A hands-on half-day workshop in Blenheim for people who know AI matters but aren’t sure where to start.

Everyone’s talking about AI. Far fewer people know where to actually begin, and the noise makes it worse. This half-day cuts through it. You’ll get practical tools and real examples you can use the same week, taught in plain language with no assumed knowledge.
