We'll start with the fundamentals: what's the real difference between LLMs, GenAI, and Agentic AI, and which tool fits which business challenge. Then we move beyond theory to see AI in action through live demos—from policy document analysis that answers questions instantly, to automated report quality checking, to performance data validation that catches errors before they cost you, plus hands-on exploration of low-code AI solutions using Microsoft Power Platform, Databricks, and Posit.
Walk away with working examples, actionable implementation roadmaps, and the confidence to move from "a lot of talk but not much fruition" to measurable results.
