DESCRIPTION:

What if the tool you're dabbling with was capable of ten times what you're asking it to do? Most business owners use AI as a chatbot, not a system. In this fundamentals-focused talk, great for all levels, Kalyca tells the story of learning to fully leverage Claude, moving past surface-level chat and building it into a real operating system for her business. She walks the audience through models, projects, connecting tools, building skills, and scheduling work to run itself.

Audiences walk away with a fundamentals-level understanding of what Claude can actually do and a clear, tangible next step toward building their own system. Because the real shift isn't better prompts. It's a business that keeps growing while you focus on the work only you can do.

Build AI's Second Brain: Google's Open Knowledge Format

Location: Biltmore

Speaker: Kyle Chalmers

Data AI practitioner, 10+ years in data, and host of the Kyle Chalmers Data + AI Channel.

LinkedIn-Profile

DESCRIPTION:

Most of us feed AI the same way every time: paste in some context, hope it lands, start over tomorrow. Kyle Chalmers is back at the Workuity AI Exchange with a better way.

This session is built around Google's Open Knowledge Format, a new open standard for giving AI agents a real second brain. You'll see how to collect what your

business knows into a format your AI can actually use, how to keep that knowledge current instead of letting it go stale, and how to pull the useful parts out of long content like YouTube videos. With that second brain in place, your AI carries context you've built over time, understands how you work, and gets more out of every request.

Kyle is Founder and Tech Lead of KC AI Labs, with more than ten years in data.

Free to attend, lunch on us.

Friday, October 16, 6:00 PM through Sunday, October 18, 4:00 PM.

Location: Biltmore

Free, teams of one to four.

Claude In Your Corner: Put AI to Work Across Every Part of Your Business

Time: 12:00–1:30 PM AZ

Location: Biltmore

Most business owners have tried AI and walked away frustrated — not because the tool failed, but because nobody showed them how to actually set it up. This session fixes that permanently.


Whether you've never opened Claude or you use it every single day, Session 3 meets you where you are. If you're newer to Claude, you'll leave with a complete, working setup and the confidence to actually use it. If you're already a regular user, you'll close gaps you didn't know you had and unlock capabilities most people never discover.


In the first half, we get you fully configured. That means activating Claude directly inside Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint — so you can analyze data, draft presentations, and automate formatting without ever leaving the apps your team already lives in. We'll walk through the full Claude interface, help you choose the right model for the right job, and show you exactly how to plug it into the applications your business already runs on.

In the second half, we get personal. You'll set up Projects and custom Skills built specifically around your company — your brand voice, your customer language, your internal workflows. You'll load your company's actual information directly into Claude so it understands your business, not just your question.

What You'll Gain:

  • Claude running live inside Excel and PowerPoint, ready for your next meeting

  • A project configured with your company's real context and information

  • Custom Skills that reflect your brand voice, tone, and workflows

  • A repeatable daily system for using Claude to accelerate your work — starting the moment you leave the room

  • A repeatable daily system for using Claude to accelerate your work — starting the moment you leave the room

Best For: Anyone who wants AI that actually works for their business — whether you're just getting started or you've been using Claude for months and want to finally get it set up the right way.
