Verizon Small Business Digital Ready Workshop Series: AI-Powered Entrepreneurship — Building Your First AI Employee
A practical workshop for small business owners who are done collecting ChatGPT tricks and ready to put an AI system to work in their business. Led by Dr. Jason William Johnson (SoundStrategies and Ena Intelligence; SME, Verizon Small Business Digital Ready), the session teaches context engineering as the real skill behind reliable AI, then walks through the four parts of an agentic system: Personality, Memory, Knowledge, and Tools. Attendees leave knowing how those pieces fit together, which platforms and connectors actually help, and what it looks like when an agent runs live. Built for SMB Day audiences. No tech-startup pitch. Real work owners can use Monday morning.
