SUMMARY:AI Agents: From Chatbots to Digital Workers
DESCRIPTION:You don’t need to be a tech expert to make AI work for you. You just need the right starting point\, and that’s where we come in. \nEach month\, we run a focused\, practical\, one-hour online workshop designed to help everyday people get genuinely useful things done with AI. No jargon. No overwhelm. Just real skills you can apply the next day. \n  \n🗓️ This Month’s Topic: AI Agents – From Chatbots to Digital Workers\nEver wondered what separates a chatbot from an AI agent? This session shows you how AI can take action across your workflows\, not just answer questions. \nWe’ll walk through a clear distinction between a chatbot (you ask\, AI answers)\, automation (a trigger runs predefined steps) and an AI agent (given a goal\, AI works out the steps and uses tools to get there). Using Make\, we’ll demonstrate one simple\, relatable workflow plus a short example of Gemini Gems as a specialised assistant. No coding required\, and everything used today runs on a free account\, so there’s no cost barrier to trying it out. \n  \nIn this session: \n\nUnderstand the real difference between a chatbot\, automation and an AI agent\nSee a live workflow example end to end\nGet a short\, practical look at Gemini Gems as a specialised assistant\n\n  \nWhat you’ll gain:  \n✅ A clear framework for telling chatbots\, automation and agents part \n✅ A real workflow example you an adapt to your own repetitive task \n✅ Practical strategies you can use immediately and keep using \n✅ Clear\, practical guidelines you can follow along with in real time \n  \nThis session is for:  \n\nCorporate professionals preparing reports\, proposals\, or board decks\n\n\nSole traders and small business owners trying to run their business with limited time and staff\n\n\nAnyone: business\, community\, or personal projects — or if you’re simply tech curious!\n \n\nHow it works:  \nFormat: Online session — link sent after registration \nDuration: 1 hour \nPricing: FREE for Logan City residents and businesses. This series is our gift to our local community.\nFor those outside Logan\, a small fee helps us keep these sessions running. \n  \nReady to join us? Hit Register above to grab your spot. Sessions fill up — booking takes 60 seconds! \nIf you’re not sure this is for you\, ask yourself: Is there anything in your work that feels repetitive\, time-consuming\, or just harder than it needs to be?\nThere’s a good chance AI can help and we’ll show you how! \n  \nCome back every month.  \nEvery session stands alone\, so you can dip in and out. But the people who get the most out of this series are the ones who keep showing up\, building skills month by month\, alongside a community of people on the same journey. \nJoin our growing community who are making AI work for their businesses\, not against them. \n  \nQuestions?
