AI for Small Business:  Practical Tools to Save Time and Simplify Daily Work
AI is no longer just for tech companies. In this practical, hands-on workshop, small business owners will learn how accessible AI tools can help streamline everyday tasks, reduce time spent on repetitive work, and improve communication and organization.

Participants will see real-world examples of how AI can be used for emails, marketing content, planning, and decision support without technical expertise or major costs. The focus is on realistic, ethical, and immediately usable applications that make day-to-day operations easier, not more complicated.

Designed for small business owners, managers, and teams who want practical results, not hype.
