AI for the Rest of Us: A Small Business Workshop

Hands-on AI automation for every kind of small business save time, save money, no tech skills required. Turn AI curiosity into a working automation in your business — by lunchtime. Hi, I'm Cyriac — I build AI products for a living, not just talk about them, and I'll be right there with you building yours. WHAT MAKES THIS WORKSHOP DIFFERENT Small businesses have adopted AI faster than almost any other sector — 82-88% now use at least one AI tool — but only 14% say it's actually "fully embedded" in how they run their business day to day. Everyone's experimented with ChatGPT. Almost nobody has actually wired AI into their operations in a way that saves real hours and real money. That gap is exactly what this workshop closes. This isn't a "here are some cool prompts" seminar. It's a hands-on build session: you'll watch 4 real automations get built live, then build your OWN working automation before you leave — something actually running in your business the next day, not a list of tools to "go figure out later." MEET YOUR INSTRUCTOR Cyriac Zeh is the founder of Nidrosoft and a production AI builder who has shipped AI products at Anthropic and Microsoft, plus his own AI tools for dental practices and other small businesses. He's not a marketing consultant who picked up "AI" as a buzzword — this is literally what he does for a living, and this workshop is built from real client work, not theory.
