Avtica Commons: Diskarte AI Sessions for Filipino Micro Business Owners
Running a small business usually means doing everything by hand: answering the same customer messages all day, listing sales and debts in a notebook, and trying to think of what to post next at 11:00 PM.
Most small business owners feel that new technology is only built for big companies with big budgets. Avtica Commons: Diskarte AI Sessions is designed to change that.
Hosted by Avtica, this free Friday evening session brings Filipino small business owners together to learn practical, everyday shortcuts using free AI apps like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude, right from your phone (or laptop).
No tech background, no coding experience needed. You’ll watch fellow business owners show how they actually use AI in their daily operations, and then you’ll try it on your own business with hands-on help from the Avtica team.
