Overview

Most small business owners have tried ChatGPT, but only a few have turned it into something reliable. This course takes you beyond dabbling and into systematic use, with workflows you can reuse every week. We follow ‘Dottie Digital’ (a fictional small agency) across all six sessions, so every prompt and workflow has a real-world reference point.

What this course covers

  • Choosing the right ChatGPT plan (Business recommended)
  • Prompting like a pro using RTCCO, plus our AIFNT Promptomatic
  • A content engine that sounds like you: brand voice extraction, repurposing, image prompting
  • Building your AI workforce: Custom GPTs you actually use
  • Power features: Projects, Atlas and Connectors (and the honest take on which are ready)
  • Building a sales and lead-gen machine

What participants will need

  • A ChatGPT Business account recommended for the full course; Plus works but you’ll hit limits
  • A small business or self-employed setup
  • A few real work tasks you’d like to get help with
  • No technical background required

Who it’s for

  • Small business owners and entrepreneurs
  • Solopreneurs and consultants wanting practical outcomes, not theory
  • People who’ve tried ChatGPT but haven’t made it stick
  • Anyone wanting AI to support real work: planning, research, content, ops

By the end

  • Confident, systematic use of ChatGPT across your business
  • Your own AI workforce of Custom GPTs
  • A content engine that sounds like your brand, not generic AI
  • A working sales and lead-gen workflow
  • Clear judgement on when to use it, and when not to

Why TrainAI exists

TrainAI was built by Heather Murray – BBC and UK government AI advisor, regularly featured in Forbes, and founder of AI for Non-Techies.

After years of delivering AI training to organisations like Johnson & Johnson, GSK, Toyota, and the House of Lords, she kept hearing the same thing from other trainers: “I know AI matters, but I don’t have the time or the confidence to build courses from scratch.”
