SUMMARY:AI Workshop | AI as Your First Employee
DESCRIPTION:THIS EVENT IS HOSTED AT 79°West Coworking Space & Innovation Hub\nNo one left behind in the age of AI. \n\n\n\n\nYour inbox is chaos. Your schedule is packed with back-to-back meetings. Your deliverables are due\, and you’re overwhelmed. This workshop fixes that. In under 90 minutes\, you’ll build a real\, working AI agent\, from scratch\, no coding required\, that reads every email\, sorts it into categories\, and tells you exactly what needs your attention first. Every morning. Automatically. Done. Not a demo\, not a concept\, a live agent you build yourself and take home today. This is what it means to become Fluid-Shaped™: instead of doing everything yourself\, you learn to summon exactly the help you need\, the moment you need it. Think of it as hiring your first AI employee\, then meeting the rest of the team you could hire/build next: an AI Chief of Staff and a bench of specialized advisors for Growth\, Sales\, Product\, and Strategy. \nWho should attend: Business owners\, operations managers\, anyone drowning in tasks or handling repetitivem workflows\, team leaders who want to see what AI can do\, and anyone curious about AI but unsure where to start. Built for real people\, not techies\, and for anyone ready to build their first Fluid-Shaped™ skill. \nWhat’s offered: A live\, hands-on build of a working AI agent on your real inbox using a free no-code tool\, plus a first look at building your own AI Advisor Team: Chief of Staff and specialized advisors for Growth\, Sales\, Product\, and Strategy. This is Fluid-Shaped™ in practice: curious enough to try\, and quick enough to see results the same day. \nYou’ll walk away with: \n• A working AI agent on your real inbox\, built by you\, live\, during the session \n• A crystal-clear\, plain-English understanding of what AI agents are\, zero tech-speak \n• Your own no-code starter guide\, so you can build your next agent completely on your own \n• First look at your own AI Chief of Staff and advisor team concept\, so you know who to hire/build next \n• Your first proof point that you’re becoming Fluid-Shaped™: skilled on demand\, not skilled in advance \nWhy attend: You would never hand a new hire one vague instruction and expect perfect results on day one. AI works the same way; it needs a clear task and a chance to prove itself. Your inbox is the easiest first hire you’ll ever make. Once it’s working\, you’ll already be thinking about who\, or what AI agent\, you build next. That’s the Fluid-Shaped™ mindset: quick to try\, quick to adjust\, and never stuck waiting to feel “ready.” Logistics: What to bring: your laptop and your inbox\, that’s it. Sign up for a free Lovable account before the session at lovable.dev. Prefer to watch first? Every registered attendee gets full step-by-step instructions after the workshop to build it on their own time. \nFluid-Shaped™ is the mindset and skill approach built for the AI era. Instead of stockpiling deep expertise in advance and carrying it for life (like the old I-Shaped\, T-Shaped\, V-Shaped\, and Comb-Shaped career models)\, a Fluid-Shaped™ person stays curious\, is comfortable saying “I don’t know yet\,” and uses AI to summon whatever skill or knowledge they need\, exactly when they need it\, then lets it go again once the task is done. In short: skilled on demand\, not skilled in advance. \nCheck out an exciting video teaser HERE! \n*This is event #3 in a five-event series. Register for event #4 HERE.
