Overview

Body

Join ACG St. Louis Emerging Leaders for an engaging and interactive Lunch & Learn featuring Ben Auton, Principal of SingleWave, as he demonstrates how AI is transforming the way professionals work, communicate, and make decisions. Excitement around AI is pervasive. But, moving from experimentation to meaningful, repeatable time savings is a huge challenge for many people and organizations. In a hands-on, one-hour session, Ben will unpack some key strategies for getting the best output from your AI prompts. With a session focused on Claude chats and co-work, we’ll go through real examples of time-saving AI strategies. We will also cover some of the risks and pitfalls of leveraging AI and how to detect hallucinations. The session is designed to give you practical ideas you can begin applying immediately, regardless of your technical background.

This Young Professional's event is open to all ACG members age 35 and under. Help us grow our network!
