Automating more of your small business tasks | Toowoomba | Beginner

Your inbox doesn’t stop when you’re on the tools. Neither do bookings, supplier emails or the enquiry that lands at 7am while you’re already on a job in Gatton.

This live demo workshop shows Toowoomba and Darling Downs business owners how to hand the watching and drafting to AI, so you only step in when a decision is needed. We’ll build real automations on screen using ChatGPT Work, Claude and Grok Bot, the AI teammate that runs on its own cloud computer around the clock.

What you’ll see built live

• An enquiry responder that reads new emails, checks your price list and calendar, and leaves a draft reply waiting for your OK

• A Monday morning brief pulling bookings, overdue invoices and your priorities from email, calendar and Xero

• A daily briefing with your day, the emails that need you, and local weather and news that affect your work

• An always-on assistant that checks supplier and competitor websites and only speaks up when something changes

You’ll walk away with

• Copy-and-paste prompts for a daily briefing and an enquiry assistant you can set up that night

• A clear way to pick the one tool that suits how your business runs

• The safety settings that stop AI sending, paying or deleting anything without your approval

• A 30-day plan to get your first automations running

Who it’s for
Small business owners, sole traders and solopreneurs across Toowoomba and the Darling Downs. Tradies, clinics, hospitality, retail, rural services. You don’t need to be technical.

Before you come
Live automations need a paid plan: ChatGPT Plus, Claude Pro or an X Subscription Premium plan for Grok Bot. You only need one, and you don’t need one at all just to watch the demos.
