Start from zero
Learn what tools to use, how to think about ChatGPT and Claude, what prompting actually means, and how to avoid getting buried in jargon.
Live cohort - July 21 + 22
Two evenings to make AI practical.
A live virtual cohort for remodelers, designers, builders, contractors, showrooms, suppliers, distributors, and trades who know AI matters but need the basics, language, and workflows from someone inside the industry.

What this solves
Built for busy operators, not AI people.
Most AI training assumes you already speak the language. Datum assumes you are running jobs, answering clients, chasing vendors, managing schedules, and trying to figure out where AI fits without wasting weeks.
Use real building work
Examples stay tied to scopes, estimates, emails, selections, meeting notes, project summaries, vendor questions, and internal operating work.
Keep humans in review
You learn where AI can help now, where it needs source context, and where a qualified person still needs to approve the output.
Two live sessions
Learn the operating pattern, not a trick.
Session 1: setup, language, prompts, and context.
We cover the basic AI tool stack, how to ask for useful output, how to give AI your role and constraints, and how to make answers less generic by grounding them in business context.
Session 2: workflows, automation, agents, and review.
We move into repeatable workflows: files, spreadsheets, reports, browser work, simple automations, multiple AI sessions, and the review points that keep AI useful without pretending it is magic.
- What to download and when to use desktop, browser, files, or business-system exports.
- How to turn vague instructions into prompts your team can reuse.
- How to spot the work AI should handle now versus the work to leave alone.
- How to create useful drafts, summaries, reports, and checklists with source context.
- How to leave with a 30-day plan instead of a folder full of random tools.
What you leave with
A practical starting point by Wednesday.
The cohort is designed to turn AI from a vague pressure into a concrete set of habits, examples, and first workflows you can keep using after the sessions end.
Tool confidence
Know which AI tools belong in your first stack and what each one is useful for in everyday operating work.
Prompting pattern
Learn to give role, audience, constraints, examples, source material, output format, and review expectations.
Workflow targets
Identify the admin drag, reporting, research, communication, and internal knowledge work worth testing first.
Source grounding
Understand when AI needs your documents, templates, examples, exports, notes, or project context before it can be trusted.
Review habits
Learn where human approval belongs before AI touches clients, budgets, schedules, vendors, legal terms, or decisions.
30-day next step
Leave with a small set of next actions instead of trying to automate everything at once.
How it works
Clear input, live practice, useful output.
The cohort stays operational. Every recommendation needs a workflow, a source of truth, an output, and a human review step.

Why Datum
AI taught from inside the industry.
Led by a current operator, not a generic AI coach.
Datum is led from real design-build operating work at KBF Design Gallery in Central Florida. The examples come from the same kind of work your team actually does: sales follow-up, scopes, project notes, selections, reporting, procurement, client communication, and internal knowledge.
The point is not to make you sound technical. The point is to help you recognize useful AI work, avoid risky AI work, and build enough fluency to make better decisions.
Questions
What to know before you reserve.
Do I need to be technical?
No. The cohort is built for people starting from zero or very little AI experience. Plain language is the point.
Is this only for remodelers?
No. It is for the building-industry stack: remodelers, builders, contractors, designers, showrooms, suppliers, distributors, fabricators, and trades.
Will this build custom software for me?
No. The cohort teaches the foundations and operating patterns. If you want a scoped implementation, start with Discovery or a custom inquiry after you understand the right target.
What happens after I pay?
Stripe confirms payment and routes you to the Datum welcome page with cohort preparation steps and the business questionnaire.
Give AI two focused evenings.
Leave with the language, setup, workflows, and judgment to start using AI in the building business you already run.
