No Devs. No Budget. AI That Works For You - MEL
You have heard AI will change how your business runs. You have opened ChatGPT a few times. Nothing has actually changed on Monday.
That gap is not a knowledge problem. It is that nobody has sat you down with your own business, your own worst process, and helped you build something that works before you leave the room.
That is this afternoon. A hands-on workshop for SMB owners and founders in Melbourne. Bring a laptop and one process you hate. Leave with a working tool and a plan to use it.
Part of Zavior's Australian Tour. Brought to you by Zavior and Cremorne Digital Hub.
No devs. No budget. No 60-slide deck of AI hype.
What you'll walk away with
One working tool built around a real process in your business. Not a demo, not a template you will never open again.
A prompt library you can reuse for the recurring jobs that eat your week.
A one-page AI usage policy for your business: approved tools, what data never goes in, who signs off.
A vendor checklist: the questions to ask before any AI tool touches your customer data.
A 30-day plan, written in the room, for what you actually do next.
How the afternoon runs
Reality check. What AI is genuinely good at, what it is bad at, and the myths costing SMB owners the most time. You pick your anchor process here and we come back to it all afternoon.
Build. The bulk of the session. You go from "I have used ChatGPT once" to a repeatable system, with help at your table.
Keep it safe. The short, non-scary version: your privacy obligations, what happens when staff paste customer data into a free tool, and what a customer will ask you about your AI use. One page, filled in before you leave.
Next 30 days. You pair up, write the plan, and walk each other through it.
Who this is for
Owners and founders running a real business, wearing the operations or marketing hat, who want AI to be useful rather than interesting. You do not need to be technical. You do need to bring a real process, not a hypothetical.
What to bring
A laptop
A free ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini account would be helpful
One process you hate doing
What you won't get
A lecture on why AI matters
Vendor pitches dressed up as content
Vague "AI literacy" training that changes nothing about how you work on Monday
