Automation Captain, LLC Launches AI Business Collective to Empower Local Professionals with Hands-On AI Training

Summerville, SC – Automation Captain, LLC announces the official launch of the AI Business Collective, a live, six-session small-group training program designed to help business and organizational leaders adopt artificial intelligence in practical, non-technical ways. Beginning May 27, 2025, the AI Business Collective will meet online every 2nd and 4th Tuesday at 10 am ET, providing an intimate cohort experience limited to just 12 participants.

“In my work as an AI consultant and speaker, I’ve seen again and again that professionals want to leverage AI—but they don’t know where to start,” said Larry Collett, founder of Automation Captain, LLC and instructor of the AI Business Collective. “This program removes the mystery. We speak plain English, focus on real business use cases, and walk each participant through building live AI solutions—like chatbots and automated workflows—so they leave with tools they can deploy immediately.”

Program Highlights

• AI in Plain English: Demystify core AI concepts and terminology.
• Use-Case Discovery: Identify high-impact automation opportunities unique to each business.
• Tool Mastery: Hands-on training with ChatGPT, Zapier, Perplexity, and other leading platforms.
• Process Automation: Learn to design and implement workflows that eliminate repetitive tasks.
• Chatbot Development: Build and launch an AI chatbot—no coding required.
• Ongoing Support: Access to a private cohort forum for peer collaboration between sessions.
• 
  

Each session is capped at 12 seats to ensure personalized attention, live Q&A, and direct coaching from Mr. Collett. Participants will also receive a one-year subscription to the AI chatbot platform covered in the course (a $468 value), enabling them to continue refining and scaling their solutions after the class concludes.

Early-Bird Incentive for Chamber of Commerce Members

In partnership with the Charleston Regional Chamber of Commerce, Automation Captain is offering an exclusive $100 early-registration discount (use code SPRING100 by May 10) on the $600 enrollment fee. Chamber members and local professionals are encouraged to reserve their seats at https://larrycollett.com/courses/ai-business-collective-entry-level/ before the cohort fills.
