Your team has AI access.
Give them a way
to use it well.

Another meeting recap. Another proposal written from scratch. Another AI tool your team has access to and barely uses.

Gentiv-AI training starts with those everyday tasks. Your people practice with relevant examples, learn where human review belongs, and build workflows they can use in their roles.

The Gentiv-AI approach

Start with the work.
Build around people.

Every training connects a business task, a practical skill, and a human checkpoint. Your team learns how to question an answer, protect information, and decide what happens next.

01

Find the friction.

Identify repetitive tasks, slow handoffs, and decisions that keep coming back to the same person. Choose a useful starting point.

FOCUS: A real workflow and a baseline
02

Learn it. Build it.

Practice with relevant examples. Create prompts, instructions, or a small workflow, then check its output against your standards.

FOCUS: Hands-on practice and human review
03

Make it repeatable.

Document the steps, assign ownership, and define when to escalate. Choose measures such as time, quality, and repeat use.

FOCUS: A playbook your team can use
Built around your team

Choose how
you learn.

Leadership briefings

Align decision-makers on opportunities, risk, priorities, and a practical adoption direction.

Team workshops

Hands-on sessions built around your roles, approved tools, and day-to-day business tasks.

Custom programs

Connect multiple modules into a learning path with practice, team standards, and defined outcomes.

Before you begin

Good questions.
Clear answers.

Choose a starting point that fits your team’s experience, tools, and goals.

Do we need a technical background?

Foundations, leadership, Copilot, and Claude workflow sessions are designed for business users. Claude Code and agent harness sessions introduce more advanced concepts in plain language. We confirm readiness and any technical support needed before planning those sessions.

Can you tailor training to our organization?

Yes. We discuss your roles, workflows, approved tools, and goals, then recommend modules and examples relevant to your team. Any use of internal information should follow your organization’s data and security policies.

Do you offer virtual and on-site training?

Gentiv-AI supports virtual, on-site, and hybrid delivery. We are based in the Philadelphia area and serve organizations nationally. Location, scheduling, and delivery requirements are confirmed during planning.

What software will participants need?

Requirements vary by module. Your team may need approved Claude, Microsoft Copilot, or development-tool access. We confirm licenses, permissions, device requirements, and setup before training. Software subscriptions are separate unless specifically included in your proposal.

How do you address responsible AI use?

Training covers approved data, output verification, human review, and escalation. Agent sessions also address tool permissions, testing, monitoring, and approval checkpoints. Your organization remains responsible for its policies and final decisions.

How much does team training cost?

Investment depends on team size, delivery format, topic depth, and customization. Use the training inquiry form to share your goals and request a scoped recommendation.
