Hey there,

I'm Dave, and I've been teaching AI since ChatGPT came out.

Let me know if this sounds familiar:

You are being bombarded about AI everywhere. You see it any time you go on social media with hype titles like "Claude just killed video editors", you hear it from your friends and of course you hear it at work.

If you run your own business, you probably feel like you could be doing so much more with AI, especially if your team also knew how to use it, and you had the right tools and systems in place.

Or, if you are an employee, you might be thinking how long until you get fired because AI replaces you, or just simply how could you be using this technology to work faster and better.

And while these are very important questions, what most people miss is how to use this technology safely at a company.

Is it safe to give it client data?
Can we get into trouble for using it?
How can we prevent it from messing up our systems or accidentally deleting important files?

I built the AI Skill School to answer all of these for you, and to give you all the tools, knowledge and systems I use every day to get things done.

By the end of it, you'll spend less time on cleaning up the mess an AI makes, and more time on shipping work you're proud of.

I hope you make things better with what you find here, can't wait to see you inside!

Best,
Dave

It's not the wand, it's the magician.

Tools like Claude are great, but they are worthless if you can't use them well and safely.

You forgot to onboard Claude

This is the step most people skip, and they wonder why using Claude takes up so much of their time. Once onboarded well, Claude knows your business, your process and where to find things, so you can stop micromanaging.

You don't need 100+ AI Agents

Instead, you need a simple system that is easy to setup, maintain, and grows with you as you work with it.

Safety is #1 priority

AI is a powerful tool, but you must know the risks associated with it. Prompt injection attacks, data privacy and cognitive decline are just a few to mention.

Dave Talas speaking on stage

You direct. Claude executes.

The new way of working with AI. One simple system that onboards Claude to your business. It knows your projects, follows your processes, works in your apps and learns with you as you go. And it gets better with every new Claude model!

Your AI folder: Skills teach Claude the repetitive processes, Connections let it act in your apps (Basecamp, Kit, Circle, Calendar, Drive), and Project folders are where files are created and stored.

Built on the same simple framework:
Context, Tools, Skills.

Context

What Claude knows

You, your business, your projects and clients. Written once, used in every chat.

Tools

Where Claude works

Your email, calendar, Drive, Slack and other apps, with the permissions you choose.

Skills

How the work gets done

Your processes, written down once, so Claude does them the same way every time.

Lessons you can finish in 3 minutes

152 short, practical lessons across 6 courses, a total of around 6 hours. Some are videos, some are text lessons. Each one shows when it was made, last updated and last verified, so you know it’s still current.

Two AI Skill School lessons side by side: a short video lesson where Dave demos a content repurposing Skill in Claude, and a text lesson on flowcharts and swimlanes with diagrams and rules.

Your AI operating system, on your computer

A folder that tells Claude who you are, what you’re working on and how you like things done. Start any chat from it, and Claude already knows you.

Before: a long message re-explaining the client, the meetings and how Dave writes proposals. After: one line, with the AI operating system folder selected, and Claude finds the client context, the meeting transcript and the proposal Skill itself.

Live sessions every week

One week I show you how I use Claude for real work. The next week I help you with your own Skills and systems. (Founders and VIP Founders)

A weekly live session: Dave walks members through a Claude Skill

Claude, onboarded to your business

I show how I use Claude to publish finished lessons from Basecamp to Circle, and save around 2 hours of mundane manual work.

Three paths to the same place

Me, a controller with a growing team, and an agency owner. Different starting points, same result: Claude doing real work, safely.

My founding story:

  1. Quit medical school to teach InstagramTaught it from 2019 to 2023.
  2. Then ChatGPT came around2023: one of the first prompt engineering courses, accredited at two universities.
  3. Make AI agents & automationsWorked with dozens of clients, but realized it is too technical to teach to founders and wasn’t using it myself that much anyways. Wrong way.
  4. Found Claude Skills & CoworkBuilt a system where I can work fast and safely.
  5. Then, I built AI Skill SchoolTo teach the system to other founders and their teams.
  6. Now

    Claude now helps with my course videos, video edits, contracts, website, slides and much more. 30–32 hours a week, no weekends.

ChrisController · accounting team
  1. First: Claude sub-agentsRunning parts of his daily work. “Headed down the wrong path.”
  2. May: joined AI Skill SchoolSwitched from agents to Skills.
  3. July: Built 11 Skills for his workCard reconciliation, 401k processing, payroll, reports.
  4. August: “How do I share these with my team?”One deep dive call later: a company Claude plugin.
  5. ✓Now

    7 Skills shared with his team. Hours of hated work now take 5–10 minutes. Next: rolling Claude out to more people.

Is this for you?

This is for you if:

  • ✓You’re a founder, solopreneur or employee who wants AI doing real work for you
  • ✓You want one simple system that works well
  • ✓You want to do it right and safely, and stay calm about AI
  • ✓Once it works for you, you’ll want to bring it to your team or your manager
  • ✓You’re willing to put in a few focused hours and show up

This won’t work for you if:

  • ✕You want hacks, shortcuts and a new AI tool every week
  • ✕You collect 2,000-prompt libraries and never use them
  • ✕You want to move fast and break things, with client data
  • ✕You think AI will magically solve everything (AI is an amplifier: a mess becomes a bigger mess)
  • ✕You don’t do your work on a computer

It doesn’t matter if you’ve never used AI, which AI you use, how technical you are, or what industry you’re in.

Frequently asked questions

“I don’t use Claude.”

You should! :) But if it's not for you, my system and lessons work with ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor or any AI tool that works with files. I demonstrate everything in Claude and recommend it to everyone because it has the best Skills system right now.

Which Claude plan do I need?

Claude Pro (about $20 a month) is enough. You pay it to Anthropic directly. If you use other tools, you need a plan that allows working with files from a folder like ChatGPT Work.

Does it work on Windows?

Yes. Everything works on Mac and Windows.

“I’m not technical.”

You don’t need to be. If you can send emails, edit spreadsheets and learn new software, you have everything you need. And if you get stuck, we help.

When are the live sessions?

Weekly, at alternating times: mostly EU afternoons and US mornings, sometimes EU mornings for Asia. The best demos become short videos in the use case library.

“AI changes too fast. It’ll be outdated.”

I update the lessons when new features come out, and every lesson shows when I last checked it. This is why it's a membership and not a one-time payment. Your system gets better with every new Claude model. Think of it as a car chassis, and Claude is the engine that gets upgraded every few months, and the user guide with it.

“I don’t want to learn AI, I just want to use it.”

You don’t have to become an AI expert. But just like you learned a bit about cars to drive one, you’ll learn a bit about AI to use it well and safely. You won’t become a mechanic.

Can I enroll my team?

Yes. Pick Courses only, set how many people you’re buying for, and the price per person drops. For bigger teams (150+ people), email me at dave@paladin.cc.
