A free event in Cwmbran will focus on how small businesses can use artificial intelligence tools to save time, improve productivity and support growth.
Curious Community’s latest gathering, titled ‘Small AI, Big Gains’, takes place at the Parkway Hotel on Tuesday 17 November, from 5pm to 6.30pm.
Rather than focusing on headline-grabbing developments in artificial intelligence and billion-pound technology projects, organisers say the event will explore the practical AI tools that many businesses already have access to through their laptops, mobile phones and workplace software.
The discussion will look at how AI can help with everyday tasks such as drafting routine emails, chasing invoices, turning meeting notes into actions and analysing spreadsheets, helping business owners reclaim valuable time.
Organisers compare the approach to the philosophy of marginal gains popularised by former British Cycling performance director Sir Dave Brailsford, where small improvements made consistently can produce significant long-term results.
They say that by saving time on routine tasks, business owners can focus more on strategy, growth and wellbeing.
Guest Small AI speakers
Two guest speakers will share their experiences of using AI in their businesses.
Richard Sheppard, founder of tech company LinguaSkin, will explain how AI has helped increase the capacity and capability of his team while making online applications available in multiple languages.
He will be joined by entrepreneur Joshua Walsh, whose AI-powered ventures Sentoma and Stockmore are using technology to help small teams achieve results that previously required larger workforces and budgets.
Organisers have also promised a surprise guest speaker, described as an AI expert who “most of you will know”.
The event is open to anyone interested in learning more about practical uses of AI, with organisers promising “honest conversations about what works, what doesn’t, and where to start”.
