Why Attend?

AI chipmaker Nvidia hit 8x in 2 years to become the world’s third most valuable company–beating Google, Amazon, and FaceBook–because executives are actually buying AI/LLM tech now. Sure, stock markets get frothy, but like the internet’s first years, business adoption rises steadily and irrespective of swings in blogger sentiment and stock prices. 

This rising LLM tide lifts all boats that sally forth on the LLM seas. 

Unlike previous tech revolutions, Large Language Models (LLMs) work by your verbal commands (ChatGPT’s name reflects origins in customer service chat bots). This verbal interface enables small businesses to benefit now, rather than wait for Fortune 500s’ table scraps.

What Does SALI Deliver?

In 4 parts, each SALI sessions enables you to use LLMs to lower costs or increase profit:

  1. Operational understanding of LLM tech. For example, you’ll learn how LLMs work like human brains but with a couple of crucial differences, so that common people skills translate to LLM success.
  2. Step-by-step instructions on setting up and using your $20/mo ChatGPT account. This pertains to other LLMs too. You’ll learn how to avoid “hallucinations” and inaccuracies, which mostly arise from poor setup and prompting.
  3. ROI analysis by which you foresee profit from various levels of LLM deployment. 
  4. Group wisdom via final open discussion, which continues in a forum in Living Local’s LocalPro platform where members share tips and insights.  

LLMs will evolve, but the fundamentals covered here align with LLMs’ foundational tech, so will remain sound until LLMs succeed in response to the prompt, “Plan and run a profitable business entirely yourself.” That’s decades from now–and SALI will explain why human business pros who use LLMs will prevail for the next decade.
