Course Introduction

Beyond ChatGPT, there’s a fast-growing toolkit of AI apps that save time on everyday work – writing, notes, slides, images, research and automation. This one-day course gives professionals a practical tour of the best AI productivity tools and exactly how to use them to reclaim hours every week. Hands-on, current and immediately useful.

Why this matters

The AI landscape is far bigger than ChatGPT, and the right tool can collapse hours of work into minutes – whether that is notes, slides, research or automation. But the sheer number of options is overwhelming, and not all are safe or worth the time. This course cuts through the noise, showing your team the genuinely useful tools and how to use each one well.

What You Will Learn

• The everyday AI toolkit – writing, notes, slides, images and research
• AI note-takers and meeting assistants
• Creating documents, slides and visuals in minutes
• Automating repetitive tasks and workflows
• Choosing the right tool for the job
• Using AI tools safely and within POPIA

The Advantages of Attending

• Long reports and proposals summarised in minutes – Delegates leave able to turn a 40-page report, supplier quote or meeting pack into a one-page brief in minutes, instead of reading and re-typing it by hand all afternoon.
• Meeting minutes that write themselves – Your team learns to run an AI note-taker that captures decisions, action points and owners automatically, so no one rewrites their own minutes after every call and nothing agreed in the room goes missing.
• Decks and documents drafted, then properly checked – Staff learn to generate a first-draft slide deck or proposal in minutes, then fact-check and edit it to house standard, so you get the speed of AI without shipping its hallucinations or sloppy formatting.
• Useful from the next morning, no IT rollout – These are browser and app tools your people can open tomorrow, several free or already on your subscriptions, so there’s no software project, no licensing wait and no long onboarding before the time saving starts.
• Research and visuals turned around faster – Delegates leave able to compare suppliers or markets, summarise the findings and produce on-brief images for a deck without waiting on a designer or analyst, so client responses and internal reports go out sooner.

Skills You Will Walk Away With

• Run an AI note-taker across a meeting to auto-capture minutes, decisions and action items, then export a clean summary to the right people
• Generate a first-draft slide deck from a brief or document, then refine its structure, headings and talking points into a presentable pitch
• Produce reports, proposals, emails and policies by prompting an AI document tool, then editing the draft for accuracy and house tone
• Create on-brief images and simple visuals for decks, social posts and internal documents with AI image generators, without a designer
• Use AI research tools to gather, compare and summarise information on suppliers, markets and topics, then verify the sources before relying on the output
• Build a basic workflow automation that links everyday apps so filing, reminders and data hand-offs run without manual effort
• Write clear, specific prompts that get usable output the first time, and iterate when an AI tool’s result misses
• Apply simple ground rules that keep confidential data out of AI tools and catch hallucinated facts and copyright risks before they reach a client
