Margaret ran an excellent workshop that was accessible for newbies as well as more experienced users. The prompting exercises were so helpful in launching us on our A.I. journey.

Last night's talk was exactly what I (and I know I'm speaking for other neighbors too) needed. You gave us very clear information and a framework to start experimenting with it without fear.
