AI at Work for Queer Men: A Beginner Workshop
AI is moving quickly, but most people do not need another technical lecture. They need a clear, practical place to begin.
AI at Work for Queer Men is a free beginner workshop designed for queer and gay men who want to understand how ChatGPT can help them work more effectively, communicate clearly, learn faster, and develop their professional skills.
Ben Gibson will share the real AI operating system he is currently building, including honest examples of what has worked, what has failed, and what he has learned while using GPT-5.6 Sol through Codex.
During this workshop, we will explore simple ways to use AI for:
Planning and organizing work
Researching unfamiliar subjects
Drafting and improving professional writing
Developing projects and ideas
Creating repeatable workflows
Turning an overwhelming objective into clear next actions
No technical background is required.
Bring one real task, project, or professional challenge you would like help thinking through.
This is an educational and community-building workshop. The goal is to help queer men approach AI with greater confidence, curiosity, and practical skill.
