AI Everyday in Small Businesses

Using AI Every Day
Practical tools for Entrepreneurs & Small Businesses

What we will do on this 3 hour course:

• OPEN YOUR EYES: Open your eyes to what you can reaally do with AI and how powerful ChatGPT really is
• TEACH YOU HOW TO PROMPT: Teach you how to prompt quickly, effectively and sequentially to get something done. In 10 minutes you can:

  • Create a chatbot to: train staff with new skills, help onboard new staff/customers or help customers choose products.
  • Semi automate tasks
• THE FUTURE WORKPLACE: Change the way you think about AI and show you how to position yourself in the changing work place.

We focus on ChatGPT because it is the most popular AI tool, but what we teach can be used by any other AI tool.

“Learn how to use AI every day to save time, cut costs, and unlock new opportunities for your business. AI isn’t just a gimmick — it’s a powerful tool. But to take advantage of it, you need to shift your mindset: focus on getting AI to do all the time consuming tasks that waste your day, so you can focus on the value you add; use AI as leverage to scale your impact; and combine your human judgment with AI’s speed to build YOUR unique edge before the rest.”
