Practical AI, taught by real people.
Hands-on programs from the Division Technologies team - from relaxed community AI workshops to fractional technology leadership for growing businesses.
Two hands-on AI workshops.
No jargon, no hype - just practical sessions run by locals with 20+ years in tech. One for everyday life, one for your business.
AI for Everyday Life
You've heard about ChatGPT. This relaxed, hands-on session shows you what the fuss is about, and how AI can genuinely make life easier.
Chances are you already use it. When you ask Siri a question, get directions from Google Maps, or type a search into Google, that's AI at work. Tools like ChatGPT are just the next friendly step - you talk to them in plain English and they help you get things done.
- Try ChatGPT on your own phone or tablet, with help at your side
- Plan a trip, find a recipe or draft a letter in minutes
- Spot AI scams and protect yourself online
- Take home a simple printed guide
Bring your device and your questions. You can't break anything, we promise.
Seats limited to 20AI for Your Business
You've run your business for decades. You don't need theory, you need hours back. Watch AI draft a quote, a marketing post and a customer email live, then do it with your own business.
- One real task from your business automated on the day
- Your top time-saving AI opportunities, prioritised
- The ROI maths: hours saved by what your time is worth
- A clear next step, DIY or done-for-you
Limited to 10 owners so everyone gets hands-on help.
Limited to 10 ownersOr we'll build one around your people.
The two workshops above are the open sessions. Most of what we run is private: a room of your team, your board, your members or your cohort, and a session shaped around the questions they actually have.
Half day or two hours. Your office, a venue, or online. Australia-wide.

I enjoyed it. Especially, because I got to know what the right MVP looks like. Everyone has similar questions and that was nice to know too.
Thank you so much for last night's session. It was super helpful for me, who is in early stages. You were great and certainly motivating!
Great session on building MVPs with AI and managing the process of getting devs on board.
