SUMMARY:Agentic AI Onboarding for Small Businesses and Solo Entrepreneurs (Part 1 of 2)
DESCRIPTION:This is the first session of a 2-part workshop. Part 2 takes place on Wednesday\, November 18. \nRunning a small business means constantly making decisions with limited time\, data\, and resources. Which customers should you reach out to first? Where are the best opportunities for growth? How can you spend less time on repetitive tasks and more time building your business? \nIn this hands-on workshop\, you’ll see how agentic AI can help tackle these challenges through practical\, real-world demonstrations designed for small businesses and solo entrepreneurs. \nWhat You’ll Learn\n\nFrom chatbots to AI agents: How AI agents differ from traditional chatbots and can carry out multi-step tasks toward specific business goals.\nIdentify your next best customers: How an AI agent can combine public data\, market research\, and competitive insights to uncover underserved markets and build a targeted outreach list.\nStreamline everyday workflows: How AI agents can work with email and calendars to simplify routine tasks.\nUse AI responsibly: Key considerations around data privacy\, client confidentiality\, and unexpected costs when connecting AI agents to your business tools.\n\nWho Should Attend?\nSmall business owners\, solo entrepreneurs\, independent professionals\, and early-stage founders who want practical ways to apply AI to their businesses. No coding experience required. \nWhat You’ll Need\n\nA laptop (Mac or Windows)\nAn active paid AI subscription (Claude or ChatGPT) so you can follow along with the demonstrations\n\nAbout the Speaker\nGordon Cheng is a New York-based product designer who teaches non-programmers to hand real work to AI agents.
