AI access
One AI tool open and ready for class, plus a paper fallback if login, phone verification, or Wi-Fi slows someone down.
AI Jumpstart
Build your first business AI toolkit.
A three-hour, hands-on workshop for local business owners who want to use AI for real work: better customer replies, clearer marketing, repeatable prompts, and safer review habits.
Length3 hours, beginner-friendly, laptop recommended.
LocationThe Hardware Store, Brooksville, FL.
First run$99 early seat / $149 standard seat.
What people leave with
This is not a lecture about the future. The workshop is built around finished, useful takeaways.
Business Brain
A reusable business profile attendees can paste into AI tools so the drafts understand their offer, audience, voice, and rules.
Finished asset
A post, FAQ answer, customer reply, service description, event promo, or follow-up message they can review and use.
Workflow map
A repeated task with clear review rules: what AI drafts, what a human approves, and what happens next.
7-day plan
Three small next actions and an exported summary so the work is not trapped in a browser tab after class.
Built for practical local work
Examples stay close to the work small businesses already do every week.
Answer common questions faster
Turn rough notes into clear, friendly replies while avoiding private data and promises that need verification.
Create posts and offer copy
Build Google Business Profile posts, Facebook event copy, email announcements, and service descriptions.
Stop losing warm leads
Draft quote check-ins, polite reminders, and next-step messages that still stay behind human approval.
The three-hour flow
The class moves in short cycles: demo, build, review, then move to the next useful piece.
Welcome, setup, and AI without the hypePortal access, safety rules, plain-English definitions, and where AI is actually useful.
Tool setup and first useful promptPick one AI tool and learn the prompt structure beginners can keep using.
Business BrainBuild the reusable business profile that makes future AI output less generic.
Asset LabCreate and review one marketing, customer-response, or follow-up asset.
Workflow LabMap one repeated task and decide what AI drafts, what a human reviews, and where the final work goes.
7-day plan and exportChoose the next three actions, export the summary, and save the Business Brain somewhere useful.
Close and next stepFeedback link, certificate, office hours, private setup, and final questions.
Who it is for
The workshop is intentionally beginner-friendly, but it still produces useful business material.
Local business owners
People who write posts, answer questions, follow up with leads, or manage repeated admin work.
Solo operators and small teams
People who need leverage but do not have a marketing department or operations team.
No technical background
Attendees need a laptop, one real task, and basic comfort opening a browser link, typing, and copy/paste. If that is shaky, tell us before class so we can use the worksheet fallback.
