We'll open with a grounded overview of what AI actually is (and what it isn't), cutting through the hype to give you a clear-eyed understanding of where the technology stands today. From there, we'll walk through Claude's core tools and capabilities, and dive into the art of prompt engineering — including how to iterate and refine your prompts to get consistently useful results.
The session also covers tips tailored specifically for those who are new to using Claude and AI to assist with their day to day work, so you can start applying Claude in ways that fit your work right away. We'll bring these concepts to life through real-world examples drawn from our own experience, including how Claude has been used to build dashboards, streamline processes, develop training programs, and create plugins.
Finally, because responsible AI use matters, we'll close with practical guidance on how to identify and avoid bias in AI-generated content — and how to validate Claude's output so you can trust what you're working with.
Whether you're brand new to AI or looking to use Claude more confidently and intentionally, this session will give you the foundation you need.
