Session Agenda
Online · Watch-along demos
What is an LLM?
Plain-language tour of how AI models work — tokens, hallucinations, and why recent info can be less reliable.
See it work
First live demo so you can see what we're actually talking about before we go deeper.
Which AI tools should I use?
A simple map of the landscape — ChatGPT, Claude, coding tools, embedded helpers, and automation — and what each is good at.
Getting real value from your AI
The hands-on heart of the session: prompting, building live artifacts, giving your AI memory with Projects, and connecting it to your existing tools.
The ethics of AI
A grounded look at job disruption, privacy, deepfakes, and what you can do about it.
Advanced: what's possible
A taste of orchestration and automation — how a motivated non-expert can build surprisingly powerful systems with AI's help.
Q&A
Open floor — bring your questions.

About Me
Ben Miller-Hepburn
I work in the AI division of a large tech company, where I spend my days thinking about how these tools actually work and where they're headed.
I'm hosting this session because I keep having the same conversation with friends, family, and neighbors — people who are curious about AI but overwhelmed by the hype. I wanted to create the talk I wish existed: honest, practical, and jargon-free.
No sales pitch. No agenda beyond helping you feel more informed.
