Home/Services/AI Training

AI training where people leave able to do something.

Not a keynote about the future. Hands-on sessions for business owners, nonprofit teams, and community members with no prior experience, built so that everyone walks out having actually built something they can use on Monday.

Who this is for

Built for the room that has been left out of the AI conversation.

Rhode Island's small businesses, nonprofits, and community organizations are navigating this without the guidance larger companies buy by default. That gap is the reason this service exists.

Business owners with no AI experience and no time to waste on hype.

Nonprofit teams stretched thin, where saved hours go straight back into the mission.

Organizations wanting a low-pressure introduction for staff who are nervous about it.

Teams already dabbling, inconsistently, with nobody setting a standard.

Chambers and member groups looking for programming their members will actually attend.

Individuals who learn better one to one than in a room of thirty.

Formats

Five ways to run it, depending on your room.

60 to 90 minutes

Lunch and Learn

  • A structured, low-pressure introduction for a whole team
  • Customized to your industry and the seniority in the room
  • Live demonstration rather than slides about slides
  • Q&A shaped to surface the real organizational questions
  • Available as a recurring monthly or quarterly series
Half or full day

AI Foundations Workshop

  • For participants with genuinely no prior experience
  • Hands-on time with two or three tools, not a demo you watch
  • Everyone starts a real use case during the session
  • A printed or digital prompt starter kit to take home
  • Access to a follow-up resource library
Tailored

Industry-specific sessions

  • Nonprofits: grant writing, donor communication, program documentation
  • Retail: product descriptions, customer replies, pattern spotting
  • Healthcare administration: documentation and patient communication drafting
  • Educators: lesson planning, feedback, curriculum support
  • Real estate: listings, client communication, market summaries
Half day, max 8 people

Advanced: building workflows

  • For people who have the basics and want to build something specific
  • Mapping your highest-value repeatable workflow
  • Designing a prompt system that produces consistent output
  • Connecting AI to Sheets, Notion, Zapier, or Make
  • Quality control, oversight, and documentation your team can follow

One-on-one coaching runs as a package of 4 to 8 sessions, virtual or in person. Each session works through a real use case together, with structured practice in between. By the end you have at least three documented workflows you can run without help.

The foundations curriculum

What a first session actually covers.

Sequenced so that nobody is lost at step three, and everybody builds something by the end.

1

What AI actually is

Stripping away the noise, in plain language, with no jargon tax.

2

Where it genuinely helps

Real examples from businesses that look like yours, with the hours quantified.

3

Where it fails

How these tools go wrong, and how to catch it before it reaches a customer.

4

Hands on: drafting

Everyone writes real business content with AI assistance, live.

5

Hands on: analysis

Using AI to summarize and make sense of information you already have.

6

Build your first prompt

Constructed live, tested, and refined until it behaves reliably.

Why this is different

Most AI talks send people home impressed and no more capable. Ours send them home with something that works.

Community investment is not a marketing line here, it is a large part of why the practice exists. Sessions are priced per seat, or at a flat rate for private organizational bookings, so that the format bends to your budget rather than the other way around.

We actively partner with chambers of commerce across Pawtucket, Providence, and Central Rhode Island, along with workforce development organizations, the Women's Business Center of RI, SCORE Rhode Island, the Rhode Island Black Business Association, and the RI Small Business Development Center. If you run programming for members, there is a version of this built for that.

2 to 3AI tools every participant works with directly, hands on keyboard
1Real personal use case started during the session itself
Max 8Participants in advanced workflow sessions, so nobody hides
3+Documented workflows you can run solo after a coaching package
Engagement sizes

One session, or a program.

Questions

Before you ask.

Do participants need any experience?
None at all. The foundations workshop assumes zero background and no technical vocabulary. People who have never opened an AI tool and people who have been poking at one for a year both leave with something, because the hands-on portion works from each person's own tasks.
Does anyone need to install or buy anything?
No. Sessions run on free tiers of widely available tools, so nobody has to expense anything to participate or to keep practicing afterward. If your organization already pays for a platform, the session can be built around that instead.
Can you tailor it to our industry?
Yes, and it works considerably better that way. Tailored versions exist for nonprofits, retail, healthcare administration, education, and real estate, and new ones get built regularly. The examples, exercises, and prompts all change to match the work your people actually do.
In person or virtual?
Both. In-person sessions run around the Pawtucket and Providence area, and virtual sessions work anywhere. Hands-on exercises are designed to work equally well either way, so a remote team is not getting a watered-down version.
We are a nonprofit with almost no budget. Is this out of reach?
Please ask before assuming. Partner rates exist for nonprofits, chambers, and community organizations, and some programming runs in partnership with local business development groups. This service line exists because of the gap in access, so pricing is built to accommodate that rather than ignore it.
