Coffee & AI @ Cafe Arts: No Tech Skills Required

You've heard about AI. Maybe you've played with it a little. But you're not sure it's really for you — or whether you're missing something big.
That's exactly why I started this group.
I'm Rudy Poe — Emmy-winning filmmaker, serial entrepreneur, and Sarasota local. I have a genuine passion for one thing: making sure curious, experienced people don't get left behind by the AI revolution. That knowledge gap is real, and closing it is my mission.
Spoiler alert — it's easier than you think.
Coffee & AI is a casual conversation for non-technical people who want to understand what AI can actually do in everyday life. No laptops required. No jargon. Just coffee, good conversation, and a few genuine "I didn't know it could do THAT" moments.
I put the human first. You're the one with the wisdom, the experience, and the judgment. AI is just an extraordinary tool — and I'm going to show you how and why you will want to use it.
We will be meeting at a brand new venue for us, CafeArts, from 12 to 1pm. The only requirement is to bring your curiosity and a few bucks to purchase a beverage from our lovely host venue as appreciation for opening their space to us. Bring a friend. Bring your questions.
No selling. No pressure. No tech background needed. Just honest conversation about the most life changing tool any of us has ever had access to.
