AI upskilling, AI tool usage, AI agent building, how folks are integrating the tech into their workflows both personally and professionally?
By the way, I am doing AI upskilling at work, and I would be happy to do a 45-minute mini-training session on using AI tools if that's of interest. And if not on the night, I could do one in the future online or in person. Online is easy to do for everyone, and it'd be 90 minutes.
