ABOUT THIS WORKSHOP
A practical introduction to AI, built for Architects, Engineers and Construction professionals
Most Architects, Engineers and Construction professionals (AEC) know AI is becoming important. Very few have a clear picture of what it actually does, how to use it reliably, or which tools out there are worth their time.
AI Foundations closes that gap. In two hours, live, online, and free, you'll get a grounded look at what these tools actually do and how to communicate with them effectively.
WHO IS THIS FOR?
Built for AEC professionals who want straight answers
- You know AI is relevant but haven't found a clear starting point
- You've tried ChatGPT or similar but aren't getting consistent results
- You want to understand the landscape before committing to a paid plan
No prior AI experience required, none at all
