AI Lab by Goodera: Coaching Bengaluru's Nonprofits on AI

Join us for a hands-on lab where nonprofit teams in Bengaluru will learn to leverage AI for their everyday tasks! 🤖✨

What to Expect

• Structured Working Session: This is not a talk or mixer. You'll be paired with 1-2 nonprofit team members (2 mentors per builder-in-training) to coach them through two builds:
  • Prompt School: Engage in hands-on challenges using Claude, centered around a simple, durable prompting framework they'll continue to use.
  • Build with AI: Guide them in creating something tangible for their organization, such as a custom AI app, an agent, or a workflow automation.

One Rule

• Coach, Don't Drive: The nonprofit team does the typing, thinking, and deciding. Your role is to ask the right questions and help unblock their progress.

Who It's For

• Builders, operators, and founders who are adept at using AI in daily tasks like writing, research, analysis, and automation. You don’t need to be an ML engineer; if AI tools are part of your daily workflow, you’re the right fit!

What You'll Leave With

• The rewarding experience of seeing someone use an AI tool for the first time and walk away with something they built themselves.
• Insight into how Bengaluru's nonprofit sector operates.
• Connections with fellow builders and operators focused on advancing the city's AI ambitions outward.

• ⏰ Time: 10:30 AM - 2:00 PM (mentor briefing at 10:30 AM — please be punctual)
