AI That Pays You Back

This hands-on session is designed for creative and digital minds who want to spend less time on admin and more time on what they love. Through live demos, real examples, and a build-it-yourself challenge, you’ll see how a few smart AI tools can save you hours every week,  and maybe even open the door to brand new revenue streams.

Fuel up, meet your fellow creatives, and swap ideas before we dive in.

We’ll kick off by sharing the daily tasks that slow us down,  then show exactly how AI can take the weight off. No jargon. No intimidation. Just tools you can put to work today.

Think:

• Fast idea generation
• Instant content drafts
• Lightning-speed project summaries
• Creative support that’s actually easy to use

Watch AI in action as we explore how to:

• Spark creative ideas in seconds with visual generators
• Turn messy meeting notes into polished proposals
• Auto-summarise long project docs so you can make faster decisions
• Whip up campaign materials and social posts in minutes
• Analyse imagery for accessibility and design workflows
  

All demos use low-cost or free tools you can start using right away.

Here’s where it gets real. Pick one repetitive task in your work — and build your first AI-powered shortcut with simple, guided steps.

We’ll use friendly, creative tools like ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, Notion AI, Leonardo.ai, Adobe Firefly, and Otter.

By the end, you’ll have:

• One working automation
• A before-and-after time saving
• A small but powerful creative superpower

Saving time is great. Turning it into new opportunities is better.

We’ll explore how your shiny new AI workflows can become:

• Subscription-style services
• Paid reports and assessments
• Premium event promo kits
• Real-time media tracking offers
• Verified accessibility content
• Limited-edition design collections

Walk away with:

• A quick reference sheet with 10 everyday AI workflows for creative businesses
• An opportunity canvas to grow your own idea
• Access to a follow-up community for support, tips, and inspiration
