Book James for Speaking, Workshops, and Consulting
I help teams and organizations understand AI in plain English. I’ve trained thousands of non-technical professionals through my daily newsletter, YouTube channel, courses, and hands-on workshops. Available for virtual and in-person events.
What I Do
Keynote Talks
30 to 60 minutes, virtual or in-person. I break down what AI actually means for your team, your industry, and your bottom line. No jargon, no hype, just what’s real and what you can use right now.
Team Workshops
Half-day or full-day, hands-on. Your team walks out knowing how to use AI tools in their actual jobs. I build the workshop around your workflows, not a generic slide deck.
1:1 Coaching
For founders, executives, and solo operators who want a direct line to someone who lives in this space every day. We work through your specific AI questions and build a plan that fits your business.
Ongoing Advisory
For organizations that need a trusted voice on AI strategy over weeks or months. I help you figure out where AI fits, what tools to use, and how to get your team up to speed without wasting money on things that don’t work.
Topics I Speak On
AI for Non-Technical Teams
What AI actually is, what it can do today, and how your team can start using it this week. Built for people who don’t have a technical background and don’t want one.
Specializing in Claude: Anthropic’s AI for Real Work
I specialize in Anthropic’s Claude — the AI most professionals reach for when quality matters. This session shows teams how to use Claude effectively: when to pick it over ChatGPT, how to write prompts that actually produce useful output, how to set up Projects and custom skills, and how to build Claude-powered workflows that save real time.
Building Your First AI Workflow
A practical walkthrough of setting up AI tools that save real time. I show people how to go from “I use ChatGPT sometimes” to having AI built into their daily work.
How to Evaluate AI Tools Without a Technical Background
There are hundreds of AI tools out there. Most of them aren’t worth your time. I teach teams how to figure out which ones actually matter for their business.
The Daily AI Toolkit for Small Business
A focused session for small business owners and solopreneurs covering the 3 to 5 AI tools that will have the biggest impact on your operations, marketing, and customer experience.

About James
I’m the founder of Beginners in AI, the #1 resource for non-technical people learning AI. I send a human-edited, curated daily newsletter (Monday through Sunday) that explains what’s happening in AI in plain English. No jargon, no PhD required.
I studied AI programming at Columbia Engineering. My work is translating complex technology into simple language people can actually use.
I call myself an “AI translator” because that’s what I do. I sit between the engineers building this stuff and the professionals trying to figure out how to use it.
