Most AI workshops give everyone the same demo. This one starts with a diagnostic. Before you walk in, we already know your experience level, the tools you use, and what you're trying to achieve. That means no wasted time, no sitting through basics you already know, and no being left behind.

The Problem This Workshop Solves

You've tried ChatGPT. Maybe Gemini or Claude too. Sometimes the results are brilliant. Often they're mediocre, inconsistent, or completely off-target.

That's not the tools' fault — it's a workflow problem. Most professionals are using AI the way they'd use Google: type a question, hope for the best. But these tools are capable of so much more when you know how to structure your approach.

This workshop gives you the system. Not theory — practical techniques you can apply the same afternoon.

What You'll Walk Away With

A structured AI workflow — not just tips, but a repeatable system for getting consistently excellent results from ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and other tools.

Prompting that actually works — move beyond trial-and-error with proven frameworks that produce reliable, high-quality output every time.

Custom AI assistants built to your specific needs — brand voice checkers, research analysts, meeting summarisers, content strategists that remember your context and preferences.

Hands-on image generation — create professional visuals for presentations, marketing materials, and social media using DALL·E, Midjourney, and other tools. No design skills required.

Deep research capability — learn to use AI-powered research tools that search, verify, and compile information from multiple sources in minutes instead of hours.

Voice and multimodal workflows — go hands-free for brainstorming, document review, and multitasking without sacrificing quality.

A personalised action plan — based on your diagnostic results, you'll leave with specific next steps for integrating AI into your daily work.

How It Works

Step 1: Complete the Diagnostic Before the workshop, you'll complete a short online assessment that maps your AI experience, tools, goals, and concerns. This takes about 5 minutes and generates your personalised AI Learner Profile.

Step 2: Attend the Workshop Join us at Workshop17 for an intensive, hands-on session. Every demonstration, exercise, and recommendation is shaped by the group's diagnostic results — so the content adapts to who's in the room.

Step 3: Apply Immediately You'll leave with prompt templates, workflow structures, setup guides, and a resource library. Plus post-workshop support if you get stuck.

Workshop Agenda

The agenda below is our standard structure — but it flexes based on attendee diagnostics. If the room is full of power users, we go deeper. If most attendees are just starting out, we build stronger foundations.

Opening: The AI Productivity Gap — Why most professionals waste 80% of AI's potential, and the three shifts that change everything.

Module 1: Structured Workspaces — Setting up ChatGPT Projects, Google Gemini Gems, and Claude Projects so your AI remembers your context, preferences, and files across every conversation.

Module 2: Prompting Frameworks — The difference between a mediocre prompt and an excellent one. Practical frameworks you'll use daily — with live examples from real business scenarios.

Module 3: Voice, Vision & Multimodal — Working hands-free, analysing images and documents, and combining modalities for tasks like meeting notes, document review, and brainstorming.

Module 4: Deep Research & Image Generation — Using Perplexity, ChatGPT Deep Research, and Google Deep Research to compile verified reports in minutes. Creating professional images with DALL·E and other generation tools.

Module 5: Custom AI Assistants — Building assistants tailored to your specific workflow — from brand tone checkers to client proposal writers to data analysts that know your business.

Hands-on Practice & Q&A — Apply what you've learned with guided exercises using your own work challenges. Get your specific questions answered.

Who This Is For

This workshop is designed for consultants, freelancers, entrepreneurs, and professionals who want practical results — not AI hype.

You'll get the most from this if you're already experimenting with AI but frustrated by inconsistent results, spending too much time on tasks that AI could handle faster, managing a team and wanting to lead AI adoption, or curious about AI but unsure where to start with so many tools available.

No technical experience required. If you can use a web browser and email, you can master these tools.

What Past Attendees Say

"Last week's Imbila AI workshop wasn't about watching demos or being told what might be possible one day. It was about sitting down, opening the tools, and discovering just how much you can actually build with AI — right now." — Workshop attendee, February 2026

Questions?

What tools do I need? We recommend having access to at least one paid AI tool (ChatGPT Plus, Claude Pro, or Gemini Advanced) to practise the advanced features. You can attend with free accounts to learn the techniques, but paid tiers unlock the full capabilities we'll demonstrate.

What should I bring? Your laptop (fully charged) and a specific work challenge or project you'd like to optimise with AI. The more real the example, the more you'll get from the hands-on exercises.

Which AI tools do you cover? Primarily ChatGPT, Claude, and Google Gemini — but we also touch on Perplexity for research, image generation tools, and automation platforms. The frameworks we teach are tool-agnostic, so you can apply them anywhere.

Is this technical? Not at all. If you can use web browsers and email, you'll have no problem following along.

Will this be recorded? Live attendance is essential for the hands-on exercises. Registered participants receive access to all materials and resources afterward.

What if I can't make the next date? Complete the diagnostic and contact us — we'll find a slot that works for you.
