Workshop 1 vs Workshop 2

What people said
“It helped me think of ways to use AI to smoothen my personal life, not just my work life.”Workshop 1 participant
“Well-paced even for people like me who have used AI but aren't optimising it yet. Loved the examples.”Elysia · Workshop 1
“I never imagined myself getting this ‘technical’ as a non-tech person. Can't believe I have my own personal AI baby now.”Xuan N. · Workshop 2
Quick rule of thumb
Still not sure?
Choose Workshop 1 if you want practical, beginner-friendly AI workflows you can use right away in your daily life. If you've used ChatGPT before, you're ready. You'll learn how to turn messy real-life inputs into clear, useful outputs — without setting up accounts, tokens, APIs, or tech infrastructure.
Choose Workshop 2 if you want a private bot you can message, running on your own Google Cloud VM. It's a guided cloud setup — Codex does the terminal work while you create accounts and approve each step. More hands-on than Workshop 1, but you won't be memorising commands.
The two are independent — there's no required order, and neither is a prerequisite for the other. Take Workshop 2 when you have a specific recurring personal job in mind, want a private bot you can message, and are happy to follow a guided technical setup. Take Workshop 1 for quick, no-setup AI workflows you can use right away.
FAQ
FAQ
Do I have to take Workshop 1 before Workshop 2?
No. The two workshops are independent, and Workshop 1 is not a prerequisite — Workshop 2 doesn't assume you've done it. Take them in any order, or just the one you want.
Can I take both?
Yes — some people do. They cover different things and there's no required order: Workshop 1 for reusable AI workflows, Workshop 2 for a private bot you can message.
What if I want help applying this to my business?
For a tailored solution built around a real business workflow, see AI solutions for small and medium businesses →. That's a custom implementation, not a workshop.
Where are the workshops held?
Clementi. Exact location will be shared before the sessions.
