🧰 AI in Practice Lab – Set Up Your AI Workspace

​AI is finally “warm water” at work. In this hands-on lab, you’ll pick the AI you actually use (Copilot ChatGPT / Claude / Gemini) and leave with a properly configured workspace: memories + instructions, a project/notebookgem structure, and a repeatable setup you can apply to real work immediately.

Time & Date
Tuesday, Feb 10, 2026 — 2:00–4:00 PM ET (plus optional in-person happy hour afterward)

If you’ve tested AI tools but haven’t made them actually stick in your day-to-day work, this lab is designed for you.
Many people have tried AI at work and walked away with a “meh” experience—especially if they first encountered early versions of Copilot or Gemini. Today, the major platforms have matured and are broadly comparable. The difference-maker is not which tool you use, but how you set it up and how you organize your work inside it.
In this 2-hour, hands-on workshop, we’ll do a quick tour of what’s changed across Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini—then move fast into breakout groups, where you’ll configure your account and build a usable workspace around real work you already do.

Requirements

• ​Laptop required

• ​Please have access to (or be ready to activate) one of these tools: Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini

• ​Best experience if you’re on a paid plan for your chosen tool (you’ll be asked to pick your platform during registration)
