| What is the Small Business AI Jam? The Small Business AI Jam is a nationwide, hands-on workshop that helps small business leaders learn practical ways to use ChatGPT in their day-to-day work–from writing marketing copy and organizing schedules to handling customer messages or bookkeeping. Small business owners in San Francisco, New York City, Houston, Detroit and Miami will spend the day learning side-by-side with OpenAI mentors, with support from community partners and DoorDash team members. By the end of the day, you’ll walk away with at least one ready-to-use AI solution tailored to your business. For example, a café owner might build a daily specials planner that drafts social posts, or a salon owner might create a ChatGPT assistant to manage appointments and client follow-ups. Those unable to attend in person will receive free learning resources via OpenAI Academy, including options to attend virtual workshops in December and January. Why Attend? Hands-on results: In one day, you will design and test an AI tool that helps with your real business needs – such as marketing, hiring, inventory or customer service. All levels welcome: No coding or tech background required. Beginners will learn the basics of ChatGPT step-by-step, with optional pre-event video tutorials available online. Learn from mentors: Get personalized help from trained ChatGPT mentors and connect with peers facing similar challenges in your community. Free to participate: Registration is free. How Does it Work? Before Jam Day: Participants can watch an optional virtual on-ramp with short, on-demand video tutorials to introduce ChatGPT and show simple ways small businesses are already using AI. On Jam Day (November 20): Start with a guided introduction to ChatGPT and hands-on training led by OpenAI mentors. Then, work side-by-side with mentors and peers to build your own AI tool—such as a marketing assistant, customer-service helper, or bookkeeping organizer—and connect with other small-business owners in your community. After Jam Day: Stay connected and keep learning with free, on-demand resources on OpenAI Academy. Who Should Attend? The Jam is designed for “Main Street” businesses with 1-100 employees, including restaurants, shops, service providers and online sellers who want to save time, reach more customers and grow with AI. All roles and departments are welcome. Seats are limited and filled on a rolling basis, so register early to secure your spot. It takes about 10 minutes to complete. Confirmed participants will receive event details by email. Submitting the registration form does not guarantee attendance. We hope to see you in November.
