👩‍🏫 Facilitator: A K M Amanat Ullah

Topics:

Managing social media. Use AI to write post captions and suggest hashtags. Take one piece of content and adapt it for Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn instead of writing three separate posts. Generate simple graphics with AI image tools such as Canva and Gemini.

Email. Draft professional emails faster for replies, follow-ups, or initial reach out. Summarize long email threads so you can summarize and understand what are the requirements. Build reusable templates for the messages you send most often: inquiries, invoices, thank you.

To-do lists and productivity. Hand AI a messy list of everything on your plate and get back an organized plan sorted by urgency. Break a big goal (“launch my online store”) into actual steps you can work through day by day.

Managing your calendar. Use Calendars to find open slots, avoid double-booking, and block off time for focused work. Set reminders for deadlines so nothing slips through.

Marketing. Write product descriptions and ad copy without staring at a blank page. Come up with campaign ideas aimed at your local audience. Put together a simple email newsletter. Figure out who your target customers actually are using a few well-crafted prompts.

Translating content to English. Translate business materials (menus, flyers, product labels) into clear English. Check grammar and tone so everything reads professionally. Create bilingual (both English and a different language such as Chinese) social media posts for multilingual audiences.

Collecting news, ideas, and opportunities. Get AI to pull together summaries of industry trends. Search for local grants, events, and networking opportunities you might otherwise miss. Look into what competitors are doing or whether a new market is worth exploring.

Analyzing information and planning. Summarize customer feedback or survey responses to spot patterns. Compare pricing or supplier options side by side. Draft a simple business plan or pitch outline. Make sense of basic financial numbers without a spreadsheet headache.
