AI Speaking & Training

AI Speaking & Training from PerezCarreno & Coindreau is hands-on AI training for small business teams and executives. Armando J. Perez-Carreno teaches your people to use ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini on their own tasks, in English or Spanish. Sessions run on-site around San Antonio, Texas, or by video anywhere in the United States. Hands-on formats end with working prompts for each role, and a full day ends with at least one workflow mapped and partly built.

PerezCarreno & Coindreau trains employees to use ChatGPT and Claude on the work they already do, like email, reports, documents, and planning. Each person practices on real tasks from their own job, so the habits carry over to Monday morning. We teach the method behind a good prompt, and that method works in ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini, so your team isn't tied to one tool.

Armando often runs the same task in two AI tools side by side during a session. The wording of the answers differs, and both tools catch the same things, because the method does most of the work. Your team leaves knowing how to get a useful first draft and how to check it before it goes anywhere.

Exercises from recent workshops include:

• Turning a long email thread into a short summary and a list of every request in it
• Teaching the AI your writing voice from a few of your own emails, then drafting replies in that voice
• Checking a draft memo against a review checklist to catch wrong numbers, names, and dates
• Mapping one process from your own job to find the steps AI can take over
• Role-based labs, like a job description from rough notes, a board report from raw notes, a weekly operations update, or a check of an invoice batch
• Watching AI build a small working tool, like a dashboard that checks a batch of invoices

For owners and executives, a lunch and learn is the usual starting point. It runs 60 to 90 minutes with a leadership group under 20 people and centers on your questions about where AI fits in your business and which workflow to try first. Leaders leave with a shared vocabulary for AI decisions and a clear next step for their teams.

A common follow-up is a half-day or full-day session for the wider team. Owners who want ongoing help with tools and vendor decisions can add AI Coaching for Business Owners, billed month to month.

Armando delivers sessions on-site in the San Antonio, Texas area, at your office or event elsewhere in the United States, or live by video. Every format can run in English or Spanish. A short scoping call comes first so the slides and exercises match your industry and the tools your team uses every day.

Armando has spoken at industry events and trained teams inside corporations and small to mid-size businesses. He's been writing production software since 2008, and he writes the deck fresh for every session.

The half-day workshop works best with 8 to 20 hands-on participants. The full-day training is sized for 10 to 30 people across mixed roles like operations, sales, support, marketing, and finance. Nobody needs a technical background, since every format is built for people who use these tools at their desks.

Training works best when the team has something to build next. A common next step is a Custom AI Automation project for one of the workflows mapped during the session, with the first automation usually live within two weeks.
