How the session works
I keep each cohort strictly limited to 12 people at most to ensure that I can give focused attention to each attendde and that it stays deeply practical.
When you register, you will submit one specific AI bottleneck your business is currently facing. I review every single submission before we log on.
During the 90 minutes, I will open up private unrecorded breakout rooms where we can roll up our sleeves and look at these challenges in real time. You will leave with actionable next steps.
You don’t need to be technical. You just need to bring the problem and have the right mentality.
Why “help, not replace”
Most small businesses don’t need fewer people. They need their people to spend less time on repetitive work and more time on the work that matters. I’ll show you how to choose the first tasks to hand to AI, keep a person in charge of the result, and avoid putting your business data at risk.
About me
I’m Sri Nair. I started Mustard Seed IT in 2015, and I’ve worked in IT for over 25 years. I’ve also taught business technology at university level since 2015. I work with small businesses on Microsoft 365, security and practical technology decisions. I’ll give you straight answers, including “you don’t need AI for that”.
About the recording
I record my presentation and the Q&A so I can share it with attendees afterwards and improve the session. I may also share short clips publicly later. Attendees aren’t recorded. Cameras and microphones stay off while the recording runs, questions come through the chat, and I read them out without names.
FAQ
Do I need to know anything about AI?
No. The session is in plain English and starts from what you already use.
Is this a sales pitch?
No. You’ll get practical direction you can use straight away. If you want to talk to me afterwards, you’ll know where to find me.
Why is this paid, not free?
Because this is a small, highly practical workshop focused on real business problems, not a sales pitch pretending to be something more. A paid seat ensures that everyone who joins is a committed decision-maker ready to engage. I have priced this inaugural session at a lower pilot rate because I want to gather feedback and case studies before launching full-priced cohorts in 2027. If you want more help afterwards, you can book a private follow-up.
What should I bring?
One real problem from your business, which you enter when you register. Please leave out client names, personal details and anything confidential.
Will I be on the recording?
No. Only my voice and screen are recorded. See “About the recording” above.
What do I get afterwards?
A one-page follow-up note with the checklist, the key points and pointers on the problems people brought. You’ll get it within two business days. Want help with your own setup afterwards? You can book a private follow-up.
What if I can’t make it after registering?
Email [email protected] and I’ll offer your seat to someone else. Full refund up to 48 hours before the session. After that, I can move you to a later session.
Are prices shown with GST?
The price is shown plus GST and the total you pay.
