Description

What if you had a team member who never slept, knew your business inside out, and answered customer questions at 2am?

You've tried ChatGPT. Maybe you've played with Claude or Gemini. But you haven't built anything that actually works for your business, and you know you're falling behind.

This isn't a lecture. This isn't a demo you watch and forget.

This is a 2-hour hands-on sprint where you'll build a custom AI assistant trained on your own business information—and walk out with it working on your laptop, ready to use tomorrow morning.

What You're Actually Building

Imagine a digital team member who:

Knows your products, services, and prices
Speaks in your brand voice (not generic robot-speak)
Answers your most common customer questions while you sleep
Drafts emails, creates content, and handles routine enquiries
Works 24/7 without sick days, holidays, or overtime

What to Bring:

A laptop (fully charged) with a web browser
A ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini account (free tier is fine setup instructions sent before the event)
2-3 business documents: your FAQ page, price list, product/service descriptions, or anything a new employee would need to learn about your business
Your curiosity and your real business questions

What You'll Learn

General AI vs custom AI
How to define your assistant's personality, knowledge, and boundaries
How to ensure AI gives accurate, on-brand answers
How to improve your assistant using real customer scenarios
How to ensure your AI team understand the responsible AI guardrails
WA AI Hub's 5-point governance checklist

Who Should Attend?

This workshop is perfect for:

Small business owners tired of answering the same questions repeatedly
Solo operators who can't afford to hire but need support
Retail and hospitality owners wanting 24/7 customer service
Trades and service businesses needing help with quotes and enquiries
Consultants and coaches wanting to scale their time
Anyone who's tried AI but hasn't made it work for their actual business

Not for you if: You're looking for a general AI introduction. This is a build session, you'll leave with a working tool.

No technical experience required, just a laptop and your business knowledge.
