TRAIL AI Workshop Series: Bring Your Small Business Problem
About this Event
TRAIL Session 4: Small Business — Bring Your Small Business Problem
New time: 4:00 PM, with a happy hour to follow.
This is not a lecture. It's a working session built for small business owners and operators.
You bring one concrete business challenge — a marketing campaign you need to plan, customer emails you keep rewriting, a process you need to document, social content you need to create, or any operational problem where you could use a capable assistant. We work alongside you with AI tools to build a practical, usable solution.
You leave with a real deliverable, a toolkit of prompts tailored to your business, and a process you can repeat.
Stick around afterward. We're wrapping the session with a happy hour sponsored by Craton Consulting — a chance to connect with other Missoula business owners, compare notes, and keep the conversation going.
No prior AI experience required.
Session structure:
- 4:00 – 4:10 PM: Framing and tool orientation
- 4:10 – 4:55 PM: Hands-on work on your own challenge with facilitator support
