AI Literacy & Proficiency Training
Train your people to use AI.
Don’t train AI to be artificial people.
At Avenue9, we don’t preach AI hype. We teach humans valuable skills. Our Human-First AI Training Programs are built for leaders, marketers, and their teams who want to integrate AI into their workflows with human-led strategy, responsibility, and authenticity.
Turn down the hype and crank up the ROI
Are you stuck on getting AI adoption in your business?
New AI tools are released daily, and AI experimentation is surging, but most people still struggle to use them effectively. They don’t understand how AI works; they don’t know how to prompt, build artifacts, or connect integrations, and they aren’t going beyond basic use cases.
The Believability Gap
Most people don’t know what is actually possible with AI today. They either believe the hype about super-intelligent autonomous agents or think AI is just about having ChatGPT write your emails.
The Implementation Gap
Very few businesses have figured out how to integrate AI into their daily work. The ones that have are saving massive amounts of time, money, and resources, and they are building a huge competitive advantage.
The Capability Gap
Your team lacks the skills, systems, and self-confidence to prompt effectively, automate repetitive tasks, and defend against privacy issues, hallucinations, and ethical red flags when using AI.
Our AI training programs teach your team to clarify their thinking, streamline their workflow, and scale their results with practical AI solutions.

The framework
We call it the A9^Factor.
It’s a 9-part marketing system that helps businesses like yours go to market with the clarity, confidence, and capability of a big brand without burning bridges or blowing your budget.
Don’t settle for random acts of marketing from AI or your team. We’ll help you scale what works, in your voice, across the channels that matter most. These nine factors are the guardrails for how and where to leverage AI.
Three pillars
Human-First Strategy
Putting employees, customers, and leaders first when deciding where to apply AI.
AI Marketing Systems
Custom GPTs, automations, and a living knowledge base that eliminate busywork.
Scalable Storytelling
Building AI guidelines, pitches, proof, and a powerful storybank to create on-brand assets.

Training questions
Frequently asked questions about AI training
What leaders ask before booking a workshop.
Do participants need a technical background?
No. Every workshop is built for business professionals, without jargon or acronyms. The AI Literacy session starts with how AI actually works and gets people prompting in the first hour.
Live or virtual?
Both. Workshops run onsite or over Zoom, and the Team Training Bundle includes unlimited participants for live sessions plus all-access tools and templates afterward.
How is this different from a webinar, course, or keynote?
It’s hands-on. Participants leave with prompts they wrote, workflows they built, and a shared language for AI decisions, which is what changes behavior on Monday morning.
Can you deliver it under our brand for our members?
Yes. Associations, chambers, franchises, and agencies license the programs through the partner program, white-labeled or co-branded.
