OVERVIEW

This 1-day hands-on workshop on Generative AI is for working professionals, no coding required. Participants explore how large language models (LLMs) work, master the art of prompt engineering, and apply AI tools including ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Canva AI, Gamma, and NotebookLM to real workplace tasks.

The programme goes beyond tool tutorials: participants learn how to think with AI, build reusable prompt frameworks, use AI ethically and responsibly, and create content, visuals, presentations, and knowledge hubs that save hours every week. Every participant leaves with skills that they can immediately apply at work.

By the end of the programme, participants will be able to:

1. Explain what Generative AI is, how LLMs work, and how AI differs from traditional software tools.
2. Apply prompt engineering techniques usingframeworks to get better, faster results from any AI tool.
3. Use ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini to draft, edit, summarise, and enhance professional written content.
4. Create AI-generated visuals, branded graphics, and polished presentations using Canva AI and Gamma.
5. Use Perplexity AI for fast, source-cited research and competitive intelligence.
6. Upload, summarise, and extract insights from long documents and reports using NotebookLM.
7. Identify ethical risks, AI hallucinations, and responsible AI use principles in a workplace context.
8. Build a personal AI workflow and reusable Prompt Library tailored to their own job role.
