Practical AI
90 minutesFrom £595UK-wide

Give us a problem. We'll build the solution while you watch.

The fastest way to find out what AI can actually do for your organisation: we take a real problem from someone in the room and build a working tool in front of everyone, in under twenty minutes.

What it is

A demo you can't fake.

Slides are easy to make and easy to disbelieve. It's very difficult to fake building a working application live, in front of thirty people, from a problem you'd never heard of ninety seconds earlier.

That's the whole point of this session. By the time it ends, nobody in the room is wondering whether AI can do anything useful. They're wondering what they'd build first.

How the ninety minutes go

Run of show.

  1. 0–10

    Why most AI training doesn't work

    The only slides you'll see. Ten minutes, then they're gone.

  2. 10–20

    Here's one we made earlier

    A real product built for a real client in five minutes. We show you the finished thing, then the clock it was built against.

  3. 20–25

    Your turn

    We ask the room one question: what's something you or your team do manually every week that you hate? Someone answers. We shape it into a build in about three minutes.

  4. 25–45

    The build

    Screen up, timer running, everything narrated. Including the bits that go wrong, because those are the instructive bits.

  5. 45–55

    It works, and it's yours

    Whoever gave us the problem walks away owning it.

  6. 55–70

    The honest part

    Everything standing between what you just watched and something you'd put your business on. This is the section people remember.

  7. 70–85

    What a full day looks like

    When twenty people do that at once.

  8. 85–90

    Questions

    And who wants theirs built next.

The honest part

We'll show you what's wrong with our own work.

Every AI demo you've ever seen stopped at the moment it worked. Ours doesn't.

When the build is finished we go back through it and show you what's missing: where the form data actually goes, why Google can't see the site, what the browser tab says, whether those images are legally yours to use, and what happens the first time a bot finds your contact form.

None of it is unsolvable. None of it was solved in twenty minutes. Knowing which of those two things you're looking at is the most useful thing you'll take away.

Who books it

Made for rooms, not desks.

Membership organisations

Give members a session that gets talked about in the WhatsApp group afterwards.

Networking groups

A guest slot that isn't another pitch from the back of the room.

Leadership teams

Ninety minutes to get everyone seeing the same thing before you commit budget.

Conferences

A keynote slot that ends with something built rather than something promised.

The investment

From £595.

Plus VAT and travel. Up to 30 people. Delivered in person across the UK, or online.

Most groups who book a Reality Check book a Foundations day or a hackathon within six months. If you go on to book, we take the £595 off.
