What You Will Learn

AI is rapidly transforming how creative businesses operate. Beyond simple prompts and content generation, a new generation of agentic AI tools is emerging—systems that can assist with research, planning, operations and decision-making. For creative entrepreneurs, these tools offer ways to streamline workflows, uncover opportunities and run more efficient businesses.

This practical course introduces creative founders, freelancers and small studio owners to agentic AI tools and AI-powered workflows for running a creative startup. Through guided demonstrations and hands-on exploration, you will learn how AI can support day-to-day business operations.

You will explore a range of AI tools that function as digital assistants for creative ventures. The course demonstrates how AI can be applied to areas such as market research, audience understanding and competitor awareness, helping entrepreneurs better navigate their industry landscape.

A key focus is helping you evaluate what aspects of their business can be automated and what should remain human-led. By mapping their workflows, you will identify repetitive or time-consuming tasks that can be supported by AI, allowing you to focus more on strategy, creativity and client relationships.

You will also experiment with AI-assisted workflows to improve efficiency in research, ideation, project preparation and operations.

The course concludes with a critique and sharing session, where you will present your proposed AI-assisted workflows and receive feedback on how to refine and apply them.
