SUMMARY:Hands-On Workshop: Build Your Own Reusable AI System
DESCRIPTION:Most AI advice focuses on clever prompts. This workshop gives you a solid tool you will use again and again.\n\n\nAt this month’s Social Media Breakfast Houston\, Kami Huyse and Jennifer Texada will show you how to stop starting from scratch every time you sit down with AI. In the first half hour\, they’ll break down what a Smart Card is and why it turns scattered prompting into a repeatable system. \nThen it’s build time! \nYou’ll build one yourself\, live\, with guidance every step of the way. You’ll leave with a working Smart Card built for your own work\, ready to use right away with the AI tool of your choice. \nChoose to create a tool that will help you build your monthly newsletter\, proposals\, client reports\, a press release\, or something else you do regularly and would like a repeatable process to help with. \nThis session is hands-on. \nBring a laptop and an AI tool that lets you upload files\, such as ChatGPT\, Claude\, Gemini\, or Microsoft Copilot. We’ll walk through how to start a project on ChatGPT\, Claude\, or Gemini. Bring a real task you want AI to help with. \nWhat you will learn: \n\nHow to spot and create a repeatable process you can hand off to AI.\nWhat AI should do and what humans should keep control of.\nHow to organize your data and content so you aren’t trapped in one tool.\nWhy it’s worth creating a reusable Project\, GPT\, or Gem instead of starting over each time.\nWhen it makes sense to use the desktop version of your AI tool.\nHow to set up a project in ChatGPT\, Claude\, or Gemini so your Smart Card is ready to use.\n\n \nREGISTRATION \nSpace is limited. Please reserve your spot in advance so we can plan for breakfast and seating. \n \nSPEAKERS \nKami Watson Huyse\, APR\, Founder and CEO\, Zoetica Media \nKami Watson Huyse\, APR\, is founder and CEO of Zoetica Media and co-founder of the Social Media Breakfast of Houston.
