Practical AI Workshops

AI workshops that turn overwhelm into practical wins.

Three levels for three different starting points. Whether you're brand new to AI or ready to wire it into your operations, there's a session that meets you where you are — and moves you forward.

Why these workshops

You don't need to become an engineer. You need a few real workflows.

Most owners get stuck in one of two places: they've heard about AI but don't know where to start, or they use it every day without turning it into anything repeatable. These workshops fix both — in plain English, with real business examples, and one small toolkit you can actually run.

No jargon.

Everything explained in plain language, tied to the way your business already operates.

Vendor-neutral.

No sales pitch. No product agenda. Just what actually works for a business your size.

Leave with something.

Prompts, workflows, or automations you can put to use the same week.

Three levels · One playbook

Pick the level that meets you where you are.

Each workshop stands alone. Do one, do all three, or bundle them for your team — the same practical playbook grows with you.

01
Level 1 — New & Curious

AI 101: What it is, what it isn't, what it can do for you.

For non-technical owners with little or no AI use — folks who feel behind or overwhelmed by the jargon.

90 min

What you leave with

  • A plain-English understanding of what AI is (and isn't).
  • 3–5 specific, safe use cases you can start this week.
  • The confidence to open a chat tool and get useful output on your own.

What we cover

  • What AI can actually do for a small business — with real examples.
  • Live demos: messy idea → clean email, social post, FAQ, or SOP.
  • Hands-on: you write and run 2–3 prompts for your own business.
  • Safety basics: privacy, double-checking answers, what not to paste in.
02
Level 2 — Use AI Daily, Want More

Everyday AI: From tasks to systems.

For owners already using AI for writing or ideas — dabbling daily, but without structure or repeatable systems.

2–3 hours

What you leave with

  • 2–3 repeatable workflows tied to real outcomes — content, proposals, or documentation.
  • A small library of reusable prompts and templates your team can share.
  • A clear, defensible AI stack instead of app-of-the-week chasing.

What we cover

  • From one-off prompts to playbooks: what changes when you document.
  • Workflow design: pick one real process, map it, insert AI where it fits.
  • Build a prompt library your team can actually reuse.
  • Tool sanity check: pick your core stack, stop chasing every new app.
03
Level 3 — Advanced

AI Operations: Connectors, automations, real-time.

For non-technical but confident AI users. Owners ready to connect AI to Google Workspace, a CRM, calendars, and daily operations.

3–4 hours

What you leave with

  • At least one end-to-end workflow connecting AI to your existing tools.
  • A working model of "AI as operator" — with permissions, logging, and human oversight.
  • Confidence to design more of these on your own, or brief someone to build them.

What we cover

  • AI as coworker vs. operator — what changes when it can read and write to your systems.
  • Connectors 101: email, docs, CRM, calendar, and how they plug together.
  • Design a real-time flow: e.g. webform → categorize lead → update CRM → draft follow-up.
  • Hands-on build with a no-code tool (Zapier, Make, or n8n) — with guardrails and a manual override.
The bundle

One playbook that grows with you.

Every workshop comes with the AI for Small Business Playbook — a living document, not a PDF that dies on a hard drive. It grows as you level up.

  • A prompt library you can adapt to your own voice and business.
  • Workflow templates for the processes small businesses actually run.
  • Automation diagrams for the wiring you'd otherwise have to reverse-engineer.
  • Guardrails and safety checklists so nothing gets away from you.
Talk about a team cohort
Logistics

How it runs.

Format

In your space or online. Public workshops or private cohorts for a single team.

Group size

Designed for 6–15 people. Small enough for real hands-on time, big enough for good discussion.

Who hosts

Great fit for chambers of commerce, co-working spaces, SBDCs, non-profits, and small business owner groups.

What to bring

Your laptop, and one real process you want to make easier. We'll work on your business, not a hypothetical one.

A short call. No pitch. Bring the group you have in mind — chamber, team, cohort — and we'll shape a session that lands.
