Students learn to build precise technical prompts, set up Custom GPTs for recurring tasks, organize project information using Projects, automate routines with Tasks, and connect ChatGPT to tools including Adobe Photoshop, Google Drive, and Canva for image generation and editing. The course is Beginner level and ends with a working, personalized ChatGPT setup and a reusable prompt library. ## What you'll learn - Use ChatGPT fluently and confidently in professional workflows - Choose the right models strategically for different task types - Build precise technical prompts with controlled context, constraints, and clear output formatting - Set up personalization to maintain consistent language, tone, and deliverable standards - Create and use Custom GPTs for recurring tasks across the design and production process - Organize information and documents by project using Projects - Set up Tasks for repetitive routines, reminders, and follow-ups - Integrate ChatGPT with external tools when applicable to extend workflows - Use Images objectively, including generation and editing, as part of the process - Leave with a practical starter prompt library ready for professional use ## Methodology The methodology combines technical explanation, live demonstrations, and short applied exercises. Key workflows covered include: - Structuring, organizing, and reviewing information - Creating personalized AI assistants that “know everything” about a specific project or project phase - Organizing and standardizing project deliverables - Building a collaborative, shareable project environment with AI integration - Learning with a proactive ChatGPT that analyzes and suggests improvements to your workflow - Connecting apps to extend and enhance ChatGPT By the end of this workshop, participants will leave with a working ChatGPT setup that mirrors their professional practice: a personalized assistant, a structured project environment, reusable prompts, and clear workflows they can apply immediately to real projects. ### Program: - Introduction & First Steps: Where ChatGPT adds value in architectural practice, what it solves, and what it doesn’t - Interface & Models: Navigation, files, best practices, and differences between models, and when to use each one - Prompt Structure: An architectural prompt framework and clear output standards - Personalization & Assistants: Tailoring ChatGPT to your tone of voice and configuring an exclusive assistant for a specific project type - Projects: How to structure and customize a shareable project environment inside ChatGPT - Pulse & Tasks: Understanding and using ChatGPT proactively - Connected Apps: Workflows with Photoshop, Google Drive, and Canva - Images: Practical workflows for image creation, editing, and rendering ## Curriculum ### Session Content - Introduction + PAACADEMY Updates (04:02) - AI Architectural Workflow Foundations (24:39) - ChatGPT Operational Setup Framework (25:37) - Custom GPT Architectural Training (43:21) - Interactive Architectural AI Visualizations (49:38) - Optimizing AI High Fidelity Rendering (34:57) - Managing Projects With ChatGPT (40:19) - Integrations Proactive Workflows (38:44) ## FAQ ### I often find ChatGPT's responses too generic for professional work. Will this workshop teach me how to get specific, high-quality results?" Yes. A core focus of the workshop is "Personalization." You will learn how to configure Custom GPTs and set up specific parameters so the AI understands your studio's unique standards, tone of voice, and technical requirements, ensuring consistent deliverables rather than generic text. ### Is this workshop just for administrative tasks like writing emails, or does it actually help with the design process? It covers the entire architectural workflow. While it streamlines administration, the primary goal is to expand your "strategic and creative capacity." You will learn workflows for structuring design information, analyzing project briefs, and even acting as a proactive critic to suggest improvements to your design logic. ### How can ChatGPT help me manage the complexity of multiple architectural projects at once? The workshop teaches you to use the "Projects" feature to build a structured ecosystem. You will learn to organize information, documents, and context by specific project, effectively turning ChatGPT into a "collaborative environment." ### Does this workshop cover image generation, or is it strictly text-based? It covers both, but with a focus on professional utility. Unlike art-focused workshops, this course teaches you to use images "objectively"—generating and editing visuals as part of a technical workflow—and how to integrate ChatGPT with external tools like Adobe Photoshop and Canva for a seamless production process. ### What tangible assets will I leave with to use in my practice immediately? You will not just leave with theory; you will leave with a fully configured system. By the end of the course, you will have a "working ChatGPT setup" that includes a personalized AI assistant, a structured project environment, and a practical "starter prompt library" ready to be applied to your projects.
