ChatGPT For
Business Leaders
Use Case: No - Code AI Workshops
The Problem
Cornell Tech wanted to run an AI workshop to teach their entrepreneurs and emerging business leaders how to leverage and understand advanced AI tools such as ChatGPT so they could apply it to real business problems. Participants had used AI tools for occasional tasks, but wanted to learn how to integrate AI into their daily decision-making, content creation, product development, and internal communication workflows. Without a clear framework for prompting, reviewing outputs, and connecting ChatGPT to the tools they already used, they were missing opportunities to accelerate productivity, improve strategic planning, and streamline execution.
​
A hands-on workshop was needed to show students not just what ChatGPT can do, but how to operationalize it within a company setting so they could make better decisions, work faster, and scale their ideas more effectively.
The Solution
Vyrtices designed and delivered a hands-on AI workshop that gave Cornell Tech students a practical, end-to-end framework for using ChatGPT as a daily business tool rather than an occasional assistant. Instead of focusing on theory, the workshop centered on real workflows that founders, operators, and product teams use every day—strategic planning, writing, analysis, customer communication, and rapid decision support. Each session walked participants through how large language models interpret text, how to structure prompts that produce reliable results, and how to validate outputs so AI becomes a trusted part of their work instead of a risk.
​
We demonstrated clear examples of where ChatGPT creates leverage in a business setting and taught participants how to convert those use cases into repeatable systems. Students learned how to design prompts that align with specific business roles, refine the model’s output through structured iteration, and embed ChatGPT directly into the tools they already rely on, such as Notion, Google Workspace, Slack, and email. The workshop concluded with advanced demonstrations of custom GPTs, document-aware assistants, and integration patterns that help teams scale their workflows as their companies grow.
​
By the end of the workshop, participants not only understood how ChatGPT works—they left with a concrete, operational playbook for using AI to work faster, communicate more clearly, and make better business decisions across their future companies.
