Interactive Agenda Planner

Analyze and select the best agenda for your "AI for Work" session.

💡 Key Recommendations for Your Session

Tool Focus: Start with a single, versatile tool like Gemini or ChatGPT to avoid overwhelming participants. Introduce specialized tools like Perplexity or AI website builders later for specific demonstrations.

Participant Practice: For hands-on segments, provide pre-written text snippets (e.g., sample reviews) to ensure everyone, especially those on free accounts, can follow along easily and work from a consistent baseline.

Pacing: Remember to schedule at least one 15-minute break within the 3.5-hour session to keep the audience engaged and focused.
