PÕLVA – Practical workshop: AI in office work

Friday afternoon: 40 emails in the inbox, and yesterday's meeting summary is needed by morning. How much of that could AI do? The workshop is for anyone who writes letters, drafts documents, fills in tables or plans work, from assistants to managers. The level is basic, suitable for beginners.

The format is 3 hours (4 academic hours) in two parts with a break. Part one covers how AI works, where it saves time, and data protection and responsibility. Part two is practical: you turn meeting notes into a draft of the minutes and check the result.

After the workshop you will be able to write a prompt that gives a usable draft; turn notes into minutes and a long document into a short summary; compose a reply to a letter and adjust its tone; and use AI to build a table or work plan.

Before the workshop, bring one real work task (for example meeting notes) without personal data. Bring a laptop or smartphone; the free versions of ChatGPT, Copilot or Gemini are enough. Trainer Julian Kaljuvee is an AI engineer who has delivered AI projects for international companies, including in energy and finance; co-founder of EstoniAI Meetup; studied economics, applied mathematics and computer science at Harvard.

Free; places are limited, register via Fienta. Part of Arunädal and the Eesti.ai initiative "The most AI-smart nation".
