SUMMARY:Practical demonstrations of how to get the most out of AI in your business
DESCRIPTION:Overview\nDuring this workshop you’ll see some amazing working case studies that are bound to improve your business. From creating marketing strategies\, to data processing\, customer support\, graphic design competitor analysis and predictive maintenance we’ll show you which platforms are best suited for each task and the prompts we use to get the most out of them.\nJoin us for this demonstration led session\, where you’ll be shown numerous working AI workflow examples along with an explanation of how you can use them within your own business. All examples will be explained in plain English for the benefit of non-technical people\, covering common uses for AI and ways AI can be used within your own business\, allowing you to work faster\, better and more efficiently. \nDuring the session we’ll look at various business roles that can be automated using AI technologies. We won’t be looking to replace humans within these roles\, but will show you how you can supercharge what you do and work much more efficiently than you currently are. \nJob roles we will be demonstrating on the day using AI tools: \n■ Business development management\nLearn how to research your competition\, your own business\, validate your price points and services and look for new opportunities. \n■ Social media assistant\nHow to plan a social media strategy\, what to say and how to visualise it\, and how to produce some banners and images you can post directly online to attract new business. \n■ Marketing Manager\nWe’ll demonstrate how to build and run a successful sales pipeline that will see repeat business. AI tools are a great way to market your own business without the need for an agency\, and we’ll show you how. \n■ Production maintenance engineer\nWhat would it mean if you could spot a machine failure before it happens? Using AI we can build a digital twin of any mechanical machine and alert when behaviour such as heat\, vibrations\, voltage etc changes. \n■ Content writer\nWriting blog posts\, product pages or press releases can be a time consuming and difficult task\, but it doesn’t need to be. We’ll show you working examples you can use within your own business\, whilst retaining your own voice and sounding natural. \n■ Graphic designer\nEditing images takes time\, skill and the right tools\, but it doesn’t need to. On the session we’ll demonstrate examples where you can change images with no technical ability\, just a bit of imagination and the right prompts \nWho should attend?\nAnyone who wants to use AI for the first time or those wishing to improve their understanding of AI software and pick up some new skills. \nFurther learning\nFollowing the session\, there will be a further opportunity to arrange a time to look at your own business challenges and discuss how these can be improved using Artificial Intelligence. \nTicket Cost\nFree to attend (but please only book if you mean to come) \nAbout the trainer – Darren Bentham\nDarren has been working with AI-based technologies since 1992 and completed his education in AI at both undergraduate and master’s levels from Sussex and Chester Universities. Alongside his AI interests and skills\, Darren runs his own digital marketing agency\, which has a reputation for using Artificial Intelligence in office automation and its day-to-day tasks\, helping to reduce time and improve quality.
