SUMMARY:RBTC's AI Decoded
DESCRIPTION:If you’ve experimented with AI but haven’t gotten much further than writing emails\, this is for you!  In this talk\, JP Azevedo breaks down Claude Code\, the tool he uses to run his entire studio\, in plain language\, no technical background required. This isn’t a talk about where AI is headed or what it might do someday. It’s a practical look at what you can start doing now. You’ll leave with a clear picture of what’s actually possible for a business your size\, what’s hype\, and concrete first steps you can take that same week. \nThis session welcomes all experience levels. If you’re AI-curious or already building with artificial intelligence tools\, you’ll find something useful here.  \n\n\nAI Decoded is RBTC’s recurring conversation about artificial intelligence. Each session tackles a different angle\, from beginner-friendly intros to more advanced\, business-focused deep dives. \nYou do not need to be an RBTC member to attend. AI Decoded is open to everyone; the curious\, the skeptical\, and the already-tinkering.  \n\n \nREGISTER NOW
