TL;DR
Waboom AI runs hands-on ChatGPT training for Christchurch and Canterbury teams, with a strong fit for manufacturing, food processing and engineering. The training starts with prompting and plain language SOPs, then moves to repeat procedures saved as Skills, quality files reached through plugins, and production reports handed to ChatGPT Work or run as scheduled tasks, with safe use of company data throughout. AI Foundations is a three hour session at $1,995 + GST for up to 10 people, run face to face at your Christchurch office or site, or virtual. Every session is delivered by Leo, an experienced AI practitioner.

ChatGPT training in Christchurch starts at $1,995 + GST for a three hour AI Foundations session with up to 10 people. AI Power User costs $3,995 + GST, the six hour AI Builder Bootcamp costs $5,995 + GST, and extra people are $200 + GST each.
ChatGPT licences are separate and billed by OpenAI.
We run ChatGPT training face to face in Christchurch offices, factories and boardrooms, from the central city to Hornby, Sydenham and out to Rolleston, or virtual over Teams or Zoom.
Canterbury firms with staff at more than one site can bring the second group in virtually, or book a fully virtual session.
Manufacturing and food processing teams get a lot from it, because so much of their time goes on written procedures, quality records and supplier back and forth. Manufacturing is Canterbury's largest sector by GDP, and around 40% of its workforce is in food manufacturing.
Office teams in engineering, distribution and professional services get the same benefit on proposals, reports and email.
Floor supervisors usually start at AI Foundations. Quality and operations staff who already use ChatGPT get more from AI Power User, where the SOP format becomes a Skill and the weekly numbers go to ChatGPT Work. The Builder Bootcamp suits teams wanting workspace agents that answer procedure questions from the approved SOPs, with a named owner reviewing their answers.
Canterbury makes things, and making things creates paperwork. These are the ChatGPT set ups that suit Christchurch manufacturers and the teams around them.
Training runs face to face at your Christchurch office, factory or boardroom, or virtual for Canterbury teams spread across several sites.
Areas we cover: Christchurch Central, Riccarton, Addington, Hornby, Sydenham, Rolleston, Kaiapoi, Rangiora.

Waboom AI ChatGPT training in Christchurch is a hands-on workshop that teaches manufacturing, food processing and office teams to use ChatGPT on their real work: plain language SOPs saved as Skills, quality documents drawn from connected apps, supplier email, production reports handed to ChatGPT Work and safe handling of company data. It runs at three levels, AI Foundations, AI Power User and AI Builder Bootcamp, from $1,995 + GST including 10 people, face to face in Christchurch or virtual. Waboom AI is an independent New Zealand company and is not affiliated with OpenAI.
Yes, and at your site if that suits better. A boardroom, training room or lunchroom all work. You provide a screen, Wi-Fi and a table for laptops, and each person works on their own account.
Virtual sessions have no extra costs. For face to face sessions in Christchurch, any additional costs such as travel are discussed with you over the phone before you book, so there are no surprises.
Both. AI Foundations suits people who rarely sit at a desk. We keep it practical: rewriting a procedure, drafting a handover note, preparing a toolbox talk. Office staff who use ChatGPT daily often go on to AI Power User, where they connect it to the quality drive and hand whole reports to ChatGPT Work.
With a business plan and sensible rules, usually yes. On ChatGPT Business and Enterprise, OpenAI does not train its models on your business data by default. Customer specs, recipes and anything under a confidentiality agreement still need a decision, and safety also depends on workspace settings and permissions, so we set those rules with you first.
Yes. Food makes up around 40% of Canterbury's manufacturing workforce, so it is a common fit. Typical jobs are hygiene and cleaning procedures rewritten as short steps, customer spec questionnaires drafted from your existing spec sheets, and audit findings turned into an action list. Recipes and customer specs under confidentiality stay out until you have agreed the plan and settings.
Yes. We can run the session at one site with the other group joining virtually, or split it into two sessions on the same day. The planning call is where we sort out what works for your shifts.
No. Waboom AI is an independent New Zealand AI company. We are not affiliated with OpenAI and OpenAI does not run or endorse this training. We teach what works in real businesses.
