Working with AI: Practical Productivity for Founders

A practical two-hour session on using AI assistants for the founder jobs that keep getting pushed back: market and prospect research, personalised outreach, drafting, summarising and planning. It covers better prompting, how AI tools handle multi-step tasks, where human judgement still has to sit, and the unglamorous parts: data privacy, confidentiality and licences. It's tool-agnostic. Presented by Andy Hickman for SETsquared Bristol, for solo founders and small teams at pre-revenue or early-revenue stage with mixed AI experience. Bring a laptop, a login to at least one assistant (ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini or Claude) and one recurring task you want off your plate. 14:00 to 16:00. Free, in person at the Sloane Robinson Building, Cattlemarket Road. Why go: you leave with one working use of AI on a real task from your own business, not a list of tools. Best for founders who have dabbled and want it to stick.
