NEW: Sign up for the upcoming Practical AI class on 13 April and Advanced AI class on 14 April

Practical AI Training

At Skybots Singapore, we don’t believe in theory heavy lectures. Our training is 100% hands on and practical, designed so that by the end of the day, you walk away with real AI workflows you built yourself.

Our programmes focus on practical AI skills that professionals can apply immediately in their daily work. In the 1 Day Practical AI Class, you will learn how to use tools like Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude, Pair Chat and other AI systems to automate repetitive tasks, generate reports, analyse information, and improve productivity.

For those ready to go further, the 1 Day Advanced Practical AI Class teaches more powerful techniques to build structured AI workflows, mini apps, and integrate AI into more complex work processes.

Whether you are just starting with AI or looking to deepen your capabilities, our classes are designed to help you turn AI into a real productivity tool that saves hours of manual work.

Why Learn AI and RPA?

AI is changing the way professionals work worldwide.

AI tools like ChatGPT and Copilot make it easy to automate within Microsoft Office, including Excel, Word, PowerPoint, and Outlook, helping you clean data, build dashboards, summarise meeting minutes, and generate analytics instantly.

What makes this training different is who you are learning from. You are guided by a practitioner who has built real-world automations, led digital transformation projects, and is a multiple-time automation and AI hackathon winner. The focus is not theory, but proven techniques, practical shortcuts, and lessons learned from actual implementations, so you leave knowing what works in practice.

And the best part? The tools taught in this training are completely free, with zero recurring software costs.

FAQs

Corporate classes

Yes, we conduct corporate classes for organisations. These sessions can be tailored to your team’s specific workflows, industry use cases, and automation goals.

Do I need coding experience?

No. Both trainings are designed for non-programmers and focus on practical, hands-on workflows using low-code tools. If you can use Excel confidently, you will be able to follow along.

Mac vs Windows requirements

The RPA class requires a Windows laptop, as macOS is not supported. The AI class can be attended on either Windows or Mac, though Windows is preferred, especially if you are attending both classes

Minimum Computer Specs

Participants must bring a Windows laptop running Windows 7 or later, as macOS is not supported. The system should have a dual-core CPU with a minimum speed of 1.4 GHz, a 64-bit processor, at least 8 GB of RAM, and a minimum of 15 GB of free disk space.
