Works for undergrad and grad students

AI is everywhere. The rules are inconsistent. The risks are real.

Most students are either using AI recklessly — and risking everything — or avoiding it entirely and falling behind. Neither is the answer.

Policies differ wildly by school

What's permitted at one university can get you expelled at another. Without knowing your institution's specific rules, every AI interaction is a gamble.

Detection tools are unreliable — and biased

Students are being accused — and in some cases expelled — based on AI detection tools that flag original work as AI-generated. It's already in federal court.

📖

No one teaches you how to use it right

Your professors know the tools exist. Your institution hasn't figured out the policy yet. You're left to figure it out alone — with your academic record on the line.

🎯

Most students use it wrong anyway

Getting AI to write your paper isn't just risky — it robs you of the skills your degree is supposed to certify. There's a smarter, more powerful way to use these tools.

Everything you need to use AI intelligently — and safely

Written by someone who has actually been through it

This is not a listicle. It is a framework — built by a 3-degree holder with 30+ years of enterprise technology experience.

Written for both audiences

Every chapter is relevant to undergrads. Graduate-specific sections cover MBA, law, and doctoral work explicitly — not as an afterthought.

Legally informed

Covers real, active federal and state court cases with full case names, docket numbers, and practical implications for students — not vague warnings.

Immediately actionable

Every chapter ends with copy-paste prompts you can use today. Not theory — tools. With example AI outputs so you know exactly what good looks like.

Integrity-first

Every technique is analyzed against academic integrity standards. Gray areas are labeled as gray. Prohibited practices are called prohibited. No gray-washing.

Professor research included

13 sources — official and unofficial — for researching any professor's intellectual priorities, teaching style, and assessment preferences before the semester starts.

Interactive policy tool

Paste your school's actual policy and get a personalized breakdown of what's permitted at your institution — powered by Claude AI, not generic advice.

Answers before you buy

Is this guide telling me how to cheat? +
No — and that is explicit throughout. Every technique in the guide is analyzed against academic integrity standards. Gray areas are labeled as gray. Practices that are almost universally prohibited are called prohibited, clearly and without hedging. The guide is about using AI the way a serious, professional student would — as a learning accelerator, not a substitute for your own thinking.
Will this work at my school specifically? +
That is exactly what the AI Policy Analyzer is for. Paste your institution's academic integrity policy and get a personalized breakdown of what's permitted, prohibited, and in the gray zone at your school — across 11 technique categories from the guide. Policies vary significantly, and this tool gives you school-specific analysis rather than generic advice.
I'm a graduate student — is this relevant to me? +
Yes — there is an entire chapter dedicated to graduate-level strategies covering MBA case prep and discussion, law school issue spotting and IRAC practice, dissertation literature review gap analysis, and committee defense preparation. The legal landscape chapter is also particularly relevant given that several of the active court cases involve graduate students.
What AI tools does this guide cover? +
The techniques and prompts are written to work with any major AI tool — Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, and others. The guide also covers supplementary tools for transcription (Tactiq, Otter.ai, Whisper), research (Zotero, Connected Papers, Elicit), and writing (Grammarly, Hemingway Editor), with specific setup instructions where relevant.
What format does the guide come in? +
You get both a PDF (polished, formatted, ready to read) and a Word document (.docx) that you can edit, annotate, highlight, and customize. Both are delivered instantly via download after purchase.
Is the $17 a one-time payment? +
Yes. One payment, instant access, no subscription, no renewal. The AI Policy Analyzer tool access is included with no additional cost. The launch price is $17 through May 31st — it goes to $27 on June 1st. Either way, you pay once and own it.

Start your semester with the right framework

AI is not going away. The question is whether you are using it strategically — or just hoping for the best.
