Build Your Own AI-Powered Personal Assistant with Codex

AI tools are changing quickly, and many professionals are ready to move beyond basic chatbot use into practical, repeatable workflows that save time every week.

This session is designed for local professionals, small business owners, nonprofit leaders, and team members who want a practical introduction to using AI more effectively.
