Inner West Startups + Tech: Learn and Build with AI | Balmain, Sydney

Bring your own business workflows to this practical AI workshop in Balmain for Inner West founders, small business owners and solo operators. Across two days, the focus is on mapping work, deciding where AI fits, and building automations in plain language rather than sitting through slides.

What you’ll work on

• Breaking your work into clear steps and identifying what AI should — and shouldn’t — handle
• Building at least two automations for your own business, without coding
• Creating a roadmap for future builds, including estimated time savings
• Setting up Claude privacy settings and personal rules for information you do not want AI to access

The workshop uses Claude, although the underlying skills are intended to carry across AI tools. No technical background is required.
