Practical AI Training

At Skybots Singapore, we focus on one thing: helping you turn AI into real work output.

No theory-heavy lectures. Every session is hands-on, so you leave with practical workflows, tools, and automations you can use immediately.

In the 1 Day Practical AI Class, you will learn how to use tools like Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude, and other AI systems to automate repetitive tasks, generate reports, analyse information, and save hours of manual work.

For those ready to go further, the 1 Day Practical Agentic Solutions Class focuses on building structured workflows, dashboards, and mini AI applications for real business use. You will also explore the latest AI capabilities, including what tools like Claude can actually do in real workflows, and how to apply them effectively.

Whether you are just starting or already using AI tools, this programme shows you how to move beyond basic prompts and turn AI into a reliable system for your daily 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.
