Start with your businessTalk through what you need↗For owners who want their employees to use AI confidently and responsibly, with training shaped around the work rather than a generic tour of features.
Give training a job to do.
Choose what your team should be able to do afterwards: prepare a better first draft, review a report, organize information or handle a repeatable task. Agree on appropriate examples and a way to check the result before choosing the tools or session format.
Team foundations
Practise giving clear instructions, supplying relevant context and checking the response.
Role-specific workshops
Work through examples from marketing, sales or administration, matched to the people and information involved.
What practical AI training can cover.
Content and pace are scoped to the group. ChatGPT or other suitable tools can be used where they fit the task and your organization’s access arrangements.
Briefing the tool
Define the audience, purpose, source material and output format. Improve a weak result by improving the brief.
Checking the work
Distinguish a useful draft from something ready to send. Check sources, calculations and claims that affect a customer or decision.
Information boundaries
Use approved material and understand what should not be entered into a tool. Follow your organization’s policies and access rules.
Repeatable working habits
Document useful instructions and review steps so a successful exercise can become a consistent way of working.
Connect a workshop to adoption.
A session is a starting point. Identify who will support the team, what examples they will practise and how the work will be reviewed afterwards. Any follow-up coaching, workflow changes or implementation support is agreed as part of the scope.
Prepare a session around your team.
Tell us who will attend, their experience, the tools they can access and the tasks you want to improve. We will discuss learning objectives, examples, format and delivery responsibilities. Group size, preparation and follow-up influence the scope and fee.

Questions about AI training.
Who is the training for?
Business owners, managers and employees who want to apply AI to their day-to-day work. We agree on the audience and starting level so the session fits the people attending.
Do you provide ChatGPT training?
ChatGPT can be included when it is suitable for the group’s tasks and access arrangements. The emphasis is on useful working habits and review, not memorizing one product’s current interface.
Is this technical model training?
No. This page describes training people to use AI in business. It is not an offer to train foundation models or provide a machine-learning qualification.
Can you train staff while I focus on running the business?
Yes. An owner or manager helps define the objectives and identifies an internal contact. The agreed training can focus on the team members who will use the tools.
Is a workshop enough to automate a process?
Not usually. Training helps people use and assess the tools. Production automation can require separate process design, integrations, testing and operating ownership. We can scope that work when it is useful.
Is training available in Ottawa and elsewhere in Canada?
Salient AI is based in Ottawa and works across Canada. Remote or in-person arrangements, availability and delivery format are confirmed for the engagement.
