Taster & Inspiration Session
A high-energy 90-minute introduction to what’s really possible with AI — demystifying the landscape, explaining the basics in human language, and leaving people with practical workflows they can use straight away.
Why this session exists
Most people didn’t sign up to become “AI experts”. They just want to know what is going on, whether they are behind, and how to use AI without breaking anything or feeling stupid. At the same time, AI is everywhere — in headlines, product updates and conversations with clients and colleagues.
Under the surface, you usually have a mix of feelings in the room: curiosity, excitement, anxiety, scepticism and a quiet sense of “I should probably know more than I do”. That is completely normal.
This Taster & Inspiration Session exists to meet people exactly there. We explain how AI is moving, the different types of AI and some simple basics — what an agent is, what reasoning means, how voice generation works and what is coming next — all in human language. We also show how AI is already shaping everyday consumer life and work today.
- A shared, plain-English understanding of what modern AI actually is and is not.
- Simple explanations of agents, reasoning, thinking and voice without the jargon.
- A feel for how AI is already impacting customers, culture and everyday behaviour.
- Immediate, low-friction ways people can start using AI in their own roles.
Session overview
| Segment | What we cover | How it feels | What people do | What they leave with |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AI landscape & basics | How AI is moving, different types of AI, and simple concepts like agents, reasoning, “thinking” and voice generation. A short look into what is coming next. | Calm, clear and human. People can ask anything without feeling judged. | React, ask questions and connect what they are hearing to their own world. | A grounded understanding of the space and language they can actually use. |
| Platforms & practical use | A focused look at the platform you use most (for example ChatGPT, Gemini or Claude) — how to talk to it, how to think about context and how to get better outputs. | Demonstrative and interactive. We show real prompts, real tasks and real results. | Try short exercises, see everyday workflows and experiment with voice instead of typing. | Practical tips, starter prompts and a feel for how AI can support their job tomorrow. |
| Confidence check & inspiration | A quick read on where the room is at in terms of confidence and experience, plus examples of how teams are already using AI in the moments that matter. | Encouraging and honest. People see that it is okay to be new to this. | Reflect on their own level, share experiences and name their worries and ideas. | A sense that they are not behind, just on their own step of the journey — and clear next moves. |
Where this sits in your AI maturity journey
We think about AI adoption as a journey that runs through curiosity, confidence and then culture. This 90-minute Taster is designed to be the spark — the moment people stop feeling lost and start feeling like they belong in the conversation.
| Where your people are now | What this session does |
|---|---|
|
“Curious but unsure” People have heard the headlines, maybe tried AI once or twice, but do not really know what they are doing. |
Gives them a simple, human foundation — what AI is, how to think about it and where to start without fear. |
|
“Anxious or sceptical” Some are worried about being replaced. Others are tired of the hype and do not see how it fits their role. |
Brings the temperature down. Shows practical, role-relevant examples and makes space for honest questions. |
|
“Ready for more” You have early adopters and champions who want to go beyond demos and into real making and workflow change. |
Aligns everyone on the basics and sets up the next step — often a deeper Live Workshop or Hackathon in the afternoon to turn inspiration into action. |
On its own, this session is designed to spark confidence and shared understanding. For teams who want to go further, it pairs naturally with a hands-on Punks of AI Live Workshop to create a full day of AI mischief, making and workflow redesign.
