About this session
The perfect kick-off session if you're ready to dive into AI more but feel a bit overwhelmed with all the tools and buzzwords out there!
In this session we'll cut through the bs and walk through the basics. We'll translate the acronyms you keep hearing, and go through the most popular tools out there right now - so you can pick your favs and ignore the rest.
What we'll cover
What an LLM, an agent, and an "AI tool" actually are (and why the difference matters)
A guided tour of the big players - Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Lovable, and others - and what each is genuinely good at
Choosing your personal AI stack live, based on your role and where you want your career to go
What to ignore completely (so you can stop wasting your time)
You'll walk away with
Your simplified tool stack, chosen and ready to learn
A clear mental model of the landscape, so next week's shiny launch doesn't shake it
Perfect for: anyone who feels behind in AI conversations, has tried a few tools without a plan, or is done collecting "ultimate guide" PDFs she never opens.
