Intro to AI Workshop

Background image - bright geometric symbols on dark background

Are you curious about how AI can transform your business, but unsure where to start?

Over the past 12 months, I’ve run AI training workshops for organisations like Local Enterprise Offices and Údarás na Gaeltachta. These sessions have consistently received high praise from attendees for being both informative and practical. Now, I’m looking to bring that same value to a broader audience through this new, no-cost workshop series.

I’m considering hosting a free Introduction to AI Workshop – a practical, 30 to 45-minute live session on Zoom.

The best part? There’s no charge to attend! However, you’ll need to be there live to benefit from the interactive, hands-on approach. Here’s how the workshop will be structured:

Workshop Agenda

  • Intro and Demo: I’ll kick things off with a demonstration on using AI. We’ll cover both basic and advanced features, highlighting key areas to watch out for. Whether you’re new to AI or have some experience, this session will provide valuable insights.
  • Discussion and Q&A: The second part is all about you. This open discussion allows you to ask questions, share your thoughts, and learn from others in the group. It’s a great opportunity to get answers to your specific AI-related questions and see how others are applying AI in real-world scenarios.

Before I go ahead and schedule the first session, I want to gauge interest and figure out the best time to run the workshop. If you’re keen to join, please fill in this very short form (it’ll take you less than a minute).

Your input is valuable, and it will help shape the first session. If there’s enough interest, I’ll kick off the first workshop soon. Thanks in advance for your feedback, and I look forward to seeing you at the workshop!
