Workshop Overview
Overview
The best way to understand AI is to build with it. Build 5 Hands-On AI Projects in One Day is an intensive, practical workshop where you move beyond basic prompting and create five useful AI solutions from start to finish. nnWorking through guided, real-world projects, you will build an AI knowledge assistant, transform meetings into structured actions, analyse business data with AI, create an AI-powered content workflow, and design your first AI agent or automated workflow. nnAlong the way, you will learn practical concepts including prompting, context, grounding, structured outputs, multimodal AI, workflow automation and AI agents. The focus is not on theory or coding — it is on learning AI by building solutions you can adapt to your own work.
Key Outcomes
By the end of this workshop, you'll be able to:
Build practical AI solutions rather than relying on individual prompts.
Create reusable prompts and instructions that generate more consistent outputs.
Build an AI assistant that works with documents and organisational knowledge.
Transform meetings and unstructured information into decisions, actions, risks and follow-ups.
Use AI to analyse spreadsheets, identify patterns and generate business insights.
Create an AI-powered workflow for producing and adapting business content.
Understand how AI agents combine instructions, context, tools and workflows to complete tasks.
Design a multi-step AI workflow with appropriate human review points.
Apply grounding, structured outputs and verification techniques to improve AI reliability.
Identify how each project can be adapted to real activities within your own role or organisation.
Workshop Agenda
Explore the workshop
1 AI Build Essentials
Learn the foundations you need to build effectively with AI, including prompt structure, context, grounding, working with files, structured outputs and responsible AI.
2 Project 1: Build an AI Research & Knowledge Assistant
Create an assistant that works with documents, answers questions, extracts information and produces grounded summaries and insights.
3 Project 2: Build an AI Meeting & Action Assistant
Transform meeting notes or transcripts into summaries, decisions, actions, owners, risks, dependencies and follow-up communications.
4 Project 3: Build an AI Data Analyst
Use AI to explore spreadsheet data, ask questions in natural language, identify trends and anomalies, generate charts and produce an executive summary.
5 Project 4: Build an AI Content & Communications Studio
Turn one source of information into multiple audience-specific outputs including emails, briefs, FAQs, presentations and other business communications.
6 Project 5: Build Your First AI Workflow / Agent
Design a multi-step AI solution that understands a request, uses context, makes decisions, generates outputs and involves a human where appropriate.
7 From Project to Workplace
Select one real activity from your own work and create a practical plan for adapting one of the five projects to your role or organisation.

FAQs
Common questions
Do I need previous AI experience?
No. The workshop starts with the essential techniques required to complete the projects before moving quickly into hands-on building.
Do I need to know how to code?
No. The workshop is designed around accessible generative AI and low-code/no-code capabilities. No programming experience is required.
Will I actually build five projects?
Yes. The workshop is structured around five guided practical builds. You will create each solution during the session rather than simply watching demonstrations.
What are the five projects?
You will build an AI Research & Knowledge Assistant, AI Meeting & Action Assistant, AI Data Analyst, AI Content & Communications Studio, and an AI Workflow / Agent.
Is this just a prompt engineering workshop?
No. Prompt engineering is one of the skills you will use, but the workshop goes further into documents, data, structured outputs, grounding, multimodal AI, workflow automation and AI agents.nWhich AI tools will we use? | The workshop uses accessible modern generative AI and low-code/no-code tools. Specific platforms may vary depending on the workshop environment, but the techniques are designed to be transferable across leading AI platforms.
Will we work with documents and spreadsheets?
Yes. You will use documents and structured data as part of the knowledge-assistant and AI data-analysis projects.nWill we build an AI agent? | Yes. The final project introduces agentic AI and shows how instructions, context, decisions, tools and human review can be combined into a multi-step AI workflow.
Can I use these projects after the workshop?
Yes. Each project is designed as a reusable pattern that can be adapted to your own role, team or business process.
Can this workshop be customised for an organisation?
Yes. For private cohorts, the five projects can be tailored around your organisation's processes, tools, data and priority AI use cases.
