Ai in a Day – From Curious to capable

A full intensive day of Ai learning, brought to you for a fraction of the price thanks to sponsorship from AlleyCat works, Business Wairarapa, and Venue sponsor Copthorne Solway.

Most business owners know AI is important. Few have had the time — or the right opportunity — to actually sit down and learn it properly.

This is that opportunity.

In one full day at Copthorne Masterton, you’ll go from knowing AI exists to genuinely knowing how to use it. Not in theory. Hands-on, in the room, with real tools and real problems from your own business.

Do you have a pain point you can’t seem to solve? An idea for how AI could help but no idea where to start? This is exactly the place to bring it. We work on real business challenges in the room — not made-up ones — so if you’ve been sitting on something, bring it with you.

And here’s the part that surprises most people: every tool we use is free. Claude, ChatGPT, Perplexity, ElevenLabs, Le Chat and more — no paid subscriptions, no credit cards, no hidden agenda. We’ll show you exactly what’s possible at zero cost, so that any decision you make to invest in AI after this day is yours to make — informed, confident, and on your own terms.

You’ll leave with more than notes. You’ll leave with a finished AI governance policy, a prompt library built around your business, a tools comparison guide, and a 30-day action plan you complete on the day. Real things. Not a folder of slides you’ll never open.

Valued at $400 per person — available to Business Wairarapa members for just $160, thanks to funding support from Alley Cat.

No tech background needed. No subscriptions required. Just bring a laptop and that idea you haven’t known what to do with yet.
