OpenAI has partnered with Booking.com to launch a free virtual workshop series called the SME AI Accelerator, aimed at helping small and medium-sized enterprise owners understand how to use ChatGPT to simplify their daily work. This series of one-hour workshops is suitable for participants without a technical background, covering topics such as the basics of prompts, building business workflows, and practical applications in marketing, customer service, and operations.

Human-Machine Collaboration

In the workshops, participants will learn how to use ChatGPT to complete daily business tasks, such as writing marketing copy, customer messages, and operational processes. The course will guide you step by step on how to build a workflow that can be immediately applied to your own business. To make it easier to understand, the workshops use real case studies tailored to specific types of businesses, such as restaurants, stores, service providers, and online sellers. For example, a coffee shop owner can create a plan for daily specials and write social media posts; while a beauty salon owner can create a customer follow-up message assistant.

The SME AI Accelerator program is part of a broader initiative by the OpenAI Academy. The collaboration with Booking.com has made this series of workshops possible. Rajan Patel, a solutions engineer from OpenAI, shared the news on LinkedIn, saying that being able to help people take their first step in interacting with AI is a "true privilege." He emphasized that these courses are specifically designed for small business owners and operators who want to save time, reach more customers, and gain practical value from AI.

Registration is free for all small businesses, aiming to provide business leaders who may have already used ChatGPT tools but have not yet established a stable workflow with a quick and convenient way to get started with AI skills.
