Details
Most people use AI by asking questions and getting answers. Agentic AI goes a step further. It does tasks for you. This workshop explains, in plain English, how agentic AI works and shows practical examples that small businesses can use today. No technical knowledge is required.
You will see how agentic AI can search, analyse, write, organise and trigger actions using clear, step by step instructions. We demonstrate real workflows that save time, reduce admin, and create consistency in everyday business tasks.

• Searching websites and flagging opportunities
• Drafting documents, reports and summaries
• Pulling information from spreadsheets or folders
