Hands-On: Set Up Your First AI Assistant

‍This in-person session is open to VIC businesses in the Digital Solutions program. Not registered yet? Takes 2 minutes here.

Reading about AI is one thing. Actually setting up a tool and getting it working for your business is another, and it's often where people get stuck. It can feel daunting to move from "this sounds useful" to a tool that's configured, customised and doing something real. This is a practical, hands-on workshop, not a talk. You'll bring your own laptop and one real task from your business, and set up a working AI assistant with a facilitator alongside you to help. Rather than leaving with notes to action later, you'll leave with something already up and running.

Please note: a laptop is required for this session, only 30 places available.

What you'll learn:

• How to set up an AI assistant from scratch, step by step
• How to give it clear instructions so it produces useful results for a real task
• How to customise it to suit the way your business works
• How to check and adjust its output so you can trust what it gives you

What you'll leave with:

• One working AI tool, configured and ready to use in your business
• The confidence to set up and adjust a tool yourself, without step-by-step help
• A repeatable process you can apply to other tasks later

Who it's for:

This session is for business owners who are curious about AI, but want hands-on help to implement it in a useful and impactful way.
