Register here or copy and paste the URL below to set up your free account.\n\n\n\nhttps://digitalready.verizonwireless.com/partner-nglcc-ny\n\n \n"The goal of AI isn't to create more content\; it's to create more time." If your experience with AI so far feels like managing a high-maintenance intern constantly checking its facts\, rewriting its generic emails\, and spending more time "prompting" than producing you are suffering from The AI Efficiency Gap. Most small businesses are layering AI on top of broken processes\, creating more work instead of less. This webinar is a hard-reset on your AI strategy. We're moving away from "chatting" with bots and moving toward building automated systems that actually move the needle.\n\n \n\nLoralyn Mears\, PhD is a social entrepreneur inspired by acts of kindness.

Along the way\, she's launched dozens of products\, startups\, and Centers of Excellence.
