What It Is

AI training built around how your team actually works.

Most AI training is too abstract, too technical, or built for audiences that don't match your team. We design every session around the real-world context Maine teams operate in — the ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, Google Workspace, and everyday workflow questions they already have.

Whether you want a two-hour executive briefing or a multi-session curriculum for your full staff, we scope and deliver it clearly.

If your organization is still deciding where to begin, start with a free AI readiness assessment, compare options in the pricing guide, or pair training with an AI audit to identify the highest-value workflows first. You can also preview our teaching style in the free AI training workbook.

Curriculum

What our AI training curriculum covers.

Every session is scoped to your team, but most Maine organizations draw from the same core modules. Leadership briefings stay high-level; staff workshops go hands-on with the tools your team already has open every day.

Prompt Writing Fundamentals

How to give AI tools role, context, and constraints; iterating on results; and building reusable prompt patterns for drafting, summarizing, and planning. Preview the basics in our free prompt engineering guide.

Safe & Private AI Use

What should never be pasted into public AI tools, handling client and donor data, confidentiality habits, and account settings that protect your organization. Based on our ChatGPT safety guide.

Review Habits & Hallucinations

Why AI output must be verified, where models fail with confidence, and simple review standards so AI-assisted work meets your quality bar before it goes out the door.

Microsoft Copilot in 365

Practical Copilot use inside Outlook, Word, Excel, and Teams — drafting email, summarizing meetings and threads, working with documents, and knowing when not to trust the output.

Choosing the Right Tools

ChatGPT vs. Microsoft Copilot vs. Google Workspace AI for your stack, free vs. paid tiers, and which settings matter before staff start using them on real work.

AI Policy & Guidelines

Turning workshop norms into a written acceptable-use policy: what to allow, what to prohibit, and how to keep it current. Start from our free AI policy template.

Staff understand data privacy and confidentiality considerations when using AI tools.

The organization has a starting framework for a written AI policy — ready to formalize.

Service Area

AI training across Maine — onsite and virtual.

AI Impact Maine is based at 30 Danforth Street in Portland and delivers onsite AI workshops throughout Southern Maine — including South Portland, Westbrook, Biddeford, Saco, and Brunswick — and travels statewide for team training in Lewiston-Auburn, Augusta, Bangor, and beyond. Fully virtual delivery brings the same hands-on workshop experience to distributed and rural Maine teams.

Not sure whether to start with training or an audit? Training builds skills; an AI audit first maps how your staff already use AI and which workflows carry the most value and risk — so the training lands on the right targets. If you want a quick read on where you stand, the free AI readiness assessment takes a few minutes and gives you a starting point either way.
