The Deep Dive: Practical AI for Micro and Small Businesses

AI is everywhere, but how do you move beyond the hype and start using it to make a real difference in your business?

This practical, hands-on session, which is open to Tameside businesses operating as a limited company, will showcase how tools such as ChatGPT, Gamma, NotebookLM and Synthesia can help businesses save time, reduce administration, improve productivity and create capacity for growth. Through live demonstrations and real-world examples, you'll see how AI can support everything from content creation and customer communications to research, document analysis and business planning.

Designed for both beginners and those already experimenting with AI, the session focuses on practical applications that can be implemented immediately, helping you identify where AI can add genuine value to your business.

You'll discover how to:

✅ Save time on repetitive tasks and administration

✅ Create content, presentations and business resources faster

✅ Analyse documents, data and research more effectively

✅ Improve productivity using AI tools and automations
