AI Workshops for Business: How Do You Choose One That Fits Your Work?

Quotes, replies and reports keep landing back on your desk. You want the first draft handled without starting from a blank page each time. An in-person AI workshop for business gives you four hours to build and test an AI workflow for one repeated task from your own business, on your own laptop. Our public Sunshine Coast workshop gives you four hours to work on one repeated business task, and people from other areas can travel to the Sunshine Coast to attend it. Bring one task that wastes your time. Leave with an AI workflow that handles it.

Key takeaways

• An in-person workshop works on one job your business already repeats. We teach business owners and teams how to use AI on that work, and you build on your own laptop with hands-on help.
• Five inputs turn a repeated job into instructions you can run again: Context, Task, Source, Rules and Output. We help you build and test the workflow.
• Online business AI programmes teach the fundamentals of Big Data, artificial intelligence and machine learning and where you can deploy them across a business. 1 An in-person session builds one working process instead, and we also bring private AI training to your workplace.
• The public workshop is A$495 including GST per person for four hours, capped at 15 paid attendees, with the date to be announced.
• Every draft is checked against the information your business supplied before anyone sends it.

What is an AI workshop for business, and what happens in one?

It is a working session on one repeated business task. We teach business owners and teams how to use AI on the work their business repeats, and we work with owners and teams across industries.

You build on your own laptop with hands-on help. The task you bring is the task you work on for the session, so what you leave with fits the way your business already runs.

How does one repeated task become a workflow you can use again?

You write the job down as five inputs, then test them on a real example. A five-input AI prompt gives the assistant your business context, the task, your source material, your rules and the output format you need. We help you build and test that workflow so you can run it again.

The five inputs are Context, Task, Source, Rules and Output.

Write these before you add your source material. They describe the job, and they give you a basis for checking the draft that comes back.

Which task should you bring to an AI workshop?

Bring a specific piece of work, not a broad goal. A quote from one site visit, a reply to one customer question or a weekly update for one property all work. Bring the information that task needs: your own notes, templates and rules.

Your business task determines the training example. We build training around your business tasks, your source material and the output you need.

What does the public Sunshine Coast workshop include, and what does it cost?

A ticket is A$495 including GST per person for four hours of hands-on AI training in person on the Sunshine Coast.

You keep the instructions and the example you tested during the session. The date is to be announced and the exact venue is confirmed with it, so join the waitlist to hear first.

Should you choose a public workshop, private onsite training or an online AI course?

Choose by what you want to walk out with. A public workshop suits one or two people bringing one repeated task, and people from other areas can travel to the Sunshine Coast to attend. Private training suits a team that needs the same task handled the same way, and we bring it to your workplace. An online course suits strategy and background reading.

Online programmes teach the fundamentals of Big Data, artificial intelligence and machine learning and the areas where you can deploy them to support a business. 1 They cover the many uses of AI in an enterprise setting and the tools that lower the barriers to using it. 2 One course covers AI-based business and operational models and how to implement them ethically to capitalise on new market opportunities. 3 Another combines coursework, team activities with a global network and a hands-on capstone project. 4

Our sessions run on your task, your source material and your laptop, and you finish with one process you can use the next working day.

How do you arrange private AI training for your team?

Start with a conversation about your team's tasks, location and experience. A fixed quote follows that conversation. Team size, session length and travel determine the price.

We scope private training around your team's tasks, experience and location, then help your team agree on the source material, instructions and review process for a repeated task. Sessions are scoped for roughly 4 to 20 people, and larger teams can be split across sessions. Each person brings the laptop they will use afterwards, and we confirm tool and account requirements during scoping.

Private training takes place at your workplace. We deliver it on the Sunshine Coast and in Brisbane, Gold Coast, Ipswich, Noosa, Moreton Bay, Logan, Redlands, Toowoomba and Gympie. Sunshine Coast onsite training covers Maroochydore, Caloundra, Mooloolaba, Buderim, Birtinya, Nambour and Coolum.

How do you check AI output before it reaches a customer?

You check the output against the information your business supplied. That is why Source and Rules sit inside the workflow: the draft has to match the notes, documents and approved facts you gave it, and flag anything missing.

Participants test the workflow on a safe example during the session and check the result against their source material. You need a workflow you can check before its output reaches a customer.

Online courses approach the same problem through policy. They cover the ethics and risks of AI, designing governance frameworks to apply AI fairly, and people management in the design of HR functions within machine learning. 5 They teach strategies for recognising biases in data, maintaining trust with user data and privacy, and constructing a responsible governance strategy. 6 Our check happens on one draft, against one set of source material, before it is sent.

Who runs the training, and what AI work have they done?

We build AI workflows in real businesses, including our own. In Searchmaxxed, we built AI workflows for creating blog posts, doing SEO and preparing custom proposals.

We helped automate Radiant Roof Repairs' internal processes using AI. We used AI to automate SEO, enquiries and admin for Glen House Homoeopathy.
