VALGA – AI in office work

A practical workshop for office workers who want to start using AI in their daily work for real. There is little theory and most of the time is spent doing: you leave with at least one tool already on your computer that you can use the very next day.

In the workshop: how an AI assistant works and what to use it for in office work; AI in common office software such as spreadsheets, documents and presentations; an example of analysing a large sales table and turning it into a board presentation in a few minutes; a hands-on exercise in which you build a simple assistant that takes over your repetitive work; and which work data may be shared with AI and which may not.

The format is a short introduction with examples, followed by practical exercises with the trainer. The workshop lasts 3 hours; after the formal part the trainer stays for about an hour to answer questions. The audience is office, administrative and clerical staff, assistants, specialists and small business owners. The level is applied: you should have used an AI chatbot at least once.

Bring a laptop. A few days before the workshop, registrants receive a short pre-questionnaire and instructions for setting up an AI account. Your ticket comes by e-mail as a QR code; please show it on arrival.

The trainer is Heigo Eesmaa of PragmatiqAI, a business development and partnerships manager with over 20 years of experience who works on putting AI into practice in companies. He has worked at Montonio, Bigbank and Swedbank, and helped bring a developer-oriented AI training programme to market as a partner. Part of Arunädal and the Eesti.ai initiative "The most AI-smart nation".
