All sessions by Rory →This session gives participants a practical and up-to-date foundation for using generative AI well, with a focus on how it can support both creativity and productivity. Rory starts by explaining what these models are (LLMs), what they can and cannot do, where they go wrong, and how to interact with them in ways that make them genuinely useful.
The session is designed to help a broad audience build the intuition needed to understand how generative AI works in practice. It includes short, interactive demonstrations of multiple tools that are relevant for everyday use.
Participants learn how to get better results, avoid the most common mistakes, and develop a stronger feel for how to work with tools like ChatGPT, Copilot, and Perplexity.
Rory also shows how this understanding can scale from simple day-to-day use to more advanced ways of working, including stronger prompting, clearer instructions, and reusable structures. The session briefly explores prompt culture, looking at how AI-generated content can make a consumer feel and how to adjust outputs so they feel more natural and less recognisable as AI-assisted.
During the expert session, Rory Tol invites participants to share their biggest bottlenecks in using AI. These are identified, unpacked, and explained live, so participants can better understand where mistakes happen and how to avoid them.
The session also includes practical examples, demonstrations, and group reflection on what people are currently doing with AI in their daily work. Participants learn which strategies lead to better results, which habits create weak or unprofessional outputs, and how to use AI more effectively for the kinds of use cases they actually care about.
Special attention is given to the way people phrase prompts, use voice dictation for speed, and unintentionally copy AI-style language into communication with colleagues or clients. This makes the session highly practical, recognisable, and immediately applicable.
Learn what generative AI is, what it can and cannot do, where it goes wrong, and which core strategies help you use it well in everyday work.
Discover how to interact with AI more effectively, avoid common bottlenecks and misunderstandings, and produce outputs that are more useful, accurate, and professional.
Understand how simple chat-based AI use connects to stronger workflows, reusable instructions, and more advanced AI-supported ways of working.
Generative AI is moving fast, but many people still lack a clear and practical understanding of how to use it well. This session gives participants that foundation by explaining what these models are, how they work in practice, and how to interact with them more effectively.
Rory introduces the core habits that improve AI use immediately, including better prompting, clearer instructions, recognising weak output, and avoiding the most common mistakes people make when working with AI. Participants also share their biggest bottlenecks, which are used as live examples to explain what goes wrong and how to improve.
The session also shows how these fundamentals connect to the bigger picture. Participants gain a practical overview of the current AI landscape, the most useful tools for daily work, and how simple chat-based use can grow into more advanced workflows, reusable structures, autonomous agents and AI-automated systems.
No prior knowledge is assumed. It is built for a general working audience, and people who already know the subject get the research and the practical side rather than an introduction.

Rory Tol is one of the experts we auditioned ourselves, and we produce every session so we see how each one lands. Participants rate this session 4.3 out of 5, across 532 responses, and rate Rory personally 4.5 out of 5.
It is interactive, and the block higher up on this page says exactly how for this session. Nobody has to speak up who does not want to: the chat and the polls carry most of it, and the questions can come in anonymously.
It runs 45 min / 15 min: the talk, then live questions. All you do is pick a date. We brief Rory, produce the session, host and moderate it, run the Q&A, and send you the report within an hour of the end.
A team, a department, an employee network or every single employee at once, with no cap and no per-seat price. It runs inside your own Microsoft Teams, Zoom or Google Meet, or on a branded page we build. No integration, no login, no company device or e-mail.
The session is delivered in English, Dutch. You can add high accuracy live subtitles in 8, 16 or 24 languages, so everyone follows in their own. That is a paid option, priced by the number of languages you need.
No, and that is by design. There is nothing to install, nothing to integrate and no connection to your systems, so there is nothing for IT to validate: we join your own Teams, Zoom or Meet as a guest speaker, or we host a page and your people open a link. No software, no accounts, and no data of yours that we can reach. It is why hundreds of companies, among them some of the largest technology and financial firms in the world, were able to start within a day.
We never receive or hold personal data about your employees. Because the session runs in your own environment, attendance and identity stay with you, and what we report back is aggregated: numbers, ratings and survey answers, not people. That is also why IT approval usually takes minutes rather than weeks.
You keep the recording and can share it internally. You also get attendance over time, participant ratings for the content and the speaker, the survey answers, and the topics your people asked for next.
At this point, the integration of AI in the workplace seems inevitable as many professionals are using it daily.
