Eastern Shore AI Group

AI Is Changing the Shore.
We're Here to Help You Keep Up.

We've spent years working with AI in industry — and noticed nobody's having this conversation locally. So we built free workshops to help Shore businesses understand what's coming and find opportunity in it.

Who We Are

AI Professionals. Shore Locals.

We're a team of AI consultants, engineers, and advisors who live and work on the Eastern Shore. This is what we do for a living — help businesses put AI to work. These workshops are how we give back to our community.

Actually Use It

Live demos with real business examples. You'll leave each session with something you can use the next morning.

Compare Notes

Meet other Shore business owners figuring this out too. Share what's working. Ask the honest questions.

Have a Say

Keep control of how AI works in your operation. Your rules. Your industry. Your call.

Questions

Common Questions About the Workshops

Do I need to know anything about AI to attend?

No. We assume zero tech background. If you can use email, you can follow along. Everything is explained in plain English with real business examples.

What if I can't make it to Cambridge?

We're running sessions in Easton and Salisbury too. Same content, different dates. Sign up to get notified when your location's workshop is scheduled.

What should I bring?

Bring a laptop if you have one. We do live demos and you can follow along. A phone works too — you can watch and ask questions either way.

What tools do you cover?

We cover ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and industry-specific tools. Each session shows you which ones fit your work and which ones aren't worth the trouble.

Who runs these workshops?

A team of AI consultants, engineers, and advisors who live on the Eastern Shore and work with businesses on AI strategy full-time. These workshops are our way of making sure the Shore doesn't get left behind.

What if I want more help after the workshop?

That's what we do. If you want hands-on help implementing AI in your business, we're available for consulting and training. No pressure — the workshop stands on its own.
