Last week, we held "AI Without the Overwhelm," an hour with Mazin Salim and Mishahal Palakuniyil of MM Intelligence, an AI company right here in Montgomery, demystifying what AI really is and how you can start using it for your business.

Business owners walked in thinking they weren't technical enough. Walked out with a formula and a plan to start growing their businesses with AI.

But there's more! Part two is tomorrow.

Last night, a room full of Montgomery business owners got their practical start with AI.

Now comes Part II.

Hand It Off: Putting AI Agents to Work moves past one-off prompts. AI agents can complete multi-step tasks, take repetitive work off your plate, and support the processes your business already runs on.

What we will work on:
- What AI agents are, and what they can actually do
- Identifying repetitive tasks worth automating
- Mapping your current business processes
- Building smarter AI-assisted workflows
- Exploring agentic tools for your business
