About this Event
One real problem. Everyone on their own laptop.
This is a free, fortnightly session for people who are actually doing AI work inside Northland businesses - owners, ops managers, admin leads, anyone who's got past "what is ChatGPT" and is now trying to make it earn its keep.
How it runs
12:00 - doors open, settle in with your lunch
12:15 sharp - someone sets the problem (five minutes, a real one from their week), then everyone has a go on their own machine
12:40 - show & tell: what worked & what didn't
1:00 - done, back to your desk
The presenter rotates. Bring your own questions, or bring something you've built and show off your smarts. Any tool is fine - Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini - and the free tiers all work.
What to bring: your lunch & a charged laptop.
One rule: no client or personal data in prompts during the session. Use made-up or public examples.
No selling. Hosted by IT Live, but nobody is pitching anything. It's people from local companies comparing notes.
