Free Video Lesson Coming Soon: How Island Businesses Can Use AI to Save Time and Grow Smarter

In the next couple of weeks, WightSpark AI will release a free online class for Isle of Wight businesses.
It is a 30-minute video lesson that shows exactly how small and medium-sized enterprises can use AI in day-to-day work without spending extra on software or subscriptions.

The class focuses on getting real results from AI. It is practical, straightforward and designed for people who run busy shops, trades or services and want to see improvements quickly.

Why This Lesson Matters

Many local business owners have already experimented with ChatGPT or similar tools. Some have seen impressive results, while others have found the output uneven or too general.
This lesson explains why that happens and how to improve the results every single time.

The key is learning how to prompt effectively. The way you give instructions to AI determines the quality of the answer. A clear, detailed prompt often produces work that feels ready for customers with little or no editing.

What You Will Learn

1. Understanding How AI Interprets Language

The lesson begins with a simple explanation of how tools like ChatGPT process your words. Once you grasp that idea, writing effective prompts becomes easier and more predictable.

2. Creating Prompts That Work Every Time

You will learn a set of techniques for writing instructions that produce clear, consistent and useful results.
Examples include social media posts, product descriptions, customer emails and marketing plans.

3. Using the Prompt Wizard

We will demonstrate how Prompt Wizard GPT improves results inside ChatGPT. It refines your ideas into strong prompts that generate polished, professional text.
You will see examples drawn from everyday Island businesses such as cafés, builders, retailers and creative studios.

4. Working Smarter with WightSpark AI

The lesson also explores WightSpark Consultant GPT, the free tool that creates growth audits, marketing plans, sales copy and performance trackers.
You will learn how to combine Consultant GPT with Prompt Wizard so you can move from planning to finished content quickly and confidently.

5. Real Examples from Local Business Life

Throughout the class, you will see examples that feel familiar to anyone working on the Isle of Wight.
A restaurant planning a quiet-season promotion.
A tradesperson preparing a quote while on the road.
A local shop announcing a new product.
Each example shows what AI can do when used properly and thoughtfully.

Made for the Isle of Wight

The course was created here and built around the challenges that local businesses face, such as small teams, tight budgets and seasonal trade.
It is designed to be approachable and practical rather than technical.
Anyone with a ChatGPT account will be able to follow along and apply the ideas immediately.
