SUMMARY:UiLab's Future Tech Open House
DESCRIPTION:This Month’s Focus: Modernise Your Brand and Website – Walk out with a new look! \nYour logo and your website are the first thing anyone judges you on\, and for most businesses they haven’t been touched in years. \nIn this hands-on session we’ll start by rebuilding one brand together\, step by step\, so nobody gets left behind. Then you turn the same tools on your own work: your colours\, your images\, your homepage. \nIf you came along to our 18 August or 27 August Open Houses\, this is the natural next step\, now you make it look like it belongs to you. \nWe’ll look at Claude Design\, Leonardo AI and Midjourney\, and be honest about what each one costs and which is worth paying for.

This is the final\, applied session of the series for 2026! \nRather than reteaching every tool we’ve covered – ChatGPT\, Claude\, Copilot\, Gemini\, NotebookLM\, Gamma\, Lovable and Make – this session is about you. You’ll identify your own recurring work tasks and map each one to what you actually need AI to do: think\, create\, analyse or automate\, using the Personal AI Toolkit template as your guide. We’ll also run a brief exercise pulling together everything you’ve built across the series\, and close with what’s coming next from UiLab. \nIn this session: \n\nMap your own recurring tasks to the right AI tool\, using the Think / Create / Analyse / Automate framework\nConsolidate what you’ve built and learned across the series into one toolkit\nHear what’s next from UiLab\n\nWhat you’ll gain:  \n✅ A personal AI toolkit\, built around your own tasks\, not a generic list of tools \n✅ Clarity on which tool to reach for and when \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. \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! \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. \nQuestions?
