AI training in Boston for working professionals

Boston is the easy case for this class, because it is held here. If you work downtown, in the Seaport, along Longwood, or anywhere the T reaches, the class is a normal commute, not a trip. What is worth spelling out is what the two days are for, and why Boston’s mix of employers is a good match.

What AI work looks like in Boston

Boston runs on a handful of document-heavy industries: hospitals and health systems, biotech, universities, law and professional services, and banking, asset management and insurance. Different fields, same shape of work. People spend their days in an inbox, a spreadsheet and a folder of PDFs, and a large share of that time goes to moving information from one place to another.

In a hospital or research setting the skills apply to tasks such as a weekly operations report assembled by hand from emails and exports. In a law firm or a finance team reviewing a stack of contracts for the same five clauses. In a biotech, cleaning up the spreadsheet that three people have edited. In class everyone practices on the same provided case files, then applies the skills to their own recurring tasks afterward. Day 1 covers email triage, document summaries and spreadsheet cleanup; Day 2 covers workflow design, one build lab, first-pass document review on sample agreements, and privacy and policy basics. Previews: automating Gmail with Claude and using AI with Excel. What do you build in a two-day AI class? lists everything covered.

You do not need to write code. Claude Code takes a plain-English description and does the technical part; Claude Code for non-programmers explains how that works, and Do I need to code to use AI? answers the most common worry.

Planning your two days from Boston

If you already commute into the city, treat the two days like office days, but allow extra time on the first morning: you are finding a new building, and a 9am start with a laptop to set up leaves little slack. Venue, parking and transit details come in the logistics email the day before.
