SCORE Beyond The Hype: AI Tools - What's Working Now and What You're Missing

Event description

You've heard the buzz. Maybe you've even tried ChatGPT a few times. But there's a gap between dabbling and actually putting AI to work in your business — and most of the training out there doesn't help. It's either too technical, too salesy, or built for someone with an IT department.

This session is built for you: an established business owner who doesn't need another lecture on what AI is, but wants to know what it can actually do for your business starting this week.

In 90 minutes, you'll learn:

• Where AI delivers the best ROI for service-based businesses — not in theory, but in practice

• The three most common mistakes business owners make with AI (and how to avoid them)

• Which free and low-cost tools are actually worth your time — and which ones to skip

• A simple framework for finding the single highest-impact AI opportunity in your business

You'll also see a live demonstration of AI handling real business tasks — Competitive Business Analysis, Customer Insights, Social media automation — so you can see the difference for yourself.

No jargon.No technical background required. Just practical answers to the question every business owner is asking: "What can AI actually do for me?"

You'll leave with clear next steps you can implement immediately — not someday, not after another course, but tomorrow.
