

Below the line is the work that repeats: the handover, the permit, the weekly report. AI is learning that work, and it learns more each year. Above the line are four things no model can do for you.

Framing the problem

The alarm is a symptom. You pick the real question.

Judgment

Shut it down now, or run to the turnaround.

Field experience

What you learned at the unit, not in the SOP.

Trust

You call it early. The crew moves.

The noise

Most people lose two days a week below the line.

Shift handovers. Hunting for P&IDs, procedures, and incident history. Drafting scopes, permits, and MOCs. Reconciling the historian and the CMMS. Chasing work orders and vendors. Twelve to twenty one hours a week, in a typical energy role.

You leave with

Five clear outcomes.

01

Your tools, fully used

Copilot, Claude, or ChatGPT. Whichever your company has, you leave using it well.

02

Safe data, real automations

Company data moves safely. The automations worth the effort get found.

03

Top use cases, shown live

The biggest time savers in energy work, demonstrated on real tasks.

04

Patterns that hold

Best practices and repeatable patterns you can hand to your team.

05

Principles for the organization

Workforce fundamentals for staying above the automation line, together.

Plus

Five moves, built on your work

Capture the handover. Retrieve the P&ID. Draft the MOC. Check the number. Run follow-ups in the background.

The day

Six sessions. Six things you make.

Laptops open. Every session ends with something real, built on your own work, with the tools your company already allows. No coding.

08:30

The line

Where the line sits in your role today, and where it is heading.

You leave withYour week, split above and below the line.
09:15

Name the noise

Name the recurring work that eats the week and put hours against each item.

You leave withYour noise list, ranked, with hours attached.
10:45

Build the moves

Hands on keyboards. Capture, retrieve, draft, and check, set up on your own live work.

You leave withA working tool for your top noise item.
13:00

Fuse the week

Wire the moves into your routine and hand one recurring task to a background agent.

You leave withA fused weekly routine, and the hours it gives back.
14:15

Pick your lane

Decide where the reclaimed hours go and who benefits when they do.

You leave withYour lane, your audience, your one sentence.
15:45

Guardrails and commit

Data handling, OT and safety boundaries, and a thirty day plan with a buddy.

You leave withA team working agreement and a signed thirty day plan.
Guardrails

Speed, without the own goals.

Built around your own policy. In an energy business, one careless incident ends the permission for everyone.

Do
  • Approved tools only, for company data.
  • Every output is a draft. You own the final word.
  • Verify the number and the procedure before it moves.
  • Share what you build with the team.
Do not
  • Paste confidential data into public models.
  • Ship AI output unread.
  • Point AI at OT or safety-critical calls.
  • Let the tool make the call your judgment is paid for.
Your facilitator

Taught by someone who has built it.
