Building Your Team’s AI Tool Stack: What to Use, When and Why

Co-hosted by Breakthrough and WilbeLABS, and hosted at IDEALondon, this practical workshop will help small teams choose the right AI tools for the way they work. With new AI products appearing every week, it can be difficult to know what your team actually needs. Using familiar tasks such as drafting content, carrying out research, capturing meetings, answering customer questions and organising internal knowledge, we’ll explore: The main types of AI tools available to small teams Which tools are best suited to different tasks When a general AI assistant is enough When a specialist tool or automation is useful How to avoid paying for overlapping tools your team will not use How to build a simple, practical AI tool stack We’ll cover how to assess tools based on your team’s needs, budget and existing ways of working, so you can make clearer decisions about what to introduce and why. No technical background or existing AI strategy is required. About Skills for Scale Skills for Scale is a practical workshop series for founders and small teams.
