What we’ll cover:
Feeling the pressure to use AI at work but not sure where to start? You’re not alone.
Get comfortable with AI tools and understand how to use them in practical, everyday ways. We'll learn how to interact with large language models (LLMs) effectively, and also explore how AI can support real work tasks.
- The anatomy of a good prompt: clarity, context, and role.
- How to write prompts that save time and reduce busywork. We'll practice with work-ready prompt formulas you can use right away.
- Connect AI to your own data and tools and use it to answer questions or complete a task.
By the end, you’ll feel confident using AI for everyday tasks like drafting emails, summarizing documents, data analysis, and more. You’ll also get a glimpse of how organizations are starting to connect AI to the tools and data they already use.
Who should attend:
- Professionals curious about AI but new to the tools.
- Teams feeling pressure to adopt AI but unsure where to start.
- Anyone who wants practical, work-focused AI skills.
