Julie and Henry swap seats! Henry takes the lead to explore how AI is currently evolving, and how it’s working in favour of BIDs and small businesses.
We move beyond, “just ask ChatGPT”, and explore how AI is shifting from a personalised google search bar, and into a hand held working assistant.
From familiar and simple AI tasks such as note-taking, to exploring AI agents managing our days and emails, and CRM systems, we look at where the real time-savings are, and where human oversight still matters.
