We may not use Jasper the way we did back then, but my buddy Claude has me all sorts of fired up for what's possible in 2026. Who's ready for the Claude Master Sprint? We kick off January 6th at 10AM CST.

Hey all - important announcement for the month of January here at GenAIU. In my opinion (and I know I'm not alone)... If you're going to pick ONE tool to master this year, it's Claude. Not five tools. Not hopping between ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and whatever dropped last week. It's fine to use the other tools too. I do, and use all the tools I just mentioned every week, too. But lately as I've been going deep into Claude Code... it's become apparent, this is the tool I recommend everyone master if they are an AI-native agency or business operated. That's why this month, to start 2026, we're going deep and building real skills, real workflows and real business applications with Claude. Then you can apply that mastery everywhere else and pair Claude with other platforms to get even more out of it. Claude is different. And Claude Code is a beast by itself. Yet... Most people haven't even touched Claude Code. Haven't built a single artifact. Haven't set up projects or custom instructions. They're scratching the surface of the most powerful tool available. That's fine, if you're OK with being average. But if you're already using Claude or see others crushing it with Claude and feel stuck, then you're going to want to join this sprint. Also, I'm not here to sell you on the benefits of using AI in your business with this. You're probably already using a number of tools and by now if you've seen how we operate at GenAIU, have some understanding of why we are focusing on just one platform each month. That's why we're choosing Claude. It's a no-brainer. Why? Because Claude isn't just another chatbot. It's the backbone layer of your AI engine. Sales. Marketing. Operations. When you actually master it, you're not "using AI." You're actually building with it. One tool. Deep mastery. That's where the leverage is. This spring will last 4 weeks. 4 weeks. 8 workshops. January 6-29. Me and you in a group setting. Building. Tuesdays @ 10am CST: Claude Deep Dives Projects. Artifacts. Custom instructions. Claude Code. The capabilities most people ignore that create the most leverage.

In this Gamma Mastery Workshop episode, the focus is on integrating tools like Gamma, Gemini, and Descript to create videos. The session begins with introductions and a discussion on participant progress in using Gamma. Key highlights include using Gamma's studio mode for creative outputs and syncing visuals with tools like Descript. >>> Watch Now in the Classroom MAIN TOOLS: Gamma: https://genaiu.com/gamma Descript: https://genaiu.com/descript Gemini: https://gemini.google.com

Video Production. Video Sales Letters. Sizzle Reels. Cinematic Visual Storytelling. What do all these have in common? YOU can create them with the tools mentioned in the post title. This week's workshop brought a surge of questions and interest around the video production side of things. Sure, images and 8 seconds clips are cool, and Gamma can create full storyboards and stunning visuals with Nano Banana Pro. But how do you actually make these into videos that will make a greater impact? The answer lies in YOU - the Creative Director - who has taste and must cast a vision for what is to be created. THEN apply the AI tools into your workflow to produce the end result - often working backwards once the final vision is conceptualized. But make no mistake - this is a skill, and one that requires different creative muscles to be flexed. Multiple muscles. Vision, taste, empathy, storytelling, direction, discernment, experimentation, curiosity... If you can think it, good change AI can support in bringing an idea to life. SO... Should be continue down this rabbit hole? Should we dive deeper with Gamma + Gemini. Nano Banana, Veo3, and other LLMs + AI video tools to tie them all together to create full videos that hit that mark for moving the needle in our creative projects and business ventures? Vote in the poll below, and drop a comment to let me know what you think. ALSO... if you got any value from this video, it's now on YouTube. And it's off to a great start from the organic search side of things. It would mean a lot if you dropped a like and comment on the video with how you found it useful. Much appreciated :-) POLL: AI VIDEO PRODUCTION WORKFLOWS

In this Gamma Mastery workshop, we're pairing Gamma with Gemini to create AI-powered event presentations from scratch. Watch as we generate images with Nano Banana, create animated videos with VO3, and build a complete New Year's Eve event presentation in Gamma—all in real-time. >>> Watch Now + Full Breakdown in Classroom
