Every capability below is practiced and taught in the university classroom. drtseng and the syllabus share the same craft.
Social media marketing, AI content monetization, and AI influencer management. The same methods scale from a single founder to an enterprise team. Practiced commercially; taught to entrepreneurs and operators applying these strategies inside their own organizations.
The craft skill behind every frame: directing models with the precision that makes output read as intent, not accident. Refined across hundreds of pieces of personal practice; taught as a curriculum module on prompt engineering for video.
Production pipelines that integrate AI tools into existing creative processes without losing creative control. Built for creation; taught to entrepreneurs and operators learning to scale these methods inside their own organizations.
The discerning eye that separates intent from output. The difference between AI-as-"slop" and AI-as-craft. Demonstrated in the work; transferred in the classroom through critique, exemplar, and assignment.
