About this Event

Curious about AI, but not sure where to start?

You’re not alone.

Most business owners I speak to are not looking for robots, complicated systems or a degree in computer science.

They simply want to know:

✔ What actually is AI?
✔ Can it really save me time?
✔ Which tools should I be using?
✔ How do I get started?
✔ How do I use it safely?

This workshop is for you if you’ve heard all the noise around AI, but you want someone to explain it in normal business owner language.

No jargon.
No silly questions.
Just practical AI for real businesses.

Join GrowthZone AI founder Kaye Nicholson for a relaxed, practical and jargon-free workshop designed especially for small business owners, freelancers, consultants and one-person businesses.

No technical knowledge required.

No confusing language.

No overwhelm.

Just real examples, live demonstrations and simple ways to start using AI in your business today.



What we’ll cover

Simple ways AI can save you time
