The Right Tool for the Job: Get Better AI Output Without Wasting Tokens

​Not every AI task needs the same tool — and using the wrong one is quietly costing you time, money, and output that's worse than it should be.

​This free workshop is about matching the tool to the task: when a quick chat model is enough, when you need something built for deep work, and how a few changes in how you prompt and where you work can cut your AI costs while getting sharper results. No hype, no vendor pitches — just what we've learned running these tools ourselves.

What we'll cover:

  • ​Back-to-Basics: a quick reset on setup and prompting fundamentals (new to AI? you're covered)

  • ​Deep Dive: live walkthrough of picking the right tool for the job, with real before/after examples

  • ​Real Business, Real Results: a South Carolina business owner shows how this shift saved them time and money

  • ​Open Q&A: bring your own use case — we'll work through it live

Who it's for: Anyone already using AI tools who suspects they're leaving performance — and money — on the table.

​Free. In-person. Built for people who aren't tech experts.
