If You Can Write Instructions, You Can Build an AI Skill (Here's How)

That's exactly what Skills make possible. By creating reusable instructions for common workflows, you can turn tasks that normally take several manual steps into something your AI handles almost instantly.

Join us for Localist Lab to hear from Carrie Rollwagen, host of the Localist podcast and Infomedia's Senior VP of Strategic Planning, as she shares how to build AI Skills that automate repetitive work, streamline processes and free up more time for the projects that need your expertise most.

This free, in-person session is part of the Localist Lab event series (formerly One Quick Coffee). It expands on the Localist podcast by bringing practical, real-world business strategies directly to the Birmingham community.

If You Can Write Instructions, You Can Build an AI Skill (Here's How)

AI Skills aren't just prompts, although they start with one. You write a detailed prompt that teaches your AI how to complete every step of a multi-step workflow, then save those instructions as a reusable Skill. After that, you simply tell your AI to run the Skill, and it executes the entire workflow in seconds. Because the Skill retains the instructions, documents and resources you've included, you can run it again and again without rebuilding the prompt each time.

In this Localist Lab session, Carrie will show you how to build AI Skills that save time, improve consistency and automate everyday tasks without needing technical expertise.

Build AI Skills That Actually Save Time

Instead of starting from scratch every time you open ChatGPT, learn how to create reusable Skills that remember your preferred process, instructions and supporting resources. Once you've built a Skill, your AI is ready to perform that workflow whenever you need it.

Turn Repetitive Work into Reusable Skills

Discover how to break a complicated project into clear, repeatable steps your AI can execute for you. Carrie will share practical examples of turning everyday business tasks into streamlined workflows that run in seconds.

Automate Your Everyday Workflows

Practical, effective AI use isn't about writing longer prompts every day: It’s about teaching your AI once and letting it do the repetitive work for you. You'll leave with ideas you can immediately apply to writing, planning and other recurring projects.
