You're probably using AI already. Maybe you're getting decent results, maybe you're frustrated, maybe you're excited but ready to build agents and repeatable systems. Either way, you know there's more - but nobody's shown you how to get there in a way that makes sense for your work.
That's what the AI Immersion is. Four weeks, live, with a cohort of leaders across the sector. We'll show you possibilities you didn't know existed - and give you the framework to make them yours. By the end, you'll have designed and built your own personal AI system that you'll use every day.
The problem we've seen
People are sick of sitting through webinars that feel like sales pitches. Resources are filled with prompts that aren't designed for how AI really works. Maybe you've been using ChatGPT for months (or years) - but you haven't been shown the advanced capabilities and systems that can take you to the next level.
80% of AI training is run by tech companies trying to sell something.
People across the sector are missing out on HUGE value, and most don't even know what's really possible. The problem isn't you, and it isn't the tech. It's that most AI training show you tools but don't teach you how to think, how to design, how to use systems thinking. They skip the framework - the part that helps you figure out where AI fits in your world and how to make it work for the way you work.
That's the piece we give you. And once you have it, everything else clicks.
What shifts in 4 weeks
What is made possible when your approach to AI fundamentally shifts.
Why you're ready
The people getting extraordinary results with AI aren't the ones with technical backgrounds. They're the ones who bring deep expertise, strong judgment, and a clear sense of what good looks like - and then learn to connect that to what AI can do.
You already have those things. What's been missing is the framework.
We teach mindset, methods, skills, and tools - in that order, because it matters. How you think about AI changes everything. The methods and approaches that work are learnable and repeatable. The skills are smaller than you think. And the tools - from generative AI to custom assistants to agents to deep research - make sense once you have the foundation underneath them.
Our team have spent 25+ years inside the nonprofit sector. We've written grant applications, balanced tight budgets, explained AI to sceptical boards. Every exercise, every example, every framework is designed for mission-driven work - not adapted from a tech company playbook.
We've trained 15,000+ nonprofit professionals in AI with a 4.9/5 rating. We love seeing participants have those 'aha' moments and the joy they have when they see what's really possible and realize that they can do far more than they realised.
A cohort of your peers
One of the biggest things we hear from past participants is that they loved learning alongside a community. Having people around them who work in similar contexts, share similar constraints, and are asking the same questions - it makes the learning stick in a way that solo courses never do.
Four live 2 hour AI Labs with hands-on experimentation built in. Not slides and talking heads - active, energetic, often surprising.
A dedicated space to share what you're building, get real-time feedback, and find out what's working for people doing your kind of work.
After the cohort, you get access to PLAI's AI Learning Platform for a full year - packed with resources, bonus sessions and expert support.
By the end of the Immersion you'll have a personal AI system - workflows, prompt library, your team of AI agents and a whole new way of using AI.
The four-week journey
Each week builds on the last. By week four, you'll look back at week one and wonder how you ever used AI any other way.
Everything starts here. We ground you in how to think about and approach AI - the principles, the mindset, the way of engaging that sets effective AI users apart. We clear out the wrong assumptions, the myths, the habits that have been quietly holding you back. Before you can build something new, you need to let go of what isn't working.
Now we open things up. What's possible across the full AI landscape - generative AI, multi-modal tools, custom assistants, agents, deep research, and features most people don't know exist. You'll see what sets the best AI users apart, understand the key levers, and start practicing skills across different tools and capabilities. This is usually the week where people say "I had no idea you could do that."
This is the step everyone else skips - and it's the most important. Before you build, you design. What does your AI need to know? What's the methodology? What context does it need? What does good look like? This is where the design thinking comes in - getting clear on the approach so you're scaling quality, not scaling mistakes.
You build it. Your own personal AI system - custom assistants, workflows, AI trained on your context, your standards, your way of working. Something you'll use every day. Something that produces results you'd put your name on. Whether you use it for yourself, share it with your team, or roll it out across your organisation - it's yours.
About PLAI
We started PLAI because we kept watching brilliant people in brilliant organisations get handed AI tools by trainers who'd never done the kind of work those people do every day.
Our team has 25+ years inside the nonprofit sector. We've run the campaigns, written the grants, sat in the board meetings. When we teach AI, every example comes from that world - because when you're applying AI to a safeguarding process or a funding application, the person in the room needs to understand what those things are.
We've trained over 15,000 nonprofit professionals. Our sessions are rated 4.9 out of 5. We've been ranked the top session at global social impact conferences. And we're advisors to UNDP and the World Economic Forum
We're called PLAI (pronounced 'play') for a reason - we teach through games, build labs, hands on work and juicy conversations.
Enrollment
We keep groups small on purpose - so everyone gets proper attention and the cohort works. At $955 AUD, this is less than a single day of freelance consulting for something that gives you clarity, confidence, and your own personal AI system you'll use every day.
Next cohort · May 6 to June 3, 2026 · Live cohort format · Includes 12-month AI Spark access
Questions
The best AI users aren't technical - they're people who know their work deeply. We designed this for people like you: smart, experienced, curious. We don't assume any tech background. The skills we build on - design thinking, iteration, creative problem-solving - are things you already use. Some of our most impressive builds come from people who said "I'm not technical at all" on day one.
Fair. This is a live cohort, not a content library. You're on a schedule with real people. Every week there's a session to show up to, a peer group who'll notice if you don't, and something you're building. The two-session guarantee means the only risk is showing up twice.
2 hours live. Most people spend another hour or two between sessions. Around 3 hours a week. We designed this to be worth your time, not consume it.
Probably not. Most people who join are already using AI in some form - they just know they're not getting what they should be. The Immersion goes well beyond the basics: custom assistants, agents, advanced workflows, design methodology. Week 2 is usually where experienced users have their biggest "I had no idea" moment.
We hear this a lot. The framework you'll learn doesn't expire when the tools change - it's about how you think, not which buttons you press. The two-session guarantee means you can decide for yourself once you're in.
Everything is recorded and shared within 24 hours. The live experience - the energy, the experimentation, the conversations - doesn't translate perfectly to a recording though. Protect the time if you can.
12 months of AI Spark access - monthly sessions to keep you current as AI keeps moving. Your cohort network stays active. You're not on your own after week four.
We'd encourage it. When two or three people go through together, the momentum inside the organisation is dramatically higher. Get in touch and we'll sort out team pricing.
And you'll have built your own personal AI System to prove it. Save your spot and you'll get the start date, pre-cohort materials, and confirmation within 24 hours.
