Are You Spending Hours on Tasks AI Could Handle in Minutes?
Writing the same emails over and over? Manually formatting documents? Staring at spreadsheets trying to spot trends? AI assistants like Microsoft Copilot and Google Gemini can handle these repetitive tasks in seconds—but only if you know how to use them. Most Pocatello and Idaho Falls businesses have access to these AI tools right now but don't know they exist or how to put them to work.
Let us show you how to automate the busywork and focus on what actually grows your business.

How a Pocatello Remodeling Company Saved 10+ Hours Weekly with AI
Meet David, who runs a residential remodeling company here in Pocatello. His small team was spending massive amounts of time on administrative work:
45+ minutes per customer quote - Measuring, calculating materials, writing detailed proposals
Endless follow-up emails - Checking in with prospects, scheduling consultations, answering common questions
Project planning from scratch - Creating timelines, task lists, and crew schedules for every job
Proposal formatting - Making quotes and contracts look professional
Data buried in spreadsheets - Trying to figure out which services were most profitable
David had heard about AI tools like Copilot and Gemini but assumed they were complicated or expensive. He didn't realize they were already included with his Microsoft 365 and Google accounts.
What Changed After Learning AI Tools
After attending our Copilot and Gemini workshop, David's team started using AI for routine tasks:
Quote generation time dropped to 10 minutes - Copilot creates detailed proposals from basic project notes
Automated follow-up sequences - Gemini drafts personalized follow-up emails based on customer interactions
Project plans in 2 minutes - AI generates complete timelines with task breakdowns and crew assignments
Professional formatting automatically - Documents look polished without manual cleanup
Data insights in plain English - Ask AI "which services had the highest profit margin last quarter" and get instant answers
10+ hours saved weekly - Time previously spent on admin work now goes to customer service and business development
No new software purchases. No expensive consultants. Just practical training on AI tools his team already had access to through their existing subscriptions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to be tech-savvy to use Copilot and Gemini?
Not at all. If you can type in a search box, you can use AI assistants. We teach with plain language and real business examples. No technical jargon or coding required.
Are these tools really free, or will I need expensive subscriptions?
Both Microsoft Copilot and Google Gemini offer free versions with useful features. We'll show you what's available for free and help you understand when paid versions might make sense for your specific business needs. Many attendees find the free versions handle 80% of their needs.
I've tried AI tools before and got weird results. Will this actually be useful?
Yes! The difference is learning how to prompt AI effectively. Most people get poor results because they don't know how to ask the right questions. We'll teach you proven prompt techniques that generate actually useful output for business tasks.
Which tool is better - Copilot or Gemini?
They each have strengths for different tasks. Copilot integrates deeply with Microsoft apps (Word, Excel, Outlook), while Gemini works seamlessly with Google Workspace. We'll show you when to use each one and how to choose based on your existing tools.
Will you cover ChatGPT or other AI tools?
This workshop focuses specifically on Microsoft Copilot and Google Gemini because they integrate with the business tools most companies already use. If there's interest, we may offer a ChatGPT-focused workshop in the future.
Can I bring team members?
Absolutely! Teams that learn AI tools together implement them faster. Just make sure each person registers separately so we have enough space and materials.
Will I receive materials to reference after the workshop?
Yes. You'll get a resource guide with prompt templates, use case examples, and step-by-step instructions you can reference anytime. We also provide troubleshooting tips for common issues.
What if I don't have a Microsoft or Google account?
No problem! We'll help you set up free accounts during the workshop if needed. Just bring your laptop and we'll get you started.
Is this relevant for my specific industry?
AI tools work across all industries. We've trained medical offices, construction companies, law firms, retail stores, restaurants, nonprofits, and consultants. During the Q&A, you can ask about specific use cases for your industry.
