What exactly is AI?
Artificial intelligence refers to computer systems that perform tasks that normally require human intelligence, such as understanding language or recognising patterns. Generative AI tools - like ChatGPT - create new text, images, audio, or code based on data they have been trained on. We focus on safe, human-centred, business-ready use. Would you like to join a free AI-Powered Business Workshop (on demand) to get you started?
How can I start using AI in my business?
Start small: stop asking the question ‘What can AI do for my business?’ and start asking ‘What tasks do I have in my business and how do I apply AI?’ - this alone will save you months of chasing shiny objects and going down rabbit holes. Move as quickly from the AI-dabble to being strategic! We can help you fast track that process with our free AI-Powered Business Workshop - want to check it out?
Is my data safe when using AI?
We design around your policies, choose appropriate tools, and implement privacy-first practices. For sensitive use cases we recommend enterprise-grade options and clear data handling and retention rules. Would you like to talk about our responsible AI approach?
What do I get in the free AI Success Lab community?
Our free community is hosted in a Private Facebook group where you can find the latest AI news and strategies. We don’t share every AI update - just what helps to move the dial in your business with AI now. We run free challenges and workshops and there is a very supportive community of other AI-curious professionals and business owners. Ideal if you’re getting started or exploring.
