One class, two client academies.
This is one Alpine Academy class, shown the way two different companies' staff see it.Same class, different tools, rules, examples and brand.Nothing below is hand-edited per client: each academy is one config file.

AI Foundations
Solve a real problem with AI
AI gets easier to use once you know how it works and where it fails.No slides, no lectures: you drive, the instructor rides shotgun.Learn the difference between AI reasoning and AI research, and how to push back when an answer is wrong.You solve a real problem before you leave.
- 01Explain how AI works, and where common beliefs about it are wrong
- 02Name the three layers of AI: browser-based, automations and agentic
- 03Tell AI reasoning from AI research, and pick the right one for the task
- 04Write a basic structured prompt, then improve it with push-back
- 05Ask "Could AI help with this?" before you start a task
- AI assistantsMicrosoft Copilot
- AutomationPower Automate
The models built into Microsoft 365 Copilot, in the Ashgrove tenant
Use Microsoft Copilot signed in with your Ashgrove account, and Power Automate in the Ashgrove environment.Other AI tools are not approved for client or firm data.
Client data never leaves approved tools
Non-public personal information is protected under GLBA and Reg S-P.Use Copilot signed in with your Ashgrove account and nothing else.Never paste names, account numbers or balances into a public AI tool.
Check every number against the source
AI can produce a figure that looks right and is wrong.Any number that reaches a client, a report or a decision is checked against the system of record first.
Ask Copilot to explain a new FINRA notice in plain English, then check its reading against the notice itself.
