AI for Creatives  ·  UC Davis

Configure a thinking partner.
Then make what only you could have made.

Before any generating begins, students configure a persistent thinking partner across six levers, role, purpose, constraints, behavior, focus, confidence. The tool enters mid-process. What opens and closes every cycle is your own judgment.

Why this course →

I started this course thinking AI would make things faster. It made things harder, in the right way. I couldn't hide behind a tool. The tool kept asking me what I actually meant.
