Practical AI for Small Businesses

Generative AI tools are everywhere, but many business owners and professionals still struggle to apply them safely and effectively in daily operations.

Join the Surrey & White Rock Board of Trade for this practical, non-technical Business Growth Academy session that demystifies generative AI by exploring what it can and cannot do for small businesses.

Building AI Skills: The First Step to Creating Your Own AI Agents

Take a leap from understanding AI to creating reusable Skills in Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini for recurring business tasks.

In this interactive workshop, participants will work toward creating a draft Skill tailored to one small, recurring business task using their own digital reference materials. A Skill acts as a reusable playbook, capturing instructions for how AI should handle a specific task. After a plain-language introduction to Skills and a live demonstration, attendees will build and refine a reusable Skill connected to their own work. A practical guide will support the hands-on portion. No coding or technical background is required.
