Bellevue Empower Small Business with AI Meetup Group

The web is where most of our work happens — checking dashboards, filling forms, pulling reports, copying data between sites. AI can now drive a browser the same way you do, which opens up a lot of small, practical wins for everyday tasks.

We'll demo three tools that put this into your hands today:

Gemini in Chrome — built right into the browser. Side panel that reads your open tabs, compares across sites, and pulls from Gmail, Calendar, and Maps.

Claude Code with the --chrome flag — Claude drives your real Chrome session from the terminal, using your existing logins to complete multi-step jobs like pulling a report into a spreadsheet.

Axiom.ai — a no-code Chrome extension that lets you record clicks and turn them into a reusable bot.

We'll show real examples — pulling info off a website into a spreadsheet, filling out a repetitive form, gathering research across multiple tabs — and talk about where browser automation shines and where it still trips up.

If time allows, we'll also look at chaining browser automation with other AI tools so a single prompt can kick off a multi-step workflow.

Who is this for?
Business owners and professionals at any skill level. No coding experience needed — we'll walk through everything live and you can follow along on your own browser.

Building a deck from scratch is one of those tasks that always takes longer than you think. The good news: Claude now has an extension that plugs directly into PowerPoint, so you can go from a rough idea to a polished slide deck in minutes — without leaving the app.

In this session, we'll walk through the new Claude extension for PowerPoint and show how to use it in real-world scenarios — pitch decks, training materials, client presentations, and quick internal updates.

We'll look at a few different approaches:

Starting from a prompt — describe the deck you want and let Claude draft the structure, slide titles, and talking points

Building from existing content — turn a document, notes, or a transcript into a clean presentation

Editing and refining — use Claude to rewrite slides, tighten language, suggest visuals, and keep your tone consistent across the deck

If time allows, we'll also look at how to combine the PowerPoint extension with other Claude workflows — pulling in research, summarizing source material, or generating speaker notes that match each slide.

Who is this for?
Business owners, consultants, and anyone who builds presentations as part of their work. No technical background needed — we'll walk through everything live and you can follow along in your own copy of PowerPoint.
