The AI Working Lunch · Wolverhampton
See AI transform a business in 40 minutes.
Then walk away with a 1-page AI plan built for yours.
A half-day working lunch for Wolverhampton business owners. No jargon, no hype, no death-by-theory — you watch AI do real work, live, in front of you. Then the honest, practical roadmap to do the same in your business.
Registering is free and just picks your session — £199 tickets (20 a session) are released to the waitlist first, so there's no surprise invoice.
You've heard the hype
Now see the proof.
Every week there's another headline about AI transforming business. But if you run a real business — with real customers, real staff and real invoices — you've probably got a fair question: "What would it actually do for me?"
The AI Working Lunch answers that the only honest way: by showing you, live. In one afternoon you'll watch AI build a complete business operation — marketing, finance, HR, customer service, admin — in 40 minutes. Then we show you exactly how to apply it to yours.
The Live AI Showcase
A full week of back-office work — marketing, HR, finance, admin — done live in 40 minutes.
A full marketing campaign
Messaging, posts and a plan — drafted in minutes, not weeks.
Financial forecasts
Built from a blank page, ready to sanity-check.
HR policies & SOPs
Contracts, handbooks and the processes nobody enjoys writing.
Customer service replies
The emails and responses your team writes over and over.
Admin & workflows
The repetitive back-office work that quietly eats your week.
Then: your turn
How to point the exact same approach at your business.
No recording. No hype. Real work, live in front of you — and you leave with a plan you can act on.
How the day runs
The main event comes early.
Here's the daytime running order (10:30am–2:30pm) — the evening session runs the same shape after hours. You get the live showcase up front, then lunch, networking and straight answers.

Is it for you?
Built for working businesses, not tech departments.
This is for you if…
- You own or run an SME and keep meaning to "look into AI".
- You're curious but sceptical — good, this was built for you.
- You've dabbled with ChatGPT and suspect you're using 2% of what's possible.
- AI feels like it's moving fast — and you've no time to waste testing 50 different apps.
It's not for you if…
- You want a theoretical lecture on large language models. This is a working session for working businesses.
- You're after a free "intro to AI". This is a paid, focused afternoon for owners who mean business.
Insightful AI is a Community Interest Company. Our mission is helping local businesses understand and benefit from AI — not selling you software you don't need.

The questions we get most.
Is this actually relevant to a business like mine?
Do I need to be techy or bring anything?
What's included in the £199?
Why only 20 seats?
Why am I choosing a day?
Where is it, and is there parking?
I've got dietary requirements — is that covered?
What's your refund policy?
