Workshops

Stop dabbling with AI. Start using it properly.

Get properly set up with AI, at your desk, in 90 minutes.

A one to one session at your premises. We set up your tools, build your personalised instructions, and put it to work on your real tasks. You leave doing, not just watching.

Book your session

You are paying for ChatGPT or Claude. You know it can do more than you are getting from it. You have seen what is possible. You just have not had the time, or the steer, to set it up around your own work. So it sits underused, and you keep doing the admin yourself.

That is the "Admin Tax" we help businesses remove. This session is the fastest way to start.

The Session

How it works

90 minutes. One to one. At your premises.

We start with how you work today and what you want AI to take off your plate. We get your tools set up properly and personalised to you. We build an instruction set together, tuned to your role and your business. Then we put it to work on two or three of your real tasks. You drive throughout, so what you learn sticks.

Before the session

You complete a short intake form. That tells me how you work, so I arrive prepared and we spend the time on you, not on setup questions.

Who It Is For

Built for people who use AI a little and want to use it well.

No technical background needed. If you can use email, you can do this. Whether you are running a business, working solo, or want a private session for yourself, the session adapts to you.

Business owners

You run the show. AI should be saving you time, not adding to your to-do list.

Professionals working solo

Consultant, freelancer, or specialist. Get AI working around how you deliver.

Private sessions

For yourself, not your business. Learn to use AI properly on your own terms.

FAQ

Common questions

Do I need anything before the session?

Your laptop and your AI account login. You will complete a short intake form beforehand so I arrive prepared.

Which AI does this cover?

ChatGPT and Claude, plus clear guidance on which one suits you and which plan is right for your needs.

Do I need a paid AI subscription?

The session works with free or paid accounts. If you are on a free plan you may reach usage limits during the hands-on part of the session. A paid subscription gets the most from our time together. Either way, advising on the right plan for you is part of the session.

I have never really used AI. Is this for me?

Yes. The session meets you where you are. There is no jargon and no assumed knowledge.

Where do you cover?

Sudbury and the surrounding area, up to about 16 miles, including Bury St Edmunds. Travel is included.

What if I need to cancel or reschedule?

Plans change. You can reschedule free of charge with at least 48 hours notice. Cancel more than 7 days before your session and we will refund you in full. Within 7 days we cannot offer a refund, as your slot is reserved, but you can reschedule once if you give at least 48 hours notice.
