Welcome We're so glad you're here! You've earned your spot in the very first cohort of the AI Performance Lab Bootcamp — a select group of Virtual Professionals ready to level up with AI. This is your space to learn, practice, ask questions, and build something you'll be proud to show. Get ready for an intense, fun, and transformative week. 🚀
About this program Bootcamp Level 1: AI Literacy & Prompt Engineering is a 5-day hands-on lab (Jul 6–10, 2026) designed to take you from AI-curious to AI-confident. You'll learn how Gemini, ChatGPT, NotebookLM, and Google AI Studio really work, master structured prompting, and turn everyday VA tasks — emails, research, SOPs, reports — into AI-powered workflows. By Friday, you'll have built a real AI solution you can show as proof of skill.

Example:
Maria attended Day 1, stayed present for the full session, and kept her camera on for most of the session. She also participated in the chat, asked the instructor a question, joined the breakout activity, and followed the exercise instructions as part of her group. For that day, Maria earned the full 20 Lab Points.
Carlos and the team have done an excellent job. I think it’s fantastic that VL offers these kinds of activities that support professional growth; I really appreciate it. The best thing about the Bootcamp is that it’s not just a course; it’s the interactive activities where you learn and immediately put your knowledge to the test, which greatly helps with information retention. I hope to continue participating in more Bootcamps in the future.
What stood out most to me about this course was the opportunity to learn new and practical ways to use AI. Carlos and his team constantly encouraged us to keep moving forward, believe in our abilities, and feel empowered to continue learning. Beyond the technical knowledge, the course helped me understand the positive impact that AI skills can have on building and growing a successful remote career. It was a motivating and valuable learning experience.
This bootcamp was simply extraordinary! 🙂 Thank you Carlos for your hard work and dedication to this bootcamp. The dashboard automation out a Json file that was converted from a xlm, to the usage of gems and notebooksLM, it was just a taste of the huge potential of AI as a tool that can significantly increase productivity and efficacy when used correctly.
This course doesn’t just cover the basics; it builds on them. I came in already using Google’s AI ecosystem, and still walked out with new capabilities I hadn’t explored. Short, practical, and worth the time if you want to stop guessing and start building.
This bootcamp exceeded my expectations. I originally joined to improve my AI prompting skills, but the program went far beyond basic prompts and showed how AI can be applied to real professional workflows and business operations. The instructor explained complex concepts in a very practical and understandable way, and the exercises encouraged critical thinking, structure, and real-world application. Highly recommended for VAs and professionals who want to move beyond “basic ChatGPT use” and learn how to build real AI-assisted systems and workflows.

I want to thank Virtual Latinos for their continued support in our professional development. Special thanks to Carlos for teaching such complex concepts in such a clear and engaging way. The bootcamp was an incredible hands-on experience which allowed me to learn how to build AI workflows at a professional level and explore new tools. What I enjoyed most, without a doubt, was creating my own Gems! It’s an excellent course both for enhancing our skills at work and for personal growth.
