Intro to AI for Small Businesses/Entrepreneurs

Learn the basics of AI and how small businesses use it to save time, solve problems, & build smarter workflows. No tech background required.

AI is everywhere but what does it actually mean for small businesses?

This hands-on, beginner-friendly session is designed to introduce small business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs to the fundamentals of AI in a practical, approachable way. We’ll break down what AI is (and isn’t), explore easy-to-use tools, and workshop real business blockers where AI can help reduce friction, save time, or spark new ideas.

This is not a lecture. Expect guided activities, real examples, and conversation plus time to connect with other local business owners.

This class is recommended for all experience levels and is especially helpful if you plan to attend our Web Development with AI session later this month.

You’ll walk away with:

• A clear understanding of AI basics
• Examples of AI tools small businesses can use right away
• New ideas for solving everyday business challenges
• Community connections with fellow founders
