BuiltSmall offers a free, one-hour introduction to AI for small business owners. Join us in person in Chinatown or online.
This is the starting point. If you are curious about AI but have not used it for your business, or you have opened a chatbot once and were not sure what to do next, this session is for you.

What AI is, without the hype
Privacy, safety, and the mistakes to avoid
How to find the right problem in your business to solve with AI

This is a hands-on training. Please sign up for a free account with Gemini, Claude, ChatGPT, or an AI tool of your choice ahead of time, and bring a laptop or phone.
No experience is needed. The next step after this training is a Build Session, which you can find out more about here.
