This interactive webinar will feature Jess Vibert, Chief of Staff for Furry Friends Humane, an organization that’s found ways to put these tools to use in multiple ways, including by launching a neonatal kitten care app for fosters. Anthony Acquisti, Best Friends’ Senior Consultant, Growth Strategy & Transformation, will introduce participants to the basics of AI agents and automations.
These AI tools can be used to help you build and review reports, reduce time spent on administrative tasks, write first drafts, and otherwise support your work to save cats and dogs. The presentation will also have some kick-starters for you about how to apply these tools thoughtfully, responsibly, and effectively.
Whether you're new to using AI agents and automations, are already using them and looking to do even more, or bring some degree of concern, we invite anyone interested in how best to use this technology for lifesaving to join us for this webinar. Bring your questions for the Q&A. Save your seat and join live!
