The signature talk

You Can Use
AI for That?

Discover useful possibilities in the work and life already in front of you.

Matt starts with a Saturday volunteer schedule. You’ll see what to type, what to check when someone cancels, and how to fix a double booking. Then you’ll apply the same six steps to a learning aid and a small calculator.

You'll leave with a way to spot opportunities of your own, an experiment to try, and a practical way to judge the result.

Meet Matt

Curiosity, followed
by practical work.

“Where else could this help?” is a question worth spending time with.

My background spans operations, training, customer success, implementation, product management, and running a small business. I enjoy connecting an ordinary problem with an approach someone may not have considered.

I use AI across work, learning, and everyday projects. In these talks, I share the thinking behind those experiments, including the revisions, limitations, and checks that matter.

I love God and follow the Bible’s teachings. I want that to show up in how I work and teach: honest answers, careful work, keeping my word, and treating people with patience and respect.

For event organizers

A clear plan
for your event.

What does a booking include?

Can you adapt it to our audience?

Yes. Choose the business, everyday-life, or education and nonprofit edition. We will discuss your audience and select examples during the planning call.

What setup do you need?

For in-person events: a screen, HDMI connection, and suitable audio. Internet supports live examples; recorded walkthroughs provide a backup. Virtual events need screen sharing and audio.
