Agentic AI for Small Business Workshop: AI Tools & Lead Generation

Stop simply hearing about AI and start understanding exactly how to apply it. Join for a free, practical, hands-on 90-minute workshop built directly for business owners, operators, consultants, and professionals across Durham, Morrisville, Raleigh, and the greater Triangle area.

AI agents are advanced tools that can plan, take action, and complete tasks with far less step-by-step prompting than traditional automation or standard chatbots. This interactive session cuts through the buzzwords to show you how these tools can support marketing, lead follow-up, customer communication, and repetitive administrative work.

What You Will Take Away:

• What AI Agents Actually Are: A clear, jargon-free explanation of how AI agents work and why they differ significantly from basic automation or simple chatbots.
• Where AI Agents Fit: Practical use cases targeting lead generation, follow-up strategies, customer service, automated scheduling, reporting, and internal operational workflows.
• Adoption Guardrails: Critical questions to address before introducing AI tools to your business, including true operational costs, data privacy, system reliability, and team readiness.

Who Should Attend?

• Small Business Owners: Exploring how AI can help scale your business models without rapidly expanding headcount.
• Operations & Team Leads: Looking to optimize everyday internal workflows and eliminate time-consuming, repetitive manual tasks.
• Consultants, Agencies & Freelancers: Ready to serve client accounts smarter, execute strategies faster, and gain a competitive edge.
• Curious Professionals: Anyone tired of the tech hype who wants a realistic, clear, and actionable view of AI adoption.

No technical background or coding expertise required just bring your current business operational challenges!
