Writing & Editing with AI

Supercharge your writing with the power of AI without sacrificing government standards. 

This 2 day workshop will demonstrate how federal employees can use AI to draft, rewrite, and polish documents in half the time while maintaining clarity, accuracy, and a consistent GC voice. 

Through hands-on practice, you’ll learn to produce sharper emails, briefing notes, memos, and reports; streamline revisions; and build templates that make every writing task faster and easier. 

Participants will leave with a complete, repeatable AI-supported workflow that boosts productivity and improves the quality of your written work across all government contexts.
