How the sessions work

One workflow, on your real work

Every session builds one AI workflow around something your team already does, whether that's a folder of footage, a research pile, or a messy inbox, and turns it into a decision-ready output you can trust.

The shape stays the same: your real input, an AI-assisted draft, and a human review step that keeps the judgment and decides what ships. AI does the heavy lifting; your team keeps control.

Plan a session on your work
  1. Input

    A folder of footage

    Raw clips and photos, plus the story brief in your own words.

  2. With AI

    Assemble a rough cut

    AI logs the clips and builds a captioned first assembly to your brief.

  3. Human review

    Keep the story

    You set the pacing, and missing shots get flagged, not faked.

The result A reviewable first cut, with the story and the final call still yours.

The working session

One project.
A useful next step.

Bring a brief, a folder of footage, or a recurring task. We'll work through one agreed workflow on your team's approved tools.

Your facilitator

Laila Jhané

Creative researcher. AI educator. New media artist.

My work moves between installations, software, and classrooms. I teach from that practice, with curiosity about what the tools can do and candor about their limits.

I've led workshops for filmmakers, creative communities, and universities. Creative control, transparency, and consent are part of the conversation.

Proof, not slides

Things I've actually built

I teach from the builder's seat because I ship. A few pieces from my own practice.

Production software

My practice runs on software I built

A full CRM, discovery-call booking, newsletter platform, and funnel-analytics dashboard, hand-built on Supabase and vanilla JavaScript, running today.

Before we begin

A few practical questions.

What if we need more customization?

New curriculum, multiple workflows, larger groups, and custom prototype development need a separate scope and proposal. We agree on the deliverables and fee before work begins.

Can we use the tools our organization already approves?

We discuss your approved tools and material-handling requirements before confirming the session. The project is scoped around those boundaries.

What if our team has different levels of experience?

We discuss the group's starting point in advance and shape the exercises around the roles and experience in the room. No coding background is required, and a team program gives people more time to practice between sessions.

Let's start with your work
