About this Event

Welcome to The AI Cyclops Workshop

The AI Cyclops Workshop is a practical, in-person experience designed to help ordinary people understand, use, and feel confident with artificial intelligence.

This is not a technical lecture or a sales pitch. It’s a hands-on, guided workshop where you’ll learn how AI actually works in real-world situations — from everyday tasks to business and professional use.

Whether you’re completely new to AI or already experimenting with tools like ChatGPT, this workshop meets you where you are and helps you move forward with clarity and confidence.


What to expect

During the day, you’ll:

  • Learn what AI really is (and what it isn’t) — in plain English
  • Make a website in 30mins
  • Use AI tools live to solve real tasks and challenges
  • Discover practical ways AI can save time and reduce mental load
  • Explore how AI fits into work, business, creativity, and daily life
  • Ask questions, experiment freely, and learn at your own pace
  • Make your own AI Avatar who will say whatever you want

Everything is explained step-by-step, with support throughout. No jargon. No pressure. No overwhelm.


Who this workshop is for

This workshop is ideal if you:

  • Feel curious about AI but unsure where to start
  • Want to use AI confidently without feeling “techy”
  • Run a business, work in a professional role, or manage multiple responsibilities
  • Want practical skills you can use immediately after the session

You don’t need any prior AI knowledge — just a willingness to learn and explore.


What you’ll leave with

By the end of the workshop, you’ll leave with:

  • A clear understanding of how AI can support your work and life
  • Practical experience using AI tools hands-on
  • Greater confidence and clarity around AI
  • Ideas and workflows you can apply straight away

Above all, you’ll leave feeling calm, capable, and supported as AI becomes part of everyday life.
