Pärnu – Practical Workshop: AI in Office Work

Friday afternoon: 40 emails in your inbox, and you need a summary of yesterday’s meeting by morning. How much of this could AI do? Who it’s for: anyone who writes emails, prepares documents, works with spreadsheets, or plans work—from assistants to managers. Level: beginner; suitable for newcomers. Format: 3 hours (4 academic hours), split into two parts, with a break in between. Part one: how AI works, where it saves time, data protection, and responsibility. Part two is hands-on: you’ll turn meeting notes into a draft of the minutes and check the result. After the workshop, you’ll be able to: write a prompt that produces a usable draft right away; turn notes into minutes and a long document into a short summary; draft a reply to an email and adjust its tone; use AI to create a spreadsheet or work plan. Before the workshop: bring one real work task (for example, meeting notes) with no personal data. Bring a laptop or smartphone; the free versions of tools such as ChatGPT, Copilot, and Gemini are sufficient. Trainer: Henrik Aavik is a pioneer of the internet economy with three decades of experience in e-commerce, e-government technologies, and AI. He leads the company Tendly and is the founder of uku.ai. Time and place: 19.11.2026, 18:00–21:00, Tervis ravispaahotell, Seedri 6, Pärnu. Participation is free; places are limited—register via Fienta! The workshop is part of Arunädal and the Eesti.ai initiative “Kõige AI-targem rahvas” (“The Most AI-Savvy Nation”).
