Introduction to Generative AI & Practical Automation

Introduction to Generative AI & Practical Automation

AI is no longer optional—but most people are still using it inefficiently. This fast-paced, hands-on workshop shows you how to move beyond basic chat usage and start applying AI in a reliable, repeatable, and business-safe way. You’ll learn how generative AI actually fits into real work, how to get consistent results through better prompts, and how simple AI workflows can automate everyday tasks. The session ends with a live demo of a document-based AI assistant that answers questions using your own files—without technical complexity.
