AI Without the Overwhelm: How to Make AI Work for You

AI is everywhere—but if you've ever opened ChatGPT, stared at the screen and thought, “Okay…now what?” this meeting is for you.

Join us as Lily Zachariah takes the mystery (and maybe a little of the intimidation!) out of AI and shows us how everyday people and business owners can use it to save time, work smarter, and be more productive.

Lily brings nearly two decades of technical expertise as a FinTech consultant and Senior Project Manager at Alfa Financial Software. But when it came to everyday AI tools, she found herself in the same place as many of us: curious about the possibilities, but unsure where to begin.

Rather than becoming an AI expert overnight, Lily tackled the learning curve one step at a time. Now she's sharing what she learned so you don't have to figure it all out on your own.

We'll explore:

• What AI actually is—in language the rest of us can understand
• What AI can do for you and your business
• How AI can help improve productivity and save time
• How to “talk” to AI to get better, more useful results
• Practical ways to start using AI right away

Whether you've never touched an AI tool, you've experimented with ChatGPT a few times, or you're already using AI but suspect you're only scratching the surface, you'll walk away with ideas you can put to work immediately.

The goal isn't to become an AI expert. It's to discover what's possible—and learn how to make AI work for you.

Come curious. Bring your questions. And maybe bring that task you've been putting off…because AI might just be able to help with it!
