Live AI Teardown: Bring Your Worst Workflow

Bring the task you hate most and watch it get automated on stage — live, unrehearsed, on real work.

About This Session

Open mic: describe the task you hate most and watch it get automated on stage — live, unrehearsed, on real work.

What We'll Cover

  • Volunteer workflows automated live, no rehearsal
  • How to break a hated task into automatable steps
  • What gets solved in an hour — and what honestly doesn't

You Leave With

One audience workflow, automated on stage

Who Should Attend

Anyone with a workflow they dread — from any track. Bring the task you hate most: the weekly report you rebuild by hand, the quote that takes three systems to assemble, the inbox ritual that eats your morning. Volunteers describe it on stage; the room watches it get automated, unrehearsed.

Part of a Full Day of Hands-On AI Training

This workshop is one of 20 at the AI Business Retreat — a one-day, hands-on AI training for business at The Island in Spooner, Wisconsin, within driving distance of Minneapolis–St. Paul, Eau Claire, La Crosse, Duluth, and Hudson. Can't make the drive? Every session, including this one, streams live for remote attendees.

Presenters and final session materials are being finalized and will be announced closer to the retreat.

Live AI Teardown: Bring Your Worst Workflow — Questions & Answers

The best candidates are repetitive, rule-shaped tasks that touch data: assembling reports from multiple systems, drafting follow-up emails, summarizing documents, moving information between tools, and preparing quotes or paperwork. The teardown session takes real attendee workflows and automates them on stage — and is honest about the ones an hour can't finish, because those show where the real work lives.
No — watching is completely fine, and most of the room does exactly that. But volunteers get the best deal at the retreat: the task they hate most gets torn apart and automated in front of them, on real work, with the whole method visible.
