AI is changing the way businesses work.
I’m exploring how AI can save time in our business right now.
Joining fellow Maroochydore Chamber members for The AI-First Class of 2026 - a free, hands-on morning designed to get me from AI-curious to AI-capable.
In just two hours, I’ve built a working AI assistant that takes one repetitive task off my plate. Working step-by-step using Claude on my laptop, with practical guidance throughout.
And this is just the beginning!
The session was the first of a five-month AI program valued at $5,000 and running through to January 2027. The program includes weekly online sessions and monthly clinics, giving me ongoing support to put AI to work across our business. The program is led by Bart Puszko of Blue Seas AI, a winner of the 2025 Sunshine Coast Business Awards and Queensland Government AI Mentor. Bart has taught more than 400 Sunshine Coast locals to use AI over the past 12 months.

-Automate one repetitive task in our business

-Join weekly online sessions and monthly clinics
