AI at Work for Small Businesses and Charities in Stevenage

A practical evening in Stevenage for small businesses and charities. Bring your laptop and the work that eats your week. Leave with a plan. Missed calls. The same questions answered again and again. Quotes and follow-ups that slip. Admin that takes longer than it should. AI at Work is a practical, three-hour evening working session for small businesses, start-ups, charities and nonprofits in Stevenage and nearby. It is run by Online Web Presence (OWP), an outcomes-led digital consultancy for UK owner-led businesses and organisations, based in Stevenage since 2013. You have probably had the webinars, the free guides and the newsletters. This is the part they skip: sitting down with the work that eats your week and working out the fix together. No jargon, no hype and no three hours of slides. How it works Before the evening, you fill in a short questionnaire about what gets in the way in your working week. We review everyone's answers and build the session around the most common problems in the group. Then we pick the tools. Often they are ones you already pay for, such as Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, ChatGPT or Copilot. You do not need any AI experience. Problems we expect to work through include: Missed calls while you are busy with a customer. We map how calls come in and what callers need, so you leave knowing the realistic options and what they cost. The same questions again and again. We build ready replies and FAQs that you adapt to your own business. Quotes and follow-ups that slip. We build a quote and follow-up template and a simple routine for chasing. Messy admin. We break a typical admin task into steps and build a quicker way to do it, with a person checking the result. Copying data between systems. We map where your data goes, so you know whether your version is a quick fix or a job that needs proper setup and budget. Inbox overload. We set up a way to sort emails, summarise long threads and draft replies, and you still decide what gets sent. What you leave with A mapped plan for your main problem: what to fix, which tool to use and what it will cost in time or money. Templates and prompts you build in the room. An AI safety and human review checklist. A 30-day plan. Some problems are fixed in the room. Others, like phone answering, need more than a laptop and three hours, so we map them and you leave knowing the options. Who it is for Owners, managers and staff in small organisations with something in their week that takes longer than it should, who want practical judgement rather than a product demonstration. Please do not bring confidential client information or personal data. Describe the type of problem instead.
