AI Beyond the Chat
You signed up for ChatGPT. Maybe you had it write an email or summarize a document. It was impressive for about fifteen minutes. Then you went back to doing things the way you always have.
That's not a failure of curiosity. It's a failure of context. Nobody showed you what AI looks like when it's wired into your actual business — your operations, your sales pipeline, your back office.
This session closes that gap. In 60 minutes, you'll go from "I've played with ChatGPT" to "I know what to do Monday morning."
