Intellegix AI Tools Crash Course - San Diego

FORMAT: This session is in person at 2030 Gillespie Way, Unit 106, El Cajon, CA. For everyday people at any level -- curious beginners, students, parents, career changers, retirees, people who work for someone else, people who work for themselves. Zero technical background needed and no prior AI experience required. WHAT YOU'LL LEAVE ABLE TO DO: Use a free AI tool (ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude) to handle one real thing in your own life or work -- write a difficult email, plan something, research a decision, learn a new subject, or sort out a pile of paperwork -- and know which free tool to start with and what it is actually good at. PREREQUISITES: None. Bring a laptop or a smartphone; a free ChatGPT or Gemini account helps but is not required in advance. AGENDA: 0:00-0:15 Welcome plus a plain-English orientation: what AI can and can't reliably do, and when not to trust it 0:15-0:35 Live demo: three real everyday tasks solved live 0:35-1:10 Hands-on practice: try one real task of your own with guidance 1:10-1:25 Show-and-tell and troubleshooting 1:25-1:30 Wrap-up plus a preview of our next session, Build Your First AI Workflow. Capacity: 15-25 attendees. Free to attend.

FORMAT: This session is in person at 2030 Gillespie Way, Unit 106, El Cajon, CA. For graduates of "AI Tools for Everyday People: Getting Started," or anyone already comfortable using ChatGPT or Gemini for basic tasks who wants something more repeatable. The $10 covers materials and keeps the room accessible while we build this group. WHAT YOU'LL LEAVE ABLE TO DO: Build one reusable AI workflow -- a saved prompt template or a simple custom assistant -- tied to something you actually do over and over. That might be a weekly summary, a study or language-practice routine, a meal-and-budget planner, a job-application helper, or an intake script for work. PREREQUISITES: The Getting Started session, or equivalent comfort with a chat-AI tool. Laptop required -- this session is build-heavy and not phone-friendly. AGENDA: 0:00-0:15 Recap plus goal-setting: each attendee names their one recurring task 0:15-0:45 Walkthrough: building a saved prompt template or a simple custom assistant 0:45-1:30 Guided build time with individual help 1:30-1:50 Share results and troubleshoot as a group 1:50-2:00 Wrap-up plus a preview of the coding track, AI-Assisted Coding for Non-Programmers. Capacity: 10-18 attendees. Price: $10.
