# Your AI Setup, Actually Working: From Dabbling to Saving Real Time

by [Rafaela Buena](https://fde.amsterdam/communities/rafaela-buena)

## About this event

LLMs, agents, best practices

You've tried ChatGPT. Maybe Claude too. You got a few useful answers, some generic mush, and then life happened and you went back to doing everything yourself. You're not behind. You just never had a setup that fits how you actually work.

In this two-hour practical masterclass, we fix that. I'll map the AI tools worth your attention right now, explain what an AI agent actually is with real examples from small businesses, and then we turn it all onto your work.

What we'll do together

Map the tools simply: what each one is good for, and which ones you can safely ignore

Agents in plain language: what they are, what they do in a real business, and whether you need one yet
