Objectives

By the end of this one-day Grok training, participants will be able to:

• Understand the foundations of Grok-style AI and how it processes information in real-time conversations and dynamic prompts.
• Interpret how Grok generates answers — from large-scale training to pattern recognition — using analogies and non-technical visuals.
• Use Grok safely for business and personal needs while maintaining privacy, critical thinking, and fact-checking.
• Apply Grok to common workplace tasks like writing, summarizing, brainstorming, and scheduling, even with no coding knowledge.
• Recognize the limitations of Grok and when human oversight or expert input is necessary.
• Draft workplace AI policies for responsible use of Grok and similar tools in collaboration, content generation, and decision support.
• Simulate real-world use cases: customer service, HR emails, research summaries, classroom help, and creative tasks.
• Build confidence using Grok through guided practice, ethical scenarios, and AI feedback loops.

Description

Module 1: What is Grok and How Does it Work?

What you'll learn:

• Basic idea of how Grok “learns” from patterns in language (no math or code).
• Difference between Grok and traditional search engines.
• Why Grok's answers can be helpful — or wrong.

Hands-on:

• Watch a visual explainer of how Grok interprets a prompt.
• Break down Grok's response using a traffic-light system: helpful, maybe, inaccurate.
• Use Grok to reword a paragraph and explain its choices.

Module 2: What Can Grok Help You With Today?

What you'll learn:

• Safe, everyday uses of Grok in writing, summarizing, brainstorming, translating, and planning.
• Example prompts for HR, project planning, customer service, education, and home life.

Hands-on:

• Write your first 3 prompts with help from AI prompt templates.
• Use Grok to:
• Write a kind rejection letter.
• Simple event plan.
• Summarize a complex article/data.

Module 3: Privacy, Safety, and Critical Thinking

What you'll learn:

• What data Grok can “see” and what it can’t.
• Risks of putting sensitive or personal info into AI prompts.
• Simple rules for verifying AI-generated content.

Hands-on:

• Compare 3 Grok outputs (one biased, one wrong, one strong).
• Use a checklist to evaluate AI content.
• Draft a basic policy for “safe Grok use” at work.

Module 4: Human + AI Collaboration

What you'll learn:

• How Grok can speed up thinking but not replace judgment.
• When to use Grok vs. when to ask a human.
• Designing prompts that lead to clearer, more useful outputs.

Hands-on:

• Use the “IDEA” prompt format: Intent? Details? Examples? Ask.
• Practice refining bad prompts into great ones.
• Work in teams to create a workflow using Grok + human review (eg, hiring email, social media post, customer reply).

Module 5: Real-World Use Case Simulation

What you'll learn:

• Role-based examples: manager, teacher, customer rep, freelancer.
• How Grok adapts to different tones and needs.

Hands-on:

• Pick a role and complete 3 tasks using Grok (eg, summarize a meeting, draft FAQs, reword policy into plain language).
• Peer-review each other's outputs with a rubric for clarity, tone, and accuracy.

Module 6: Build Your Grok Prompt Library

What you'll learn:

• How to save and reuse effective prompts.
• Prompt chaining: getting better results with follow-up instructions.

Hands-on:

• Create your personal prompt toolkit (min. 5 useful prompts).
• Group exercise: "Fix My Prompt" game to improve prompt quality.

Module 7: Ethics, AI Bias, and Human Oversight

What you'll learn:

• What happens when AI reflects biased or outdated data.
• Why transparency and responsibility matter — especially in business or education.

Hands-on:

• Identify bias in real Grok responses.
• Edit AI content to include diverse, respectful, and inclusive language.
• Use Grok to help write an ethical use statement for your workplace.
