Kairo by Anansi · Executive AI Education
Stop reading about AI.
Start using it.
A 2-day hands-on workshop for working professionals. Open your laptop, learn from someone who actually builds with AI, leave with working tools in your real job by Monday morning.
What you learn
Two days. Real tools, real work.
Day 1
Foundations + your first working AI
- 01
What AI actually is, in plain language
- 02
Hands-on with Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini against your real work
- 03
Prompt engineering that produces useful outputs (5 patterns)
- 04
Working with documents — uploading, summarizing, extracting
- 05
First working automation built before you leave for dinner
Day 2
Custom tools + bringing it back to your team
- 01
Custom GPTs and Claude Projects for your specific job
- 02
Connecting AI to your other tools — sheets, email, calendar
- 03
When AI fails — and what to do about it (the block most workshops skip)
- 04
Bringing what you learned back to your team
Who it's for
Working professionals who've heard about AI everywhere — and are quietly worried they don't actually know how to use it.
You don't need a technical background. You don't need to “be good at computers.” You just need a laptop and a job where AI could probably help, if you only knew where to start.
Director, financial firm
“My team uses ChatGPT but I don’t really. I want to lead, not lag.”
Senior manager, operations
“AI is on every quarterly slide deck. I need to know what’s real.”
20-year IC
“I’ve watched a junior employee do my report in 5 minutes. I’m catching up — fast.”
What makes it different
Not another deck. Not another “framework.”
Built by an operator.
Operator-taught
David doesn't just teach AI. He builds production AI safety systems at American Express, classifying prompts for 75,000 colleagues. Most AI educators have read about this work. David does it.
Hands-on, not lecture
Day 1 hour 1: laptops open. Every concept is followed by 15-20 minutes of “now try it in your context.” You leave with working AI in your actual job, not notes about working AI in someone else's case study.
Backed by a real company
Kairo is part of Anansi, an AI-first technology company. The same instructor who teaches the workshop is shipping AI to production every day. The curriculum is current because the practice is current.
Academic credibility
CS adjunct at Nova Southeastern University, PhD dissertation committee member. Real teaching, real students, real research oversight.

About David
Dr. David Noel
Dr. David Noel is the founder of Anansi Technology LLC, an AI-first technology company building products at the intersection of AI and financial infrastructure. He is a Senior Cybersecurity Engineer at American Express, where he leads enterprise AI safety initiatives including production LLM-as-judge classifiers, prompt injection detection systems, and AI vulnerability assessment frameworks. He is an adjunct professor of computer science at Nova Southeastern University and serves on PhD dissertation committees for AI-related research.
Before Anansi, David was a software engineer at Schlumberger and American Express. He is a builder first and a teacher second — Kairo exists because the people he teaches in his university classes kept asking how to apply AI to their actual jobs, and most existing programs weren't answering that question.
