Get your tickets on Eventbrite: https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/1993880315698?aff=oddtdtcreator **Overview** Ready to automate β€” on your own terms? A full-day, hands-on build at WSTI, where you'll set up a Business AI OS on **Hermes** β€” the open-source AI agent you run yourself. Lunch + optional consultation included. \> ***"I want AI actually running my business β€” but on my terms: my data, my computer, my costs."*** Sound familiar? You're ready for the next step. You'll build a Business AI OS β€” the foundation that holds your business's context, memory and tool connections and powers every Agent that runs on it. By day's end you'll have assembled a Chief-of-Staff agent that triages a whole inbox into one dashboard, plus a content agent for social β€” on a real business scenario, on software that's yours to take home. **Why Hermes β€” what a rented AI tool can't give you** \- πŸ”“ **Hermes Agent.** Free & open-source. Take Hermes home and set up the same thing for your own business, on your own computer. \- πŸ”’ **Your data stays with you.** Hermes runs on your own machine and connects to your own accounts β€” your emails never sit on someone else's cloud. \- πŸ’Έ **Your model, your cost β€” your choice.** You're not locked to one paid provider: plug in a low-cost model, or an all-in subscription if you prefer. You control the bill. \- πŸ“± **It lives where you do.** Connect Hermes to WhatsApp and run your business from your phone β€” get the morning's inbox triage sent straight to you. **What You'll Walk Out With** * **A Business AI OS that knows your business** β€” its context, voice, prices and tools β€” running on Hermes, on a real scenario (the foundation everything else builds on) * **A Chief of Staff that runs your inbox for you** β€” a team of specialist agents that sort, draft and prioritise every email into one dashboard, and run themselves every morning on a schedule (drafts only β€” never sends without you) * **A content agent for the other direction** β€” it spots a happy-customer email and writes ready-to-post Instagram/Facebook content (inbound **and** outbound, one system) * **An optional free 30-minute AI consultation** to map your next step **Who This Is For** \- SME owners and founders who want automation without giving up cost control or data privacy \- Working professionals who want a self\-hosted\, no\-lock\-in setup they fully own \- Anyone curious how Western Sydney businesses are running on AI Agents **What to Expect** * **Background** β€” what a Business AI OS is, and why open-source + self-hosted matters for cost and privacy * **Demo** β€” a live Chief of Staff triaging a full inbox * **Hands-on all day** β€” install Hermes β†’ give it your business memory β†’ build an Operations Agent β†’ save it as a skill + schedule it β†’ build specialist sub-agents β†’ assemble a Chief of Staff β†’ extend it with content/social * **Lunch + networking** with other Western Sydney business owners, founders and builders * **Next steps** + your optional free consultation **FAQ** **What is a Business AI OS?** A personal AI operating system for your business β€” the layer that knows the business (context, memory) and connects to your own tools, so it can spawn the right Agent for any task. **What platform do you use?** Hermes β€” an open-source AI agent framework (by Nous Research) that runs on your own computer and works with any AI model. It's free, so you can take the exact setup home. **Where does my data go?** Hermes runs on the computer in front of you and connects to your own accounts β€” your data stays with you, not on someone else's cloud. **Can you set it up and run it for me?** Yes. If you'd rather not run it yourself, our 1-on-1 AI OS Build Support can set it up and maintain it on **your own private server** β€” a dedicated setup that stays yours, never a shared cloud. Ask at your free consultation. **Do I need to know AI or coding?** No coding β€” Hermes has a friendly desktop app. New to AI? An intro taster experience helps but isn't required. **Do I need a laptop?** No β€” WSTI provides one to make learning as smooth as possible. We prepare tools, licences, configurations, learning projects and materials beforehand for you. Bring your own if you'd like to take notes. **Is lunch included?** Yes. **Notice of Photography and Filming** By entering this event, you acknowledge that photography, audio, and video recording may occur. Your attendance constitutes your consent to be photographed, filmed, and/or recorded and to the release, publication, exhibition, or reproduction of such media for promotional purposes by Western Sydney Tech Innovators (WSTI).

AI Automation for Working Professionals: Practitioner

AI Automation for Working Professionals: Practitioner

Tue, Aug 18, 8:00 AM
From Western Sydney Tech Innovators
4.8

The professionals who get the most out of AI aren't using it as a smarter search engine, they've taught it their workflow. In this hands-on 201 workshop, you'll build reusable Claude "skills", connect the tools you already use, and automate the recurring tasks that eat your calendar. Less busywork. Better output. More time for the work that matters. **What You'll Do** * Turn a messy spreadsheet into a polished, presentable report in minutes, that frustrating kind that usually eats your afternoon. * Build a reusable skill: your personalised workflow that Claude executes on demand without re-prompting. * Connect the tools you already use, calendar, social, messaging, so it helps where your work actually happens. * Set up a recurring digest or weekly summary that arrives without you lifting a finger. **You'll Walk Out With** * A polished work output created during the session. * A reusable workflow you can apply again. * A stronger understanding of how AI can reduce repetitive work. * More confidence turning information into useful business outputs. * A practical next step toward automation. **Who This Is For** * Working professionals who deal with reports, admin, documents or research. * Consultants and freelancers who want to produce better outputs faster. * Founders and operators who want to streamline repeat work. * People who have tried AI and want to use it more systematically. * Anyone with basic AI experience who wants to move from prompting to a Claude Code based workflow design. * 101 is helpful, but not required. You can drop into 201 directly if you already have basic confidence using AI tools. **Event Details** **πŸ“… Tuesday 18 Aug 2026** **πŸ•• 6:00–8:30 PM** **πŸ“ Western Sydney Startup Hub, 5 Fleet Street, North Parramatta** **🎯 Level 201 Β· Intermediate Β· Basic AI familiarity helpful** **Tickets** **$29 per session ($19 for Early-Bird).** No prerequisite, each session stands alone. Attending all three gives you the full arc from setup to full autonomous workflows. **Included:** * Laptop access during the workshop & Claude and AI access ready to use (Worth $20). * Guided hands-on exercises. * Practical examples for real work. * Support from the WSTI team. * Bring your own laptop and Claude Pro licence if you prefer, but you do not need to. Less admin chaos. More workflow magic. More time for the work that lights you up. Grab your ticket and walk out with a reusable AI workflow you can put to work the very next day ✨ **Conditions of Attendance** The event sessions are for learning and professional development. They are not for seeking out new clients or recruiting talent. **Notice of Photography and Filming** By entering this event, you acknowledge that photography, audio, and video recording may occur. Your attendance constitutes your consent to be photographed, filmed, and/or recorded and to the release, publication, exhibition, or reproduction of such media for promotional purposes by Western Sydney Tech Innovators (WSTI).
