Live, in-person AI training · Manhattan & online

Learn AI with a real person at your side, one hour at a time.

Not a recorded course that's outdated before you press play. A friendly, hands-on session where we work on your actual life: your email, your questions, your pace. No jargon. No pressure. Nothing can break.

Taught by Charles, with Buttercup supervising.

Sound familiar?

You know AI matters. You just don't know where to safely start.

😵

AI overwhelm

Recorded courses go stale fast and never answer your actual question. You need a real person, in real time.

Drowning in busywork

Hours of your week go to things AI could shortcut, if someone showed you how.

🔒

Privacy anxiety

Nervous about your data? Fair. Every session covers exactly what to share and what never to.

The ClearDesk Course Series

Four steps from "never touched it" to confident.

Every session is live and in person: a coffee shop, a library, or an office. Online works too.

Skills, Connectors & Projects

From chat window to personal workspace

Give Claude a room for each project in your life, connect your calendar and email (only what you allow), and teach it your way of doing things. This is where it clicks.

Claude rides along in your web browser

Claude sees the page you're on and helps right there: explaining confusing websites, walking you through forms, comparing products. The internet, with a helpful passenger.

Save real hours

Workplace Efficiency Session: find your 3-5 hours back.

In a single 60-minute session, I sit with you and watch how you actually work: your inbox, your daily tasks, the repetitive stuff quietly eating your week. Then we set up real automations and AI workflows together, live, so you leave with time back, not just a list of ideas.

  • I watch your real workflow, specific to your job, not generic advice
  • We build at least one automation together, live, in the session
  • I teach you how to adjust or fix it yourself so you're never stuck waiting on me
  • You'll know exactly where AI can save you 3-5 hours a week
  • Ongoing support sessions available whenever you want a hand

In-person sessions

I'll come to you. Manhattan & beyond.

Online courses move too fast and can't answer your question. I sit next to you for a full hour, at a coffee shop, a library room, or your office, and we work on your actual situation together. It's also just nicer to learn from another human being.

Group sessions and workplace team trainings available. Online sessions too, anywhere in the world.

About Charles

Not a programmer. A regular guy who figured it out.

I'm an administrator, the kind of person who spends the day coordinating programs, managing data, and keeping up with a relentless pile of tasks. A few years ago I started using AI seriously, and everything changed. I automated most of my own workload. I got my hours back. And I did it without writing a single line of code.

I started ClearDesk AI because everyone deserves a real person sitting next to them, someone who looks at your actual week and says: here's exactly what to do. Buttercup agrees.
