Use AI to save time, reduce admin and improve consistency, without the hype or guesswork. 

Our free 1-hour intro session helps small businesses understand what AI is actually useful for, what to avoid, and what a sensible next step could look like for your business.

“I now know how to use AI responsibly and ethically, the value of better prompting and the importance of treating AI not as a shortcut, but as a collaborative tool to help refine ideas, improve quality and boost productivity.”

Dawn Chamberlain, Employer Engagement Officer, Devon County Council. 

• Practical, not preachy

If AI feels useful, but still a bit unclear, you are not alone

Many small businesses can see the potential of AI, but still feel stuck between curiosity and action. 

You might be wondering: 

• Where do I even start?  
• Is this only for technical people?  
• Will this create more work, not less?  
• Can I trust the outputs?  
• What is safe to put into these tools?  

That is exactly why this session exists.

We keep it practical. We focus on real tasks. We help you understand where AI can help, where it needs care, and how to take one sensible next step without overcomplicating things.

“I was a little wary of AI to begin with, after hearing so many horror stories. But the course has really helped me not only see the benefits of using it firsthand but also see the potential for how AI can help significantly improve processes and outputs in work, provided it is used properly.”

Simon Culley – Communications & Digital Lead for Engaging Communities South West, Healthwatch in Devon, Plymouth and Torbay

What do you get in the free 1-hour session?

AI can be useful, but it can also feel unclear or risky. This free session will help you see where AI can genuinely help, how to use it safely, and what a sensible first step could look like for your business. 

You do not need technical knowledge or previous experience. We will use plain English and practical examples from everyday work.

In the session, we will cover: 

• Where AI can help in a small business  
• Examples such as emails, notes, summaries, planning and templates  
• How to get better results with clearer instructions and context  
• What is safe to do, and what needs more care  
• How to check AI outputs before using them  
• One realistic starting point for your business  

You will leave with a clearer idea of what to try, what to avoid, and how to take a safe first step. 

How does this help small businesses?

Save time on repetitive work 
Use AI to speed up first drafts, notes, follow-ups, FAQs and routine planning. 

Reduce admin and mental load 
Spend less time starting from scratch or rewriting the same things. 

Build confidence without overload 
Get a clearer sense of what AI is good for, where it goes wrong, and how to use it sensibly. 

Start safely 
Understand what not to paste into public AI tools, where human checking matters, and how to stay in control. 

Who is this for?

This is a good fit if you are:

• Running a micro business or small business  
• Curious about AI, but cautious  
• Short on time and unsure where to begin 
• Looking for practical examples, not theory  
• Exploring a first safe step for yourself or your business  

This is probably not the right fit if you are:

• Looking for deep technical implementation  
• Expecting a fully automated setup with no human checking  
• After a generic consumer course with no business context  

Safe and responsible use comes first 

We keep AI practical, but we also keep it sensible. 

A simple rule is this. If you would not paste it into a public forum, do not paste it into a public AI tool. 

That means:

• Important outputs should be checked by a person  
• Personal, confidential or sensitive information should stay out of public AI tools  
• Higher-risk work needs more care, and sometimes should stay offline  
• Choose the right next step

The aim is not blind trust. The aim is safe, useful, realistic use in real work.

What do people say?

Useful, practical and grounded in real work 

“My outputs have improved dramatically since taking this course. I used to wrongly think AI could do the work for me, but I now know it can help improve the work I already do. The course has allowed me to use it as a co-pilot, not an autopilot, and it has helped me so much.”

Simon Culley – Communications & Digital Lead for Engaging Communities South West, Healthwatch in Devon, Plymouth and Torbay

Frequently asked questions

I am not technical. Will I be out of my depth? 
No. This is designed for mixed-confidence business audiences. We keep it clear, practical and grounded in everyday work. 

We do not have time for a big project. 
This is not a big project. The aim is to help you identify one useful starting point that could save time, not add more work. 

Is this just a sales pitch? 
No. The session should be useful in its own right. It is there to help you decide what, if anything, makes sense next. 

What about GDPR, privacy and confidentiality? 
We cover safe use in plain English, including what should not be pasted into public AI tools. 

“The training is very accessible to a whole range of people and learning abilities. You do not need to already use AI or even be sure you want to work with it, to find this useful.”
