Course Description: AI Learning Lab: Everyday Productivity - Email, Writing and Admin Tasks

AI Learning Labs are 90-minute, hands-on mini sessions designed for working professionals wanting practical wins with AI at work. Each lab includes a short guided demo followed by open lab time, where you'll experiment with AI tools using proof-of-concept examples based on your real tasks such as writing emails, improving a document, or creating simple marketing content. Every lab is stand-alone and highly practical. 

These labs are best suited for individuals who have tried AI tools at least once (even informally) or completed a short AI Essentials course - but beginners are welcome. A brief pre-workshop readiness checklist will help you set up free accounts and confirm you can log in before the session begins-so we spend our time applying AI, not signing up for tools.

You'll leave with working drafts, early versions, and practical starts - not necessarily a polished final product. The goal is to get you confident using AI so you can continue improving your work after the session.


Lab Focus & Tools:

This lab focuses on everyday productivity tasks-email, writing, and administrative work using ChatGPT (free and paid versions), Google Workspace AI features, and Microsoft Copilot.

Hands-On Practice Includes:

  • Drafting and improving a professional email
  • Creating a clear meeting agenda from rough notes
  • Simplifying or restructuring a long or messy document

Participants practice using AI as a drafting, editing, and clarity tool-learning how to give better instructions, refine outputs, and adapt results to their own voice and context.
