AI Workshops
Structured AI learning, from first principles to advanced practice.
Practical, hands-on AI training for small businesses, niche and independent operators, and charities — built for people without a technical background who want real capability, not a demo.
Who it's for
Built for teams without a technical background.
Not aimed at developers or data teams — aimed at the people actually doing the day-to-day work.
Small businesses
Owner-operators and small teams who want AI to help with real, everyday work — not another system to manage.
Niche & independent businesses
Specialist and independent operators where generic AI advice rarely fits how the business actually runs.
Charities & not-for-profits
Registered charities receive a discount on every MerivoAI workshop — ask when you get in touch.
How AI Workshops is structured
Three levels, one continuous path.
Each level builds on the last — join wherever matches where you are today.
AI Foundations
Our flagship, 3-hour hands-on workshop — everyday prompting, judgement and a working prompt library, no technical background required.
Workflow & Automation
Chain tools together, automate repetitive processes, and start building and maintaining your own simple workflows.

The 3-Hour AI Workshop.
One session, run in person or online, built around your own team's real work — not a generic slide deck about AI.
First half
Thinking clearly about AI
- A realistic mental model for what AI actually is — and isn't — so it stops feeling like a black box
- A simple, repeatable way to get useful answers from AI, instead of trial-and-error prompting
- Where AI reliably gets things wrong, so your team knows when to double-check rather than trust blindly
Second half
Applying it to real work
- A quick way to spot which of your own tasks are actually worth handing to AI, and which aren't
- The basics of using AI safely with real business and customer data
- Hands-on: everyone builds and tests a working prompt for one of their own recurring tasks
- Where this fits next — so today is a first step, not a dead end
What your team leaves with
Not notes about AI. Something you actually use on Monday.
- A working mental model for what AI is genuinely good — and not good — at, so decisions about it stop being guesswork
- A reusable framework for getting reliable results from ChatGPT or Claude, instead of starting from scratch every time
- A personal prompt library, built and tested in the room, ready to reuse on real work straight away
- A clear, prioritised view of which tasks in your own business are worth automating first — and which to leave alone
- Basic, practical confidence in using AI safely and responsibly with real business data
Good to know
Common questions.
Do we need any AI experience already?
No. The session is built for people with no technical background and assumes nothing beyond everyday computer use.
Is this only for big companies?
No — it's deliberately built for small businesses, niche and independent operators, and charities, where a generic corporate AI course usually misses the mark.
Do charities get a discount?
Yes. Registered charities receive a discount on every MerivoAI workshop — ask when you book your Discovery Call.
Online or in person?
Both are available. In-person is the flagship format; a remote version can be arranged to suit your team.
What happens after the workshop?
You leave with a working prompt library and a prioritised list of tasks worth automating next — and a natural route into the Intermediate and Advanced levels as they open.
