Practical AI For Your Business
September 14 @ 1:00 pm – 4:00 pm
YOU ASKED. WE LISTENED.
Practical AI for your business
Not theory. Not robots taking over the world. Tools you can use Monday.
A hands-on class for business owners who want AI to actually work.
Practical AI for Your Business
There are three levels of working with AI.
Level 1. You ask it things.
Level 2. You work with it.
Level 3. It works for you, because it knows you and your business.
In this workshop, we work in Level 3
The San Diego Christian Chamber of Commerce
is hosting its first AI workshop on Monday, September 14, 2026.
If you’re an owner-operator, entrepreneur, leader, or professional who spends a good part of your week answering email, writing proposals, putting together marketing, and doing other jobs the same way every time, this one is for you.
Three hours at your own laptop. Come ready to work.
What you’ll build
Three things, and each one does a different job.
- It knows you. Set it up once, so you stop re-explaining how you work and what you want. (These are called global instructions.)
- It knows your business. A place where the background is already loaded, so you don’t start from scratch every time you sit down. (This is called a project.)
- It does the job. One task you repeat every week, done on request from then on. (This is called a skill.)
We’ll also look at two things on screen: AI reading through your inbox and telling you what needs an answer, and a short briefing every morning with what’s on your plate that day.
A word about judgment
These tools are fast, and they sound certain even when they’re wrong. We’ll spend a few minutes on where your own discernment has to stay in the loop, because that part doesn’t transfer.
There’s artificial intelligence. There’s no artificial wisdom.
What you’ll leave with
By the end of the afternoon it will know you and your business, and it will handle one job you do every week.
Most people come in asking where AI could fit in their business. By the end they’re pointing at things in their own week and saying, that one.
Prompts stop fitting when the task changes. Understanding how it works doesn’t.
The setup happens this afternoon. Learning to see where else it goes takes a few weeks, and that part is yours.
Your instructor
J Brad Britton has spent forty years training salespeople and leaders, in rooms of five people to five thousand people. Through his consulting company, Leadership Lighthouse, he teaches AI cohorts and builds AI systems inside multi-million-dollar businesses. He’s currently running a cohort of business leaders through the same setup you’ll build on the 14th.
What to bring
- A laptop computer.
- An account on Claude or ChatGPT, whichever one you already use. You’ll need at least the $20 monthly plan, because some of what we build isn’t available on the free versions.
- No experience required. If you’ve only ever used AI as a glorified Google search or to help write an email, that’s plenty. If you’ve done a good deal more than that, there’s plenty here for you too.
You decide what business information goes into these tools.
We’ll talk about what belongs in them and what doesn’t.
