Should I take a course or a workshop?

What should I bring to an AI workshop?
A laptop, a charger, and one repetitive task you want to speed up, like writing quotes, answering common customer emails or planning social posts.
Which AI tools will I learn?
It depends on the host. Many sessions cover ChatGPT, Claude, Google Gemini or Microsoft Copilot. The listing summary usually says.
